Enemas and Menopause Question for the Ladies ...

Hi - Over the years I have been amazingly blessed with connecting with awesome female e-partners located in various locations in the US and Australia. Several of these relationships are 20+ years.

"We" were in our 30's and early 40's at the time and now are mid 50's + and I am almost categorically losing my e-mates due to the affects of menopause and a unexpected lack of desire?

Will this pass or is it game over?

All insight would be wonderful!

Being mid 40's and just getting started with the menopause experience I am hoping that the "game isn't over". Though I do notice there can be a few days where I lack interest at all. But that doesn't last very long and even sometimes the day when I do have an interest make up for it. Will be watching what others have to say on their experiences.

I started menopause early, at age 43. I lost the desire for any kind of physical relationship and remained abstinent for 8 years. I don't think that was necessarily due to menopause but more because of a very bad relationship and other stressors. I have to say that now that menopause is mostly over and done with, I am back in the saddle again, and better than ever.

I wouldn't say it's game over, more like on pause. It's hard for a woman to feel sexy when her hormones are in an uproar, she has hot flashes, night sweats and she feels mentally deranged and ready to eat her young. I hear that as women pass through this period of time and come out on the other side, sexual relationships can be even better than before, I know that's been true for me.

Somebody of you ladies, did you take advantage and do some hormonal therapy for help and alleviate the effect of menopause?

Many women said to me that was useful, but some doc instead says to be prudent regard it.

Thanks for the replies ... it helps me to understand and not give up hope that my partners are out of the scene forever!

Choose your hormone therapy carefully.

You may feel better with it, but there is also the increased risk of some cancers.

I'm 51 and still having my period on a very regular basis. While there are times when having it is less than convenient I've been having one for so long I'm not sure that I will be ready for the time when I won't have one. I've talked with my ob/gyn about HRT and am not sure yet what I'll do.

Wife used to take enemas regularly and she never admitted to the sexual pleasure it provided' same for douching. She was always more receptive to love making after an enema or douche. Now that she has been menopausal, there are no more enemas and douches and no encouragement for sexual relations. Guys, savor the sex you get when your partner is younger.
