It's not just dryness, and lube doesn't cut it.
The structures in the genital area atrophy with age, even if you are on HRT. It doesn't stretch and absorb a pounding the way it did before the change of life. It really, really hurts to have PIV sex unless maybe your partner has a wee roll of dimes for a penis.

I am 40 and looking forward to this!

Is vaginal estrogen an RX?

Consider yourself fortunate. None of us could imagine not wanting sex regularly, either- estrogen (or lack thereof) is a helluva drug. A 90 minute deep tissue professional massage is now my idea of satisfying sex, bonus points for hot stones.

It's astonishing to me because I was the high drive one in this relationship by far. But we grew far apart after having a child in our early 40's and honestly, he has changed so much politically and morally that I doubt we'd even be Facebook friends at this point if we weren't married and raising a kid.
Even if I were given a choice between a night with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, or Idris Elba, I can't even imagine feeling sexual desire. I'd definitely say yes for a chance to hang out with naked Idris Elba because he is such delicious eye candy and seems fun and interesting, but at this point the only physical contact I'd want is either a back massage or falling asleep on his chest while he pets my hair. No genitals need to be involved. It's like mine are just...permanently offline.

Yes, this. Atrophy is a thing. I thought the pain was going to knock me out.
Problem is, now men have viagra. Used to be there wasn't much of a cure for ED so married men and women could age together, sexually. Now they have viagra and we have no equivalent.
