I recently received a request from one of our Ignite Intimacy listeners to have a conversation focused on ageism and dating. This woman is in her mid-60’s and has been experiencing some dating challenges based on her age. &nbsp; In response I reached out to former guest, Walker Thornton, who is an expert, advocate and author focused on women’s sexuality. I knew she’d have some juicy tips and insights for us! &nbsp; Join Walker and I as we dive into the topic of ageism, online dating, sex and communication. Walker shares some key tips for how to stay safe when engaging with online dating and how to explore and engage with potential partners that align with your desires and values.&nbsp; &nbsp; About Walker:   &nbsp; Walker Thornton is a sex educator, speaker, and sexual health writer.

Dana Saylor is a 21st century woman and dynamic being living in these powerful times, although she could have easily lived in the 1950’s with her grounded energy and savvy. We&nbsp;dive into her own relational experiences past, present and future, especially as&nbsp;a married woman who decided to broach the topic of open relationships with her husband, and what happened as a result. She turns me on to the Kinsey Scale, and how to be transparent and open about our own sexual orientation, our desires and fantasies. We dive into non-negotiables, the power of alone time, online dating, ‘swipe’ culture and more! Dana&nbsp;is an artist, historian, and event planner… a 'creative place maker' of sorts, which is a blanket term that she uses to define her passions and expertise in art, historical research, event planning, and the consulting she offers community organizations to bring more juice to local events in innovative ways. She is most definitely a leader who respects both cultural and architectural history, and a visual artist depicting architecture and other&nbsp;beauty she sees as well. Are you ready to dispel the myth with Dana and I? Then tune in NOW!   &nbsp; Find Dana and learn more about her projects, consulting and art online at DanaSaylor.com and EveryBuildinginBuffalo.com She is also a Vice President and Co-Founder of Emerging Leaders in the Arts in Buffalo, NY and a member of the Young Buffalo Preservationists and you can find her on Facebook at @UrbanSketchersBuffalo
