Hello! Welcome to Get a Second Wind, Inc. My name is Katherine Anne Forsythe, or “Kat” if you prefer. I am the chief blogger at www.getasecondwind.com. My passion is helping you redefine and invigorate sexuality at midlife and beyond for you! I am dedicated to bringing sexual happiness to you – in your way, with solutions that work for you. I’d like to invite you to see me live, in person, in this video in American Sexuality magazine. Additionally, I am a featured author in Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter (2009, CLFE, PPGNNJ).
Especially at midlife plus, I believe in your right to have amazing relationships intimately and sexually, in your way, on your own terms.

In addition to my work in sexuality. I worked in corporate America as a management consultant for 25 years. I learned how intensely your intimate life can affect your professional life. Many of my clients have been senior level executives who have no one else to discuss their intimate concerns with.
We face a whole continuum of issues that we never faced, before: We may be embarrassed about exposing our bodies as we date. Performance is a huge issue for men. Women may experience pain in intercourse. Some of us have forgotten how to be “sexy”. Those are only the tip of the iceberg.
I know there are burning questions that you need answered but you don’t know who to ask. I am here to help. Perhaps you are living with a secret that you have told no one. I am here to listen and rally round you. On the other hand, it’s very possible that you are enjoying “off the charts” sex right now, but you want it even better – you just want to know how. Believe me; I’ve got that one covered in spades!
My inspiration to work as a sex educator and intimacy coach began as I watched a tragic episode unfold when I was in high school. We were “double dating” (remember that?), and we were at my boyfriend’s house when his parents weren’t home. The other couple headed straight for the bedroom. It wasn’t 10 minutes, when my girlfriend came out giggling. “The rubber broke!”. Then, she was terrified. What if I am pregnant? She rushed home, and hacked her vagina to pieces, using a hanger, trying in vain to give herself a self induced abortion. It failed, and she almost died. She kept the pregnancy, amazingly, and almost died again giving birth to a beautiful boy. Her boyfriend left her. She lost her full scholarship to college. Her life turned upside down.
I vowed at that time that my life’s work would be to do everything I could to educate and teach all people to be “sexually literate” – to understand the beauty and joy of ourselves as sexual beings, and to understand how the power of our sexuality can help us and hurt us, to be honest in our communication about sex, and to know what the heck we are doing! More importantly, as midlife+ adults, I am committed to helping us RE-define and re-energize our sexuality in a way that works for each individual person, and have fun along the way.
Whether you are single or partnered, and whether you are straight, gay, lesbian, bi, or trans, you will find me easy to talk to and open minded, so that you can come to me with any question or situation – and I mean any situation, state of affairs, or condition that you find yourself in! Nothing will surprise me, shock me, or turn me away from you. Believe me, I know how sensitive the topic of sex can be. Whether in person, by phone, in an email, or in a blog, I will be understanding, direct, full of suggestions, and always discreet. I promise you accurate information, some great laughs, and some serious solutions. I look forward to sharing our midlife and beyond sexuality community with you.
Watch Kat live as she tells it all about sex and midlife plus!
