MENOPAUSE ? Why do women stop having sex ?

Question

Is it forever ?

Answer 1

because it gets boring, & if she wont communicate 2 u what she wants, then she is unhappy &it is easier just 2 not bother than 2 have 2 fake it goin thru the motions. then she gets unhappy. i think that is why there r so many divorces after 20+ yrs of marriage. they have not talked & then she is 2 embarrassed 2 start.

Answer 2

Menopause is the end of menstruation. The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly, and pausis, meaning cessation. Menopause is part of a woman’s natural aging process when her ovaries produce lower levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone and when she is no longer able to become pregnant.

Unlike a woman’s first menstruation, which starts on a single day, the changes leading up to menopause happen over several years. The average age for menopause is 52. But menopause commonly happens anytime between the ages of 42 and 56.

A woman can say she has begun her menopause when she has not had a period for a full year.

Perimenopause’ refers to the several years before menopause when a woman may begin experiencing the first signs of her menopausal transition. But many people use the term ‘menopause’ for both the perimenopausal years as well as the few years following menopause.

weight gain;
hot flashes;
insomnia;
night sweats;
vaginal dryness;
joint pain;
fatigue;
short-term memory problems;
bowel upset;
dry eyes;
itchy skin;
mood swings; and
urinary tract infections.
Most of the time, these symptoms will lessen or go away after a woman has finished menopause.

Hey there menopause is really not why woman stop having sex,some woman don't feel any libido for a while but it is not forever,just be patient and you will see how your woman is after a while just let her deal with it or just sit down and talk with her about it, to understand why it is happening maybe it is not her menopause that is doing that ,it could be a lack of something missing beetween you and her,you should ask.

Just to let you that i am in my menopause right now and it's been for12 years now cause i had a complete hysterectomy and i do not have any problem beacause i started menopause early,the only reason that i think woman stop having sex it is because there is something wrong with her partner,cause by my experience that's what happen to me once the problem wasn't me it was him and just to let you that i am more craving for sex now than before my menopause started.

Just try to speak with your woman with this problem you think she have or ask her what it is that it's not like it use to be with her in bed and maybe you question will be answer.i wish you luck and hope that the problem will not last any longer.From bizcatblue.

You know what?... I don't know why "they" do, but I can't imagine it. At 40, the older I get, I'm ready to do "the damn thing" all the time. I think I'm going to have to trade my 36 yr old guy in for at least a 30 yr. old! I think more than the effects of menopause, it's adjusting to body changes. Around this time, the body doesn't look like it used to and clothes don't fit or look the same on this "different" body - especially lingerie. When you lay down, things "fall" that didn't used to. Confidence is always a key factor in good and frequent sex for anyone. As a persons self-image gets better or worse, directly corresponds with sex drive.

Answer 5

Hmmm... menopause is hormones turned inside out, so to speak. Work on the mind issues. For women sex is loving, as opposed to men, where loving is sex... Work on the love, the affective, find out her love language and really talk. ;) Usually the older a woman gets the more sex she will want, it's a kind of reassurance for them that they are loved even though this aging process seems to unravel faster and faster....
Get some counseling on rekindling that fire, and really work on it, you won't be sorry!
There's lots of things that turn women on and men have no idea about. Aside from the flowers and the romantic dinner... doing things together, being helped in the kitchen, taking out the garbage w/out being asked, like when you tell her, "hon, I'll do the dishes, you rest."... and so on. Being comfortable physically is crucial, and menopause is a big mess for a woman... sometimes drugs do help, but most of the time you have to work on the state of mind... Mood swings, I know, it's scary... but for some women if they can "face the devil" it's easier to beat it. Believe me it's scarier having them, than seeing someone act out their mood swings. Depression... that will definitely put a damper on things, sexually. You have to lend a listening ear, and get to the core of the problem. There's no easy answer, but when you work on this, you'll get rewarded with the outcome. The best you can do for yourself is get educated on this issue.

Answer 6

Although there is a good chance that this is a thinly veiled attempt of yours to discuss a very private female subject because you are horny, I think I'll give it a whirl. During menopause, the body starts to dry up,somewhat...sex is painful,sometimes not possible. Add that to mood swings which can be as emotionally painful for the woman as much as they are for those around her. I remember the onset of menopause for me. I realized the dryness of my body and I cried often. I think it really hit me the day my beloved little canine daughter ran past me to welcome my husband home.(We had both come in,together. ) I was devasted! Here's the good ending to my epistle...my doctor got me on hormones...it tood a while to get it just right. When they kicked in, I was at a gym. I came home as quickly as I could. My husband was asleep. I gently said to him: "Remember that problem I've been having?" He mumbled , "uh huh." I said,"It's gone now!" He replied,"okay, give me a minute."

Answer 7

They don't stop having sex, but there can be a drop in libido during hormonal changes. No, it is not 'forever'! It should straighten out once the menopause phase is complete.

Answer 8

no its no forever, but when women go through menopause, sometimes they lose some sexual drive. of the women i know who have gone through it, they say that for awhile they dont feel like a whole woman anymore because they can no longer have kids

Answer 9

Since I hit my 40s, my sex drive has shot into overdrive...what to do with all this passion?!! I hope I don't lose it after menopause. This must be very difficult for you to deal with.

Answer 10
