Most people believe that post-menopausal women have problems with sex.
These difficulties may include lack of lubrication, difficulty in attaining orgasm, and low libido. Surprisingly, a recent study indicates that post-menopausal women may actually find sex more enjoyable than previously. The study consisted of a telephone survey of 1,000 women aged 50 to 65. About 900 of the women had already passed menopause, and about half of the women were on hormone replacement therapy. Many women surveyed believed it was due to less childrearing responsibilities and less fear of unintended pregnancy.
