[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true that receiving oral is also much less enjoyable, along with PIV?  Is there a reason for this?[/quote]

My DW always enjoyed receiving oral. At about 60 she decided she no longer wanted it. 
I, too, would be curious about a reason behind this change. Anyone?[/quote]

The lack of estrogen in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal body reduces sensation and blood flow to all the structures that were responsible for sexual function and pleasure in the fertile female body. It also reduces libido which is a critical factor in making sexual acts pleasurable.

As lovely as oral sex is with a skilled partner, as some point it becomes a kind of annoyance when orgasm is no longer a real possibility given the aging body.

And no, HRT does not solve all these problems. It’s restored my sleep and sanity, but it’s still an encroaching Sahara in the nether regions and considering my last two Pap smears, it’s safe to say the muscle tone and flexibility down there has also changed a lot. My once high libido mind/body is in permanent snooze mode - I do sometimes masturbate to relieve tension and ward off migraine, but I have to use visual pornography to get myself in the mental and physical space to orgasm.

It sucks but on the other hand, being free of the sexual desire has given me so much more space in my head for more meaningful things. I’m lucky that I don’t have a partner nagging me for it as some women do. [/quote]

Oof. This is grim.[/quote]
