[quote=Anonymous]Despite my depression and menopausal libido I still masturbate on a fairly regular basis, 2-3 times per week or more. It’s great stress relief and I usually do it near bedtime to aid sleep but sometimes the urge strikes mid day. I appreciate that there is now much more erotic porn available that is appealing to women with my sensibility, so I do tend to use that kind of porn as an enhancement aid most of the time. I haven’t had sex with a penis that has a man attached in more than a decade, entirely by choice - I’m 51 and I’ve experienced too much male BS in my life it’s just not worth it. My orgasms were almost always better by myself anyway, since I started learning my body at around age 11/12. With men I would most often have to masturbate during sex to have an orgasm with my partner.

There is significant research pointing to a precipitous drop in sperm counts and fertility worldwide due to the effect of forever chemicals - PFAS/PFOS. Some scientists believe we are headed toward species extinction because of this issue. I wonder if that issue isn’t also affecting libido. Certainly the prevalence of overweight and obesity very likely is, as accumulation of excess body fat alters hormones and very often to the detriment of libido. And yes many people take psych drugs that alter libido and porn and smartphones aren’t helping either. Meh.[/quote]
