Menopause can affect a woman's sex life. However, by modifying your life and attitudes about sexual desire, you can change things sometimes surprisingly for the better, although you are getting older. Here’s what you can do to keep your sex life as hot as ever.
1. Use a lube: Vaginal dryness is one of the harsh realities of sex after menopause. Lubrication is vital for a comfortable sex life. The water-based lubricants can enhance sexual pleasure apart from making it comfortable.
2. Try estrogen creams or therapies: Declining estrogen levels leading to thinning of the menstrual walls is one of the biggest issues of sex after menopause. The thinning of the vaginal walls in combination with vaginal dryness can make sex very painful. It is best that you talk to your doctor about estrogen creams and therapies.
3. Do kegels: Your sex drive can suffer if you are not in the best of your mental and emotional health. So make sure that you exercise regularly to improve your health and amp up your libido. Toning your pelvic floor muscles by doing kegels can also help reduce the risk of pain during sex. Here are 3 reasons every woman should do kegel exercise.
4. Practise squats: Not only do squats tone your pelvic floor muscles but it increases your heart rate, releases endorphins, improves blood circulation and in turn improves your body image which is great for arousal.
5. Read an erotic sex story: Reading an erotic sex story with your partner can allow you to have an intimate conversation with your partner about your fantasies and desires. It will also bring the two of you closer. Here are 3 things you should do after having sex without a condom.
6. Get your partner to touch, hug, kiss and massage you: While a woman’s sex drive takes a dip right after childbirth, her sensuality can still be revived. In fact, gentle touches and physical comforts can go a long way in helping you gain some energy and think of the world beyond your age. Just get your partner to make you feel sensual with his touch and actions. Get him to give you gentle massages with lots of cuddles and kisses.
