Do you still fancy/crush/lust after menopause

This is just a general question. After speaking with my friend who is 60, she said that it is very very rare she finds any men fanciable since hitting late 50s. She’s married so she still wants her husband in that way but she said if they divorced, she wouldn’t be bothered about another man cause she doesn’t get those ‘crushy-type’ feelings now. Plus most men want younger and she’s not attracted to men 10 years plus of her age.

im younger than her, a lot younger but I can’t imagine never feeling that spark you get from mutual attraction. If you’re around this age, did you find after the menopause you stopped having these types of feelings for men?

Adding to my earlier post - still having an active sex life with DH. I'm a bit more tired than I used to be, but as we are both able to work at home, we can schedule in 'appointments' 😊

@MistletoeHolly - don’t know if you’re checking this thread but I would say my libido increased after menopause (which I finished around age 50, quite young). I still find men attractive. I love not having to think about contraception. It’s so liberating.

@Dery if you don't mind me asking, are you on any HRT? And do you need to use anything topical?

Same as @Dery . I have some Sylk but only use it occasionally. No HRT or creams.
