Libido can be affected due to numerous things during menopause. One is the physical changes you experience which could impact your will and comfort during intimacy. Hot flashes, sweating, fluctuations in weight can all affect. For this discussing how you feel with your partner can help understand how he can make the experience better for you. Reduction in libido can also be the result of declining hormones. But if you still desire intimacy scheduling some time for it helps rather than just going with the flow. This can help you understand how your body feels during this transition to menopause.

Is oral sex possible during periods?? My boyfriend wants to try it out
If you both are comfortable, then go for it! However, consider going for a dental dam as infection during menstruation is high! You can consider using a menstrual cup or a tampon to avoid leakage. Infact, for a lot of people, arousal during menstruation is high and period blood acts like a natural lubricant!

Just use oral dams for protection because the risk of developing infections is very high during menstruation 🩸

In a lesbian relationship we tend to run of things to have fun with. Are there any particular pleasure toys that me and my girlfriend can use as we belong to the same gender. We are new into exploring our sex lives together, and want to get more pleasure?
Though you can try all sex toys for females as a whole. But there are some sex toys which are specially designed for lesbian couples. Sex toys for lesbian couples : Strap on dildos: Allowing you and your partner to enjoy hands-free penetrative sex and power play. Strap on harnesses: Pullover like conventional panties, this new generation of harness easily hosts the sex toy of your choice in the O'Ring. Double dildos: get double the pleasure. It's an insertable end held inside the vagina by squeezing one’s PC muscles, leaving the longer shaft free to explore. Vibrating dildos for clitoral stimulation: Different styled wands with or without vibrators Only thing is search for it, know the manual and have open discussion about it with your partner. Also purchase from genuine sellers, it should be made up of medical grade cilicone.
There are plenty of pleasure toys designed specifically for same-sex couples! You could try strap-on harnesses with various attachments, double-ended dildos, vibrators, or even bondage gear if you're into that. It's all about experimenting and finding what works best for both of you. Just make sure to communicate openly and have fun exploring together!

So yesterday i had an argument with my bf. we have been together for about 3 years now. we both really love and support each other. My bf wants us to engage in sexual activity. However i tend to ignore this question and avoid doing it. Its not because i dont trust him, but due to my past relationship wherein i didnt have a good experience. Is it normal to regret past consensual sexual experiences? How do I tell my bf about it ?
Hi,You need to take care about your feelings and also need to counter those conflicts which bothers you.You can have a open discussion with your boyfriend.

Is sex painful?? I want to try it out but I am scared as many women say that they feel immense pain during the first time.
Hi! Sex is not necessarily painful. For some people first time sex may be because of hymen breaking, lack of lubrication, anxiety or nervousness about how it’ll go, etc. but don’t worry! It will be good as long as you let go and enter the process with a lot of communication and a blank slate. Make sure you and your partner explore everything together, first time sex can be messy but that’s normal. Let yourself feel all emotions and give it time and patience. The more you do it, the better it will get 🩵

No baby girl! Instead of being scared for your first time, try and make it special with a great amount of love and comfortability. ❤️🥰

Ugh, this is embarrassing, but lately I just haven't been that interested in sex. Is something wrong with me? Am I broken? I feel so weird talking about this, but I don't know who else to ask.
There is nothing wrong about it.This can happen due to certain changes like hormones and other chemicals.If you want yo can have a consultation with clinical psychologist.
Hello! Hope you are doing well. It’s totally normal to feel this way! At times, there might be a phase in which we just don’t want to get intimate and that’s okay. It can happen due to hormonal changes and the changing pattern of the menstrual cycle. Not being interested in sex doesn’t mean you are broken. Let me know if you want to connect to discuss this further! -Sampada Fotedar psychotherapist and intimacy coach
