Hi,
My question is about what happens to a woman's sex drive when she goes through menopause and after menopause.
My wife, in her early 40's, is talking about the doom of menopause. She tells me about how she will not get as wet and how her desire for sex will diminish. She paints a picture of a sexless marriage after menopause.
She is already LD, so if her sex drive does go down it will probably turn into a sexless marriage. I feel scared.
I should mention that is is dead set against any hormone therapy. She is pretty much against any long term use drugs (i.e. take X for the rest of your life).
Although it is a ways off in the future, I feel saddened when she tells me this. She seems is preparing me ahead of time to be pushed away. I sense a bit of fear when she tells me about this as well.
I don't know what to tell her, as I know very little about menopause. And I don't know what menopause will be like without any help from a doctor to prescribe something to make the experience less painful.
If I knew more, perhaps I could talk to her about it and take away some of her fears. As it is, all I can do is tell her I will be there for her.
So, any information about menopause, sex drive, and how I can help her would be appreciated.
