After menopause, you can still have sex, you know. Note the ways
Menopause occurs when you have not had a period for 1 year. The transitional years before that, are often marked by various symptoms such as sleep problems, hot flashes, and irregular periods, otherwise known as perimenopause.
Another thing that makes many women even more anxious about menopause is that it is said to affect the way they experience sex and sexual desire (decreased sex drive is a common symptom of perimenopause). Even though regular and healthy sex is good for physical health and emotional intimacy.
So, the information that you will not be able to orgasm after menopause is completely false. Great orgasms and sex are still very possible.
Here are tips to still be able to orgasm even after menopause:
Ready with lubricant
It is very common for a woman to experience vaginal dryness during and after the menopausal transition. When levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body decrease, the vagina will produce less lubricating fluid, even when you are passionate. This lack of natural lubricating fluid can make penile penetration uncomfortable, to the point of being painful. It's time for you to add to your collection of thick friends in the room.
Choose a lubricant that is suitable and does not cause irritation or allergies to the skin. Besides being able to expedite the penis in action, lubricants can also help reduce friction when you have sex with direct stimulation of the clitoris.
Do direct stimulation
During the menopausal transition, blood flow to the vagina and clitoris is reduced. If you normally need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, well, the resulting decreased sensitivity can make orgasm more difficult to achieve. But, more difficult does not mean impossible. Try a new approach.
Start by touching, rubbing, or stroking the skin in sensitive areas such as the thighs, stomach, neck, and breasts. Lubricants, as we mentioned above, are useful for making a difference because they minimize friction thereby increasing your enjoyment.
Take time to kiss and touch each other
Hormonal changes can also mean it takes longer for you to get aroused or in the mood for sex. Try it, spend more time kissing each other, making out, and touching. Slightly lingering erotic games and non-physical intimacy will not only increase your arousal but also help you feel more connected. Do this:
• take turns giving sensual massages
• take a bath together (bath or under the shower). Start by soaping each other
• talk 'dirty'. Do you remember those newlywed days when both of your minds were full of naughty (and lewd) ideas? While still shy about talking about sex and his friends. Relive those times.
Try to keep the room temperature cool
Turn on the air conditioner or place a fan in the corner of the room. You can also prepare glasses and bottles of cold water to keep you hydrated throughout the day. If your body is hydrated, you will remain calm and less easily agitated, especially when things are 'heating up' between the two of you.
You can also use ice cubes to enliven the atmosphere. The cooling sensation throughout the body can increase arousal for some people.
