The magic of Botox and exercise have left her feeling young and desirable again. Connie is in her 50s, but much to her surprise lots of men – younger men – are still interested.

Hoping to meet someone special, Connie creates profiles on Match.com and Ashley Madison.com. Though she doesn’t find exactly what she was looking for, she does end up having lots of sex with lots of different people.

One day, a work colleague spies her making out in public with one of her “play dates.” Then her boy toy asks her for money. She is mortified and realizes she feels emptier than she did before she started dating. She asks herself: What am I really looking for?

Why She Seeks Treatment

Something happens that frightens Connie. She may get robbed on her way to meet a stranger, or one of her play dates may steal from her. Maybe she develops feelings for one young man, who she discovers is just using her for money. For the first time, Connie fears seeing her gynecologist for a routine check-up, worried that she may have contracted an STD.

Connie may also realize that her behavior isn’t healthy or normal after joining a support group for divorced women. She may live in fear that her children will find out she’s been dating guys around their age. It’s time, she decides, to figure out what took her down this dangerous path.
