I don’t think this is a very good time in history for women to grow old. We’re surrounded by media messages saying you can have great sex after menopause, into your 60s, your 70s, your 80s! (The mag articles almost always features an older woman with ‘my much-younger lover’.)
So they’re holding out this enticement about having great sex, but the older I get, the less able I am to find romantic partners. The men I meet are either married, or want to be with someone younger.
Assuming I do find a partner, sex is actually difficult b/c i’m going thru menopause. I’m bleeding all the time. And when mnps is done, sex without RX creams will be problematic, and just not as fun anymore.
And yet we’re surrounded by those damn media messages about how great it can be!
It’s like being lactose-intolerant and living in a Baskin Robbins.
I wish our culture would just say it’s ok to go with the natural flow of things and not want sex anymore, and quit trying so hard.
And don’t even get me started on the artificially extended sex lives of men, with Viagra.
