[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perimenopause over here with the same sex drive I have always had more or less. I think the hormones matter much less than popular culture says. Yes men and women’s sex drives and sexual function BOTH change over time. But so far nothing has disappeared and I don’t see why it would. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I enjoy orgasms and being turned on so I don’t see that going away. Change yes, go away, no. [/quote]

You don't see why your ovaries ceasing function would change sex drive and sexual function?  I'm glad you've had a positive experience, but to not even understand that other women may experience something different?  Huh. To reach middle age and to be either so lacking in knowledge or empathy is embarrassing. [/quote]

NP, and agree completely.

It is almost as if the PP you answered is trying to deny peri and meno exist at all.

Talk about patronizing! [/quote]

You think it’s patronizing to say women can enjoy sex in menopause? Ok then! [/quote]

Have you always suffered from reading comprehension issues, PP ?

It is patronizing to dismiss or deny the many any varied symptoms of peri and menopause, which are experienced by half the population of this planet!

And just because you personally avoided a particular symptom in no way means other women aren’t struggling with it.[/quote]

Ummm the point is that perimenopause is not a permanent off switch to your sex drive. Change yes, completely end for all women, no. OP herself just says she doesn’t want to have sex with her DH but still enjoys solo time. I understand you’re really threatened by this so I suggest you try to excavate a bit why that is. This is the point in life when we should be embracing what we want - maybe for some that truly is “no more sex ever” but I think in most cases that is NOT due to hormonal changes alone but other issues as well - unattractive husband, a lifetime of bad sex, SSRIs, inhibitions ….[/quote]
