Your libido in menopause...

It disappears. It flares. It goes quiet. It comes back louder than ever. And sometimes it makes absolutely no sense.

In this episode of Menopause Love Lounge, six women get radically honest about menopause libido loss, low desire, fluctuating arousal, and the emotional, relational, and hormonal layers underneath it all. From complete disinterest in sex to being hornier than ever, we talk about what’s actually happening in midlife bodies—without shame, fixing, or pretending there’s one right way to want sex.

We talk about:

  • Menopause, libido loss and genuine disinterest in sex
  • When sex feels irrelevant, exhausting, or emotionally loaded
  • Painful sex, vaginal dryness, and “razor blades” sensations
  • Hormones, HRT, testosterone, and non-hormonal approaches
  • Nervous system depletion, trauma history, and emotional fatigue
  • Desire vs. connection vs. obligation in long-term relationships
  • Orgasms, vibrators, toys, erotica, porn, and telling the truth about pleasure
  • Shame around not orgasming with a partner
  • Why feeling seen matters more than sex for many women
  • How safety, rest, and emotional resourcing impact desire
  • Why menopause is sometimes called a “second spring”—and why it often doesn’t feel like one

This episode isn’t about convincing you to want sex—or resigning yourself to never wanting it again. It’s about naming the full spectrum of midlife sexuality and letting your experience be valid, complex, and allowed to change.

If your libido feels gone, confusing, inconsistent, or totally different than it used to be—you’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not the only one.
