And we tend to compare the bodies and the experiences of women in our middle age to those that are in their early 20s. And so we get that social and cultural messaging, but also as moving toward menopause. So

For those of us who are going that perimenopause, menopausal area that our bodies are going to change. So we're going to be having more problems because our estrogen levels are going down. We're going to be getting hair in crazy places, hot flashes. And so sex is just going to be uncomfortable. So the reality is, yes, bodies are changing.

So yes, as we get closer to perimenopause and menopause, yes, estrogen does go down. Yes, we will see those changes with the vagina just due to those hormonal changes.

Actually, sex for women tends to get better as we age simply because we're more experienced and we know our bodies better and we know what our bodies need and we know what we want and we know what we desire.

We're starting to find ways to adjust with our changing mobility. So sex is not dying. It's just changing and looking different.
