Celtic,

Oh, yes on the desire -- and response -- later in life!

Surprised me, too. I'm very much surprised and happy about how our bodies still react Post -Menopause!

Anyone thinking that that interest will change after "the" change is going to be pleasantly surprised!

The probems that do arise are ED or - can't think of the name for it - but it means that the vaginal tissue becomes dry and thin.

Thank goodness for new and better drugs!

I just have to get up my nerve to bring this up with someone younger than me. They'll probably wonder what's wrong with me, more than physical. I'm just worried that a new gyn will snicker behind my back. I don't know why this should bother me at my age - I'm much more at home with myself at 58 than I was in my thirties.

The group I go to has at least three women on staff. I've only been there twice, and was "assigned" a man. Maybe I'll just talk this over with the on staff nurse practitioner. I felt comfortable speaking with her about another issue.

Hope I've made the pre-menopausal and menopausal women happy today!
