Here’s a survey of some of the most common problems and strategies to help make sex during this life phase more comfortable and rewarding. On the flip side, the golden-years myth is heavily promoted by TV ads for erection drugs, which portray the “Cialis woman” always blissfully ready for intercourse whenever her partner drops a pill.įortunately, women’s health advocates, sexologists, and researchers vigorously question these equally unrealistic projections for sexuality and aging - of a bleak sexual desert or a pharmaceutical Niagra - and have identified numerous helpful strategies for maintaining and enhancing sexuality after menopause. So, if you ask your doctor about sex after menopause, she or he will likely agree that the outlook is gloomy. Taken from the March/April 2009 issue of the Women's Health Activist Newsletter.
