I will answer your question.
I stopped having sex at age 65. That was not my wish and I am very sad about it because I loved sex and our sexual connection and we stopped solely because of my beloved late husband's terminal illness. The last time was frightening, I remember it well because he struggled to breathe. That was the last time we had sex but I don't think it will be the last time I will have sex.
I'm now late sixties and a widow. My libido and physical and emotional need for closeness remains, and I hope to have more sex in the future, sometime, with someone I feel love for, or at least strongly attracted to and like. Unfortunately by then I might be too old and no-one would desire me. Which is a sad thought.
Sex isn't just for the young. It is life enhancing and has many benefits both physical and emotional. It is part of being human and alive. I understand that not everyone feels like sex at every (or any) stage in life, but it's simply not true that women's desire and appetite for sex and simple human connection evaporates at the menopause. For many women it continues till they die. I know that for a fact as my mum used to masturbate long into old age. Discovering a vibrator in her bedside cabinet told me that, as well as her occasional confidences about her old friend: 'Sometimes I still invite him into my bed'. She was in her 80's.
That gives me hope, and I hope this post gives hope to other women who enjoy life-enhancing sexual connection. If sex matters to you, and there is no man in your life at the moment, it's worth keeping your vaginal tissues supple and healthy with Vagifem/ vibrators / dildos / hrt / testosterone - you never know when your circumstances might change and you might be surprised by an unexpected surge in your libido. Widow's fire, anyone? Or the right man who knows what he's doing - lifechanging.
