Do not let Menopause change your sex life!
It is true, that as we age our bodies change and those changes are not always welcome, particularly when it comes to our sex life. We all have changes that may interfere with a happy and fulfilling sex life, but we can still have a great sexual and healthy sex life once we hit menopause.
It is possible that you may have noticed that menopause can result in sex being painful or it takes longer to achieve an orgasm. You are dryer than you once were and or your interest in sex is not as what it used to be because of decreased sensitivity.
The good news is that there are tons of tools to supplement these challenges so that postmenopausal women can enjoy a healthy and vigorous sex life and it is easy to incorporate these tools into your day-to-day life.
Exercise helps keep our bodies healthy, balances our moods and lowers our stress level. Lowering stress is important as it can impact a great sex life.
Make sure you set time aside for sex and be intentional about pleasuring your body. Give yourself the reward of time. You deserve to take this time to enjoy and explore your body for yourself and to enjoy foreplay either on your own or with a partner.
Enhance your sexual play time with a lubricant. A lubricant is not just for vaginal dryness, it cuts down on friction and provides all-around better sex, no matter your age or stage in life.
The most versatile lubricants are water-based lubes which are great for all activities, including for masturbation and sex toys. A silicone-based lube is like silk sheets on those specific areas and one of my favorites. It is hypoallergenic and lasts longer. Over the last couple of years, a number of companies have introduced natural lubricants so you can understand what ingredients you are putting on your body.
Toys, toys, toys! There are tons of great sex toys that are specifically marketed for women going through menopause. Toys that help stimulate nerve endings and increase wetness like clitoral stimulators. Suction toys and Rabbits are excellent for direct clitoral stimulation. Wands are wonderful for overall vulva stimulation. Check out www.bloomsexually.com
One of the most important aspects, is attitude. Sexual health and wellness, exercise and positive mindset are important for our minds and bodies as we move through this stage of our life. A great sex life is hard to beat and should be part of your weekly routine, for your relationship and for yourself.
