For whatever reason, too many menopausal women are embarrassed by their sexual desires and need encouragement to ask questions and discuss sexual problems openly. Studies have shown that women, like men, remain interested in sexual activity, even at older ages, and even in nursing homes. Throughout a woman's lifetime, sexual feeling and fantasies are normal. Some women suffer greatly when their partner is impotent or gone. For many women, intercourse remains an important quality of life issue and for some, masturbation is a natural act, a method by which they can achieve sexual satisfaction, whether or not they have a partner.
Every woman is different and has different needs and desires.
I just don't have any interest in anything any more, not even sex. I'm so tired all the time and have appetite and weight changes. Menopause need not be a time for loss of interest in things that gave you pleasure before. Sleep problems, for many reasons, can also affect mood. So it is important to put these issues before your healthcare provider to try to help maximize the golden years.
