Sex in peri

[SwordToFlamethrower]

I'm 47 and dh is 39.

I read a lot on here about how women go completely off sex in peri.

I have PCOS and always enjoyed a high/good sex drive. In all my relationships, I've had a higher drive than my partner in fact.

I've been dreading peri because I hated the thought of having problems or going off sex.

However even with a 21 month old, I'm still experiencing the same drives as in my 20s and 30s. I love sex and crave it. I was absolutely insatiable during my pregnancies and wanting to get back on it as soon as I was physically able to after giving birth, nearly 2 years ago.

Am I an anomaly? Am I different? Is it the PCOS or some other reason?

I'm also AuDHD if that means anything.

Peri and I’ve always had a high sex drive. Loads of women like me. I think what it is really is that by the time most women are on peri, they just can’t stand their husbands anymore! As they’ve been together so long.

Definitely not just you! I'm 50 and in peri and seem to have 'hormonal surges' and practically jump on my husband!!! Other times, it's all a bit more laid back! 🤣

I might be unwelcome on this thread as a man, so feel free to bugger off, but I've just mentioned the thread to DP and she's asked to share this.

Perimenopause has unlocked DP's ability to orgasm at the age of 42. She's never been able to get over the line before, despite trying absolutely everything, as a result sex has always been an enjoyable but ultimately frustrating experience for her.

She so far it definately makes up for the less pleasant side effects, she'll take hot flushes and orgasms over the absence of either.

FOr my part, I'm just desperately trying to keep up

52 here and still want to have sex. Been single for over 10 years and I've been okay for most of it as very busy looking after elderly parents. They've gone now and I am trying to lose weight and get myself looking better.

Very annoying having these urges with no partner to use them on. My sex drive seemed to be higher from 35 onwards than it was before that. I got divorced at 35 and so I am guessing it's connected.

Get through a fair bit of batteries.

Worse I am on medication which should be killing my sex drive but nope.

I wish it would fuck off. It's really annoying me.

Mind you last ex bar one complained 'I always wanted sex' - we saw each other twice a week and yes I did want to have sex. I was kind of shocked he thought twice a week was such a burden. He was early forties.

Ex after him had a much higher drive and I have to admit he would have been useful to have around. Unfortunately is married now so no chance of using him for FWB.

If this is what men have to go through their entire lives I have new found sympathy for them. It is really distracting.

My drive gets stronger with every decade, I wasn’t bothered in teens and 20s. For me the 40s are the best so far
Enjoy!!

How is 47 a hag?
Would you think the same if the sexes were reversed?
