Post Menapause - Will my sex drive decrease?
446028
I am in the same boat as you.  My husband thinks I'm crazy.  I love it.  He would be one of the ones asking, "On average how many times do married couples do it."  I say who cares about average, man... Let's just do it. \n\n To answer your question...  They say it does.  But I'm sure everyone is different.

I have never heard of that feedback mechanism and I am not sure it makes logical sense.  I can see where someone might suppose it though - our sexual drive is temporarily satisfied; testosterone is responsible in both sexes for sex drive.  But no, hormone levels do not decrease.  \n\nI do know that after orgasm oxytocin is secreted which actually promotes our interest in being close and cuddling...in some cases, snooze.  \n\nOur bodies are amazing!

Because their libido is so low that its might as well state that it isnt there. By this age, most women would have already been through menopause. Remember menopause is when a the process that stops the woman from menstrating(or having her period) and can no longer produce eggs.\n\nThe body will register this process and hormones will change the woman. The whole reason for sex is to reproduce and have babies. Now if she no longer can have babies then, why would her body want to heve sex if doing so would be invain? Her libido will lower and her sex drive will weaken and not be as strong as a woman who is reproductive.\n\nThats why women after the ages of 60rs, dont tend to want to have sex. Its just not in them.

Yes, unless you peel it back and keep yourself clean.  And if it won't peel back, your changes of finding a sex partner definitely decreases.

It sounds as if you might be heading into menapause. If not being interested in sex bothers you, see your physician. There are a number of treatments available which can help you with this.

if you are asking if a woman can have a lower sex drive after having sex, yes, i can't seem to come more than once, and i'm done, but give it a couple hours, ready to go again. \nif you are asking if a woman can have a low sex drive at all, well, yes, so can men. some medicines can make it lower. other times it's mental. but usually, it's just the person.

i turned 34 two months ago, and i know where you're coming from.  i also had a tubal, which i thought was affecting everything from my mood, to my body fluids, and i even stated LOSING weight! (tried before, didnt happen).  maybe it's pre-menopause, at least that's what my ob/gyn tells me;  it could also be hormonal changes other than pms- my doctor told me to start exercising and take b12 supplements. hope you feel better and i hope this helps!

You can't decrease your desire, you will just have to satisfy yourself when she's not willing.\n\nThere are a couple of questions I have though.  Is she perimenopausal?  Or through menopause?  What about hormonal changes as a result of having kids?  \n\nMen do not understand these things.  When we become unable to have children our desire for 'sex' goes down the tubes.  It's hormone related ok?  If she is on any medication, that can be causing side effects that are increasing this issues.\n\nThe best thing she can do is go speak to her doctor and see if there is anything that they are willing to try medicinally that will help her desire.  Remember it's very important that she not feel pressured and that THE VERY BEST WAY to get her 'into the mood' is by meeting her emtoional needs the best you can.\n\nI'll say this over and over.... Men need to 'get' that if a woman is not emotionally satisfied in their marriages, the sex stops.  It's much like a man can't have sex because he can't get it up!  She can't have sex if her emotional needs are not being met, and that is so hard for men to understand.  By nature they are providers and fixers and that kind of thing.. but you need to learn how to be her friend, support her and pamper her and cherish her.  Massage her back, thank her for the fabulous dinner.. spontaneously say you know, I don't tell you enough how thankful I am that you do the laundry all the time and take such good care of me.  I love you for doing that for me.  Those things make women in the mood :)  I wish you the best and that you are able to work it out hun!!

My sex drive has declined slightly over the years (I'm almost 52).  I've been married to the same incredibly beautiful woman for 31 years and we still go at it like teenagers.  No, strike that, no teenager ever had sex as good as we have.\n\nI have to say that the reason is probably looking at you in the mirror every morning.  From talking to my friends, the reason most men lost interest is because their women lost interest.  Keep it up and don't be afraid to experiment.  A recent experiment with my wife and I has had unbelievable benefits.

Generally speaking, nothing too dramatic.  Part of the menstrual cycle is based on the amount of estrogen in your system.  In fact a well known disorder Polycystic Ovarian Disease is partially due to too much estrogen being produced in peripheral tissues in over weight women (ever notice how nice the skin is on overweight women? same reason) not allowing the egg ever to ovulate.  \n\nEstrogen has nothing to do with sex drive, so no effect there.\n\nIf you are older (greater than 45) your risk for certain cancers (breast and ovarian) would be enhanced to some extent, though a recent study result sheds some doubt on that idea (It appears progesterone is the player instead)

Aside from the possible drop in hormone levels which can reduce libido and cause some physical side effects (vaginal dryness, thinning of the vaginal walls, etc... are you having one or two ovaries removed?), there shouldn't be any concern with loss of libido.  In fact, a lot of women after a TL find their libido increases because they no longer need to concern themselves with unplanned pregnancy.  \n\nYou should discuss your concerns with your attending physician and find out why and how many ovaries are being removed, and if there's a need to be concerned in the hormone replacement department.

Don't believe these guys who say women want it less.  I have a high sex drive and I wanted sex a LOT more than my husband did.  To me, two days without sex was two days too long!

Why do you sound so surprised that you are attracted to women in this age group? I dont think it tapers off, it may just become a little less intense. Remember when you were a "young man" and sex was like fireworks all the time, what does it feel like now that you're 44? It's the same for women

No. Many women find the end of their reproductive years sexually invigorating because they no longer face the risk of pregnancy. Plus, regular sexual activity for postmenopausal women improves vaginal lubrication and elasticity after estrogen declines. However, menopause can bring bodily changes that contribute to arousal, and in turn, orgasm problems. Low estrogen levels can cause vaginal dryness, thinning of vaginal tissues, reduced blood flow to the genital area, and reduced vaginal sensitivity that can contribute to arousal and, in turn, orgasm problems. Postmenopausal women often find the arousal phase of the sexual response cycle takes longer, or is less intense.

If she has a lower sex drive because of a condition such as pregnancy then going without sex for a little bit longer won't hurt you.  \n   If you're becoming unhappy in your relationship because of this sex drive difference, then you might want to rethink things before they get any closer to marriage.  You can't turn back once you take the plunge and if she's not pleasing you now, it won't get any better once you're married.\n\nGood luck!!!

Actually, I think mine is a bit higher than normal.  I can't say for sure there's a correlation, but I do know that if you are Insulin resistant, as many PCOSers are, you have higher level of testosterone, which can account for a heightened sex drive.  If it is related, it's one of the lesser symptoms, though.
