Having sex again at 61!

Having sex again at 61!

I lost my husband a year and a half ago and was so much in grief I didn't even think of sex, I had gained weight, wasn't able to exercise because of a back injury. But I started in the last couple of months to want sex again.

I had recently seen my doctor I had vaginal burning and pain, he was unable to insert a regular sized speculum it hurt so bad I cried, but I also said, here I am, old and now I'll never be able to have sex again!!! I insisted on being started on vagi fem tabs and noticed I was getting lubrication back.

Then a man 30 years younger than me said he was attracted to me, I was blown away I couldn't believe it, we had sex the first time and it did hurt but was phenomenal, all my sex drive has returned, the second time was better though it is still somewhat uncomfortable but not enough to stop!

I write this for women like me who are are dealing with post menopausal vaginal atrophy (get estring or vagifem tabs) and to women like my some of my friends who are married and absolutely dread and hate sex both because of lack of desire and pain.

 I think it is really true that we have to use it or lose it, I was amazed that after just a year and a half, I was literally drying up.

I've also noticed that some doctors don't seem to care if you are an older woman, like why do you care about having sex anyway? I am now looking at a women's clinic that uses bioidenticals.

There is hope for us maybe not the same as it was but it can be just as fulfilling.

Best to you all.
