Most of us, by the time we hit midlife, will have been having sex for decades. We might not have really focused on our sexual selves, though, until things start to change – which can often happen around this time, as perimenopause kicks in.
Perimenopause – the time leading up to menopause, when our reproductive hormones go on a bit of a rollercoaster ride and cause a range of mental and physical symptoms for many of us – can affect our sex lives, too. We might suddenly feel a loss of desire and libido. Sex can start to feel uncomfortable or even hurt. These things can come as a surprise; there can be an accompanying sense of grief or loss.
But menopause does not mean the end of our sex lives. It might, instead, be a whole new era – we may just need to make some tweaks,
