Sex Over 35: Hormones, Desire, Pleasure & Connection

Longtime residents of the Lower Naugatuck Valley may remember Rena's Ultra Boutique, the Bank Street business opened by Rena Lewis in Seymour in 1971.
Known for lingerie, intimate apparel, wigs and adult novelties, Rena's was also something less visible: a place where people could shop privately, ask questions and feel accepted during a time when conversations about sexuality were far less open than they are today.
More than 50 years later, Rena's granddaughter, <a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/glow-getters/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ashley Fox, LPN</a>, is carrying an unexpected part of her grandmother's legacy forward.
Ashley is now a Certified Sex Therapy Practitioner at Milford Med Spa &amp; Wellness and will be part of <a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/sex-over-35-event-in-milford-ct-ct-sex-week/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sex Over 35: Hormones, Desire, Pleasure &amp; Connection</a>, a free community educational event on Tuesday, September 29 from 6–8 PM in Milford.
Growing up, Ashley saw firsthand how her grandmother Rena made people feel comfortable discussing subjects that were often considered taboo. Rena welcomed customers from many different backgrounds and created an environment centered on privacy, respect and acceptance.
Today, Ashley brings those same values to conversations about sexual wellness, relationships, intimacy and the changes that can happen throughout adulthood.
<h2><a href="https://milfordmedspa.com/sex-over-35-event-in-milford-ct-ct-sex-week/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sex Over 35</a></h2>
Sex Over 35 will bring healthcare professionals, patients and community members together for an open, judgment-free conversation about how hormones, health, relationships and intimacy can change as we age.
