[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PERIMENOPAUSE, AND SUBSEQUENTLY MENOPAUSE, CHANGES EVERYTHING.  for the people in the back.

Read some books.  What fresh hell is this by Corinna Henry is one book.  There are others.  It’s never going to be the same.  Young people need to understand this non-negotiable part of life and figure out how to navigate it.

You 40?  Get educated about perimenopause.  I’m talking to both spouses.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree with another poster above that this is  a bit clickbaity with the shouting headline. We understand, menopause does not get talked about openly enough, if at all.

But it IS navigable, which you note, and not doom and gloom. I posted earlier in this thread: Menopause was the best thing that ever happened to our sex life. Zero concern about pregnancy, no more hormonal birth control (which decreased my libido), better understanding of what we both wanted because we were older and, yeah, it helped that with our kid being much older, we had much more time in the house alone. I fully realize that my individual experience is not universal and I don't claim menopause will be fine for every couple everywhere, but I know that it does not have to be the end of sex, like some threads on DCUM try to claim. I've seen other posters on those threads over the years saying the same thing as me--that after 50 and after menopause sex can be fine or even improve.

Absolutely DO get educated about menopause but don't approach it [i]expecting[/i] it to kill all sex or it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy and it will...kill all sex. Communicate, talk to your doctor frankly and don't panic even before it's happening. [/quote]
