Sex after menopause

Should have added severe period pain before the children arrived but again perhaps I shouldn’t complain xx

Oldbatty thanks but it’s an honest post but hey ho perhaps I’m lucky after all. I’ve always had hormonal issues with severe period pain every month to the point of fainting but now I think those issues might be to my benefit. I’ve never felt better since my periods stopped and I’ve never required any treatment. Perhaps that’s why women my age don't empathise with me and I’m ok with it cause it’s understandable.

Such a serious subject and a ridiculous user name. I read through looking for the punchline and I wasn’t disappointed.

“ Sorry that wasn't very complimentary about my GP. To be fair they are so busy they just don't have the time for minor stuff like this. “

I think someone has been had over,again.

Happy Days. I'm sure somebody will be along soon who can empathise with your plight.

Yeah right

Haha, no what I’m saying is my hormonal makeup means unless I’m exhausted I’m like an ever ready battery but believe you me it’s uncomfortable at times. Mr lova Lova man can be watching a film & I’m just watching the clock so to speak & yes, he is very fit haha and more than able haha but this was not the reason for my post. I was just looking for some empathy ?

So what's the issue? You can't keep your hands off Mr Lova Lova man or what?

Yes you are right, lets bring this issue out into the open.

Ok, found this after deciding to pluck up the courage to ask if there’s anyone else out there who found their sex drive increased at the menopause & now in my late 50s there’s no such thing as dryness anywhere,or decreased libido. Before anyone dismisses this as showing off, I understand I may have hormonal issues causing me to produce too much oestrogen, not less & I’m also aware this can be a contributing factor to future breast cancer. I don’t expect to get many empathic replies but nevertheless I feel it’s something worth addressing for those of us who can’t relate to the more common symptoms of the menopause. In this day & age we should not be ashamed of sharing such issues,if indeed this should be classed as an issue. It’s certainly not an issue for DH but in all honesty I wish it would settle down at times. Should I post this or not? Ok, here goes!

Sorry didn't finish post.
To continue - I too lost my libido post menopause. For about 5/6 years if I remember rightly. Then it came back with a bang ( ?). We have had no trouble since, with dryness or frequency. Worth the wait DH says

Just to reassure some of you ladies. I am nearly 74

Vatican cream! A typo to treasure...

Picked up this thread and had the best laugh since my granddaughter told me she was going "Comanche": she meant "Commando" in that she had no pants on under her jeans! Only 5, so will allow such behaviour!

I usually manage a couple of rows of my knitting!!!

Can't risk a wicket being taken at 1.5 minutes, the roar from the tv would be disastrous

Only if there's no cricket on the tv

God, does it take that long these days??

With one three minute song!

Coolgran65 LOL!!!

I wish there was. Someone tell Mr absent.

lemongrove yes, using the rhythm method would be good - but where would you get a band at that time of night. ??? .

Mollyplop, GPS are far too busy. However, painful intercourses, loss of libido etc isn’t minor imo

Should it be applied using the rhythm method?
