I Could No Longer Achieve Orgasm, and Menopause Was to Blame
Could hormone replacement therapy help me?
About a month ago, my husband and I were in bed, and he was doing all the things he usually did to turn me on. But try as I might, I just didn’t feel aroused by it.
My libido had been flagging for about a year. In fact, sex had become a whole lot less satisfying ever since I went through menopause a couple of years earlier.
Little by little, I had more and more trouble lubricating naturally. We started to use a sexual lubricant, but then, sometimes, I also experienced pain during penetration.
I opted for a vibrator to help me relax and ultimately arouse me enough to come. For the most part, the vibrator did the trick.
Until it didn’t.
Now, not even the vibrator wasn’t working anymore. And worse, once my husband penetrated me, I couldn’t achieve climax for the life of me.
That night, we tried for what felt like forty-five minutes to get me over the edge. I just couldn’t get there.
The same thing happened the following night. Was this my new normal?
I knew what was to blame: menopause.
