I have talked to many of my friends about this and none have the same experience as I am. My sex drive is through the roof. All I think about is sex. Some may not think it’s a problem, but it is really difficult. Anyone else experience this?
While there is some chemistry involved in Libido, my mother is going through menopause and her sexual drive only increased. She's been actively dating since the pandemic was over. I think we discussed about this in another thread. About how women who let their sex flame turn off wither and grow older much faster than those than not. I'm far from that age still, however I can say if that you had an active sex life your whole life I don't find it strange that menopause is hitting you with an increase of libido. Your sexual mind and normal apettite set you on that path.
I’m several years into peri, and I’ve seen high highs and low lows. Overall it’s like I’m primed, but some days it just cruises along rather than races along.
I just found this post, thank you. I'll be 41 in a few weeks and this question just kind of sits in the back of my mind. I know it can be different for one person or another, but you and others here have encouraged me to not worry about it. I'm very sexually active, as much as I ever was, and I don't want to lose any of that drive for some time.
Yes, we prepared ourselves our whole lives to enjoy menopause like champs. Female sexuality is utterly emotional, and sex drive is an emotion. Our active sexualities makes us happy, which is why we are so active, so I'm confident my menopause days will have as much fun as my fertile days.
Ladies…. Thank you so much for sharing your insights! As a man, it helps us to navigate through the emotions as well as the sexual appetites as women go through menopause. Luv you gals!
