[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16 years, 2 kids, 40s - ours is great. [b]I'm not close to being menopausal[/b] and my H is still very loving and attentive,  so these help a lot. Slowdown a little because he's on ADHD meds, but he's not taking them during the weekend.

Though your situation sounds pretty good, I had to laugh at the bolded. How would you know you are not close to being menopausal, and why would you assume that your sex life will be vastly different once you are?[/quote]

DP. I’m perimenopausal and my sex drive has fallen off a cliff.

Like no amount of foreplay will help.

Right? I thought this was universal, your sex drive falls a little or all the way after menopause. [/quote]

New poster. Please don't make generalized assumptions about anything to do with sex. It's individual. I'm a woman, 57, postmenopausal, married 25 years, and my drive has increased after menopause. Birth control pills tended to suppress my drive so that was part of the issue but I also think I was fairly middling re: drive anyway. Then in the past year in particular my drive has gone up noticeably. I actually think being at home with DH during the pandemic is a big factor--neither of us has ever been very interested in bedtime sex, so being home together during the day and no commutes to eat up time etc. is helping a lot. With more opportunities that aren't just nighttime, I find it easier to get in the mood than when we were both going out to offices, commuting, coming home tired, busy on weekends with kids (who are both in person at colleges now so...mostly empty nest too).
