HuffPost compiled first-person accounts from women describing sex after menopause, framed around clinical context: menopause is reached after 12 months without a period, average age 51, preceded by a perimenopause phase lasting roughly four years. Mayo Clinic's Dr. Stephanie Faubion is quoted saying most women who had a good sex life beforehand can continue to have one afterward.
Midlife sex coach Sonia Wright offered a more upbeat framing, calling postmenopausal sex potentially 'even better than sex in your 20s and 30s.' The piece closes with recommendations to consult a healthcare provider about lubricants, hormone therapy or lifestyle changes, and opens the floor to reader testimonials.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A magazine asking women to describe their sex lives and getting answers that range from candid to promotional is about as surprising as a fisherman describing the one that got away. The clinical facts here are solid, courtesy of an actual doctor, but the quotable optimism from a coach with a website to sell reads like the fish got a little bigger on the way to print. Good information, wrapped in the usual bow.
