MENOPAUSE FACTORS: CHANGES IN LIBIDO (SEXUAL DESIRE)
Some women report an increase in libido at this time, others that it has declined. This is an area in which accurate details are hard to tabulate. So many factors are involved; compatibility with one’s partner; good health in both; depression, which affects libido the most; and medications such as some antidepressant drugs, antihypertensive drugs and alcohol.
On the positive side, with no fear of pregnancy, more time on their hands and lack of distraction from constantly present young, libido may increase and sexual experience may have a widening place in people’s lives.
As people grow older, with increased business cares and tiredness, there may be a decrease in sexual activity. On the other hand, some people, in a frantic attempt to relive their youth before it is entirely lost, look elsewhere and, in some cases, take off permanently with a younger partner. To be aware of this is an important factor in managing this time of your life.
However, in the vast majority of people that I see, both partners want the company of people of their own age group, who are alert and in good health.
