Sex after menopause

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

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

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!

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.

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 ?

Yeah right

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

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.

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.

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

Sorry what I supposed to be empathising with exactly?

Oldbatty much as I appreciate your responses you were perhaps not meant to be empathising. I made it clear I was asking if there were any other post menopausal women who had a high sex drive & despite my moans my doctor said it was perfectly normal for some women.

Anyway, off to bed & thankfully we are both exhausted after catering for people all day ?

No thanks ?

Overrated !

Vickixx I am surprised that you didn't put this in your list on your thread Expressions that make you happy.

I did put down ‘I love you’ and making love is an expression of ours that we both still very much enjoy. We are pretty straightforward in that respect so there’s no hanging from the chandeliers etc haha ? I’m not surprised my post didn’t receive many replies but I still feel many are probably hiding it under a bushel ?

Sorry but I'd rather have a nice cup of tea!

Well, I think it's perfectly normal, and reasonable, to feel you just can't be arsed with it anymore.

Hormones are funny old things though. And in your late fifties you are still a spring chicken. Can't remember much about my fifties but I'm pretty sure I was still into it then. Shrug.

OK I have removed my bushel. Me and Mr Batty have pampas grass in the front garden. I think that tells you all you need to know.

Oh no OldBatty
There were 2 big pampas grasses in the front garden when we moved in here in June but we cut them down. What have we missed?

a great deal my friend, let me tell you.
