Do not stress out if your sexual response is lagging lately. As you hit menopause, you produce less testosterone and estrogen which lead to reduced frequency of orgasms. But sex doesn’t have an expiry date. Sexologist Dr Vinod Gupta tells how you can have a great sex life and have more frequent orgasms as you hit menopause.
Experiment with a vibrator: As you hit menopause, you need some extra stimulation to reach orgasm. And a vibrator can give a direct stimulation of the clitoris. The vibrators are designed to enhance sensation and can offer you a great sexual experience.
Talk it out: As you hit menopause, your sexual needs also change. If your partner uses the same technique always to get you aroused, you may not get what you need. So it is best that you talk about your desires with your partner so that he can help you hit climax.
Use a lube: Vaginal dryness is one of the realities of sex during menopause. Using a good lubricant can make sex more comfortable and thus help you reach orgasm faster. Lubricants can provide you with a smooth, slick feeling which is not sticky.
Do a lot of foreplay: And while you may face a decreased sex drive altogether, make sure that you and your partner indulge in a lot of foreplay. Your need for intimacy may also increase so your foreplay should start with holding hands, gentle kisses and pats on the back and butt.
Exercise regularly: Exercise is the best way to amp up your sex life. If you are not healthy physically or emotionally your sex drive will indeed suffer. Regular exercise along with a healthy diet is key to a good sex life.
Consult a doctor: The declining estrogen levels during menopause can lead to thinning of vaginal walls which can make sex painful and orgasm almost impossible. So it is best that you consult your doctor for estrogen creams and therapies.
