The physiological aspect of sex during menopause
Sexual life of a woman at different ageshas different manifestations. In youth, as a rule, there is an irresistible desire for intimacy. At this point, a woman has already menstruated, which means that every month her body is preparing for conception. The desire to have sex from a physiological point of view is determined by this factor. Accordingly, libido (the level of sexual desire) is at its peak, and ideally there should be no problems with the production of female sex hormones. However, the closer menopause is, the less hormones are produced, and soon you will have to forget about ovulation altogether. At the same time, libido begins to decrease. These processes are irreversible. Can we say that menopause is the end of a woman's sex life? Not at all. Of course, what you wanted so much in your youth, you can hardly want again after menopause. However, not everything is so sad. Gynecologists claim that it is possible and necessary to have sex during menopause, since it is still important for a woman's health, as well as for her psychological mood. Some physiological problems can be solved quite successfully. For example, a lack of hormones can be compensated for with the help of special hormone replacement therapy. It is prescribed by a gynecologist after conducting special tests and taking into account the general condition of the body. By the way, such therapy is important not only for a woman's sexual life, but also for her health in general, because with the onset of menopause, the body begins to gradually wither. It is not for nothing that they say that after menopause a whole host of diseases appears. All this is associated with hormones. Another problem lies directly in the woman's body. With age, the vaginal mucosa stops producing a special lubricant, which is so necessary during sexual intercourse. This causes unpleasant sensations and sometimes even pain during sex. This picture is complemented by the fact that the vagina itself becomes narrower and shorter, but at the same time its walls lose elasticity and firmness. This is not a death sentence. You can restore the elasticity of the vagina with the help of special gymnastics of the muscles of the reproductive system. This significantly increases the elasticity and tone of the vagina. And if the amount of lubrication is not as before, then you can quite successfully use special lubricants. This is an artificial lubricant that will help overcome the problem of vaginal dryness.
The psychological aspect of sex during menopause
Having sex for a woman at any ageis closely intertwined with the psychological aspect. This is a rather complex issue, so it is very difficult to consider it within the framework of one material. But the general points can be outlined today. For example, what is a woman's sexuality, what does it consist of? It turns out that for this it is extremely important to feel confident, attractive and sexy. To put it simply, this characteristic is born in a woman's head, it is something among magnetism. If a woman is confident in herself, then she broadcasts her confidence to her surroundings, thereby she gives a reason to consider her personality attractive and sexy. What happens with age? A representative of the fair sex sees that her body is gradually changing shape, outlines. This does not mean at all that it is getting worse. Only her noticeable fat on the stomach or skin that has lost some elasticity - all this can significantly reduce her desire to have sex. A woman simply stops feeling sexy and attractive. Therefore, it is so important to maintain this internal feeling in yourself, not to lose the woman inside you, continue to monitor your appearance. Let your wardrobe be filled with beautiful and elegant things. They don't necessarily have to be expensive. But still, you can afford a couple of chic things at this age.
What should I do to want to have sex after menopause?
Some ways to maintain your libidohas already been said before. So, the doctor will write a prescription for hormones, beautiful things and self-care will also do their job. But these are far from all the methods to want and be able to have sex after menopause. It must be said that physical activity is of great importance in this matter. Yes, it is precisely this that can increase not only libido, but also the overall tone of the body. And in this case, there is certainly no shortage of good mood. Let it be a type of physical activity that will help you get the load in a moderate dose. Yoga, Pilates, water aerobics, step aerobics, swimming, shaping are great. But this does not prevent a woman from taking something to her taste. In addition to this, you can go jogging in the morning. Their benefits are invaluable for the whole body. Cycling is another way to get in great shape and for a high libido. Diet - is also an important component of the lifestyle of a woman who has already reached menopause. If you follow it constantly, you will want to make love and do it with pleasure. What is especially pleasing is that in this case the word diet does not imply very strict prohibitions. To be more precise, it is simply a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating. It is necessary to exclude the following products from your diet: alcohol, fried foods, flour products, confectionery, smoked foods, fast food. Daily nutrition should not consist of these products. Only in very rare cases can you treat yourself to something forbidden. After all, life is given for pleasure, but at the same time it should not consist of only pleasures. As for preferred products, these include various fruits, vegetables, cereals, lean meats, seafood. It is very important to consume a sufficient amount of vitamin C, A and E. And, of course, do not forget about water. Regular drinking water keeps the body in good shape. But you will have to forget about such a bad habit as smoking. Nicotine is detrimental to both male and female libido. And there is no need to even mention the harm to health.
Other important aspects
Of great importance for maintaining an activesexual life for every woman is determined by the relationship she currently has with her partner. It is very important that there is trust and mutual understanding between them. If the partners are the same age, then they can find good and, most importantly, very effective support in each other. They can discuss how their sexual life has changed and what can be done to ensure that it continues to bring pleasure for a long time. It is worth repeating that it is very important to have a trusting relationship for this. Partners should show each other that their loved one is still attractive and desirable to them, and no less than 20 or 30 years ago. On the contrary, you need to use this time when you finally have the opportunity to devote time to yourself. Career is gradually fading into the background, children have long grown up. So why not breathe fresh air not only into your relationship, but also into the sphere of intimacy. Another piece of advice: do not neglect the entourage, which is closely connected with romance. In adulthood, you will hardly want spontaneous sex without the appropriate setting. Let there be candles, instrumental music, beautiful lace lingerie on a woman, rose petals on a silk bed. In a word, everything that sets you in a romantic and abstract mood. We can make a very obvious conclusion: sex and menopause are compatible. Moreover, we can safely say that menopause is not a reason to refuse to have sex. Sex should bring pleasure at this age. You just need to adequately assess some changes in your body, learn to accept them and yourself. It remains only to wish all women who have entered a new stage of their path, learn to enjoy every day, appreciate everything that fate gives, and not deny themselves pleasures, but lead a rich and joyful life. And let menopause not become an obstacle!
