[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sex stops @ peri.

Most men don’t know this (or figure it out too late).[/quote]

So I thought I was in peri because of hot flashes and hormonal swings (mid 40s) but maybe not because what I'm finding is an incredibly sharp uptick in my sex drive- every day would be great. Or is this a swan song???[/quote]

Jeff created a special Meno/ peri sub forum.  It’s worth at least browsing.

There is a stark and recurring theme there:  changes in libido, beginning in peri.

My informal assessment is about 70-80% experience decreasing/ disappearing libido (pay attention to the thread:  “absolutely repulsed by thought of intimacy” ).

The lucky few, like you PP, report a steady or increased libido.

Also:  the 2 prescription “libido” drugs out there seem like total flops.

In contrast, there are rare doctors who prescribe low-dose testosterone for peri/ menopausal women, for a wide variety of symptom relief (energy, cognitive boost, joint pain, sleep, etc). In the sub forum, T supplementation does seem to boost women’s libido.[/quote]

Thank you, PP!! I remember seeing this now but had somehow forgotten. And for this tl;dr which was super helpful. Bless you![/quote]
