The best soulmate and lover I ever experienced, physically, intellectually and emotionally was a Korean born woman adoptee from California and 13 years younger. She was 42, I was 55....it was intense Once we made love 9x in 18 hours. Finally I had to stop from soreness. If you have that connection never let it go whether you're a man or woman.

[@johnwhitneykokalis9990]

Once I started taking testosterone therapy, i was much more sexually active with my wife and we are in are early 60s. She believes that having regular sex life helps out her hormonal and vaginal health. And it is as good as it used to be when she was in her late 20s. When we were not having much sex in our 50s, it was because i was on anti depressants when i should have been on testosterone therapy, which allowed me to get off depression medication and get my sex life back. Intimacy is the best medicine for our mind, body, and soul and also helps to keep the vagina and the penis healthy and lubricated naturally. I have never taken viagra or any other pill to get an erection and have always been able to get erections naturally because my wife turns me on and visa versa.

this is a very interesting discussion that you had here and thankfully, you were able to get it out there. I am curious though why do we want to delay the menopause in a woman isn’t it just a normal chronological thing that happens to women what is the significance or what is the desire on the medical community to want to delay it? That’s my question, since it’s a natural thing to go through isn’t it better to just let it come but be aware of what the symptoms are and then be ahead of those symptoms?

[@Bunstonious]

I almost always go to medical appointments with my wife, sadly, for that same reason.

I suggested it and was almost killed by her for even trying to talk about her health and healthcare. So fast forward 10+/- years and she was mood swinging left and right hot flashes joint pain basically everything on the perimenopause/menapause checklist. We were all walking on eggshells in our house. I finally broke down and demanded she ask for HRT. Her primary would brush her off the “cancer” risk . So she came home with estradiol gel. And gabapentin for hot flashes. And a script for Paxil. Now there’s a whole new set of problems. I said maybe you need testosterone or something. Have you had your like whole set of hormones checked?

It’s just super frustrating bc I already went through female problems when I was 17-22. I just hope it’s not cancer but I honestly just want to feel better. I have every single symptom that you’ve mentioned except my sex drive has done the opposite and now I want sex often for the first time in my life but I’m in so much pain that I don’t want to engage. This is such a frustrating time in my life, I feel like I’m going crazy sometimes and I can’t make decisions for anything bc I can’t think and I’m so lethargic that I don’t even want to leave my house.

As a guy I really appreciate this video, I don't know if I need consent to forward this to a Reddit group it's women in their 30s and their 40s but usually revolves around skin care but I have seen the scare when people talk about hormone replacement or estrogen. Would you mind if I post the link to this video? I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but man it really sucks big pharma has taken over and whatever makes the most money that's what they tell the doctors to prescribe. Happens to men and women but you imagine as a woman you have some depression lack of libido your tired and instead of running in blood work they just describe you an SSRI. Which they do that to men also, then they wonder why people have no more libido because SSRI kills it, you become numb to everything and they consider that a success the doctors do. Is there a plan just to make old men and women miserable? Don't worry we have an antidepressant for that and then everybody becomes one big numb universe?

This doesn’t mean that you go around sleeping with strangers and get a STD or HIV. It means to make decisions and make sure that the person next to you is 💯 to ride or die if not then get someone that will and In the process will love and enjoy the different levels of life with you.

I wonder how many gray divorces can be attributed to this?

[@davidbennett4395]

If you look up the statistics that's the number one cause of divorce in couples over 40.

Tons. A UK Study on Menopause surveyed women and 73% of the women admitted that perimenopause was a factor in the decline of their marriages. How could it not be a huge factor?

The one subject no one likes to discuss (other than me), is life span vs quality life time. Rather see a female die at 70 having had a wonderful crazy fun life from age 30 to 70 (die with a smile, strong, hard body, dancing and enjoying life) than live in a box or a wheelchair but live to 95. Why? Who wants a long boring and unsatisfactory life with someone changing your diapers? Live life, enjoy life. And then check out early and happy. I tell older men the same. Live life, be happy. Don't worry about life span worry about daily life quality.

Totally agree.

[@urbanart7325]

Getting divorced because I want fun even at the age of 68. I hope this next chapter is filled with dance, sex and fun

This was my response to my Gyn when he was discussing "risks" before prescribing my hormones. I said I would rather live to 70 and have quality over living to 90 and being broken. He agreed! The fully thing is, I'll probably live longer because of hormones!

[@markhoffman]

Better to live longer. Ask anyone over 100.

Sexual drive is not a problem and it'll always be there until the end of time and you are ready to go at all times

Good Morning 🌞 Dr. Malik 😊 Honestly, I experienced the Best 😊 Sex 😮over 40! ❤❤❤

Really you must be single!

[@louisjwiese5515]

My experience is that a lot of women become very defensive about this topic. And they would rather blame the husband for wanting too much intimacy and "only thinking about sex" (even if they actually just want intimacy once a week or month). It is rare that a woman would be open to a lot of this. I know a guy who decided that fighting over sex is not worth it. So he started using substances to suppress his own libido. Not surprising at all: his wife was upset because he wasn't showing "interest in her". Anyways, he didn't stop using it, as he knew it would just be the same if he went back to "normal".

Psycho change indeed. My wife is going through paramenapause.... the mood swings are severe. Down right craziness

​@@LadiesofPurposeTVwow dude calls his partner crazy instead of having emotionally intelligence and you point him in the direction of the least efficacious treatment - i hope both of you find better language and research

one of the actor/models was mid twenties, so not the population in question of course, but i realize not enough generic scenes/vid's i realize.
