Thought the menopause destroys libido? It can actually do the opposite - Why so many women are succumbing to late life lust

Just read this article which is quite good. What surprises me is the mention from female consultant gynaecologist Claudine Domoney, I was beginning to think all gynaecologists were men. smile

She's right in my book, it hasn't destroyed mine. Im just older and wiser about my choices. Will choose quality over quantity these days. Or if you're in a relationship then you probably didn't want to have sex with him anymore anyway. The menopause just says you can't reproduce and rightly so. It has nothing to do with libido which is 75% in the mind.
