The answer to seeing if you and your girlfriend are a perfect match for each other is not in sleeping with others, but in making the decision to spend enough time with each other to see if these three areas can develop into the kind of complete love that will go the distance for both of you. Q. My doctor told me that I'm in menopause. I've noticed over the last year that I have been losing interest in sex. My neighbor said she heard that some women lose interest in sex when they get into menopause. Yes, your neighbor is correct.
Some women do lose interest in sex then.
There are currently millions of women who are now menopausal, and it is estimated that by the year 2000, there will be 50 million women in menopause. As they approach that time in their lives, some women will begin to experience symptoms such as decreased sexual desire and interest. A recent survey done in 1998 by Dr. Philip Sarrell, professor of obstetrics, gynecology and psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine, discussed the possibility that this lack of interest may be because of a decreased level of testosterone or androgen. This is the hormone produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands that is responsible for sexuality. It did, however, assist with hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness.
