[quote=Anonymous]I am just about 53 and have been in menopause 4 years - it all happened early because of ovarian removal surgery. I have been on HRT for the last two years, which has well alleviated most of the worst symptoms of the change.

But, things are quite dry down there these days - and I have been voluntarily celibate for the last 12 years, so I have no idea what intercourse would be like given the changes that have happened to my body during peri and post menopause.

For those who are well in menopause and still have an active sex life including vaginal intercourse, is it possible for this to be a painless experience?

Does lube make up for what used to happen naturally?

Are there special creams to use to make things more naturally moisturized? Can they be used along with oral HRT?

Thank you in advance for any and all answers/suggestions. I am contemplating dating again, but have some anxiety about this issue. I used to really love sex and I suspect most men in midlife will still want some, but I could live without it especially if it's painful and there really is no cure for that. I'm wondering about real life experiences of sex in menopause i.e., are women enduring it or can it actually still be pleasurable and wonderful with the menopause body.
