[quote=Anonymous]Two things:

How long does this increase typically last? Because I hear it totally plummets after menopause? So like 5-10 years at the most?

I must be in perimenopause now because my libido is way up. I basically think about it all the time now and want to have sex every day. My husband must be bewildered, lol. It’s funny because all through my thirties, when I was pregnant/post partum/breastfeeding/and then frequently “touched out” by 3 babies and toddlers, I only really wanted it around ovulation. I made sure to have sex once a week just to keep my husband happy but I would have been ok without.

Now though, it’s completely different and I have to assume it’s due to the hormone imbalance (estrogen falls in perimenopause so testosterone is more dominant at the moment).

So that leads me to the second thing:

Is this what it’s like for men all their lives but even worse? I truly can’t imagine. I kind of feel bad for them now!! They can’t help themselves.

Does anyone else relate?[/quote]
