More than half of US women aged 35 and over are having less sex during the menopause than before. In addition, 76% of those in a committed or long-term relationship said that sex was an important part of their relationship, yet just 45% were satisfied with the amount of sex they have.
“Women today, specifically the boomer generation currently entering or experiencing menopause, are much more open about their needs and seek information more than previous generations, so it’s surprising to me that so many women would settle for a less than satisfying sex life as a result of menopausal symptoms,” said Karen Giblin, founder of the Red Hot Mamas Menopause Management Educational Programs.
