Has anyone's libido gone from 0 to 100 all of a sudden?

I'm Perimenopausal and its all I can think about for last few months after years of being uninterested.

Yup, been through it. If you have a willing partner make the most of it and maybe look at different ways of mutual satisfaction and enjoyment without wearing him out too much. If you don't have a partner and DIY isn't enough make sure you play safe and have fun.

It does settle eventually 😀

How long does it take to settle in your experience? I'm wondering if this is years/months!

Yes, happened to me. Went sex mad at 45 (a few months after my periods stopped) and was like it a good 18 months before it started to settle. I’m 52 now and still more sexual than I was. I don’t think it happens to many women!

We’re all different - I’m guessing for me it was up to a year. It can be really strange and confusing when it happens. However that’s part and parcel of menopause with some women going the other way and losing interest entirely. The good news is wherever you are, and however horny you’re feeling, it can be hidden well - just don’t let it get you into any trouble!
