Menopause and sexual lust

Understanding Menopause and Sex Life

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, marked by the end of the menstrual cycle and which generally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. It is associated with hormonal changes , especially the drop in estrogen and progesterone, which can affect the body, emotional well-being and sex life.

Common changes during menopause

Vaginal dryness

Reduced moisture can cause discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse.

Loss of vaginal elasticity

Decreased elasticity can make penetration more painful if not properly cared for.

Changes in libido

Some women report a drop in sexual desire, while others do not notice significant changes.

Mood swings

Emotional swings are frequent and also influence the sexual experience.

Pleasure is still possible

Despite the changes, pleasure is preserved and can be stimulated in different ways:

Rediscovering the body and new experiences

Greater attention to foreplay , oral sex , masturbation and the use of erotic toys

Valuing intimacy, with more emotional connection , freedom and self-confidence

Recommended resources and care

Lubricants and moisturizing creams : reduce discomfort and facilitate pleasurable relationships

Hormone therapy (under medical supervision) : can compensate for symptoms and improve sexual well-being

Pelvic floor exercises : strengthen vaginal muscles and increase pleasure

Open communication with your partner : strengthens complicity and understanding in your intimate life

Final considerations

Menopause doesn't mean the end of your sex life .
With information, care, and openness to new forms of pleasure, this phase can be experienced fully and satisfactorily.

Sexuality is part of health and deserves attention at all stages of life .
