Sex myths
It’s a common myth that people stop having sex as they begin to get older. When you were a teenager, you probably never wanted to think about your grandparents’ sex life together. But now that you and your friends may be grandmothers, you know you’re still vibrant, healthy and fully alive. Unless you’ve been told by a physician that you should not have sex, there’s no reason not to enjoy romantic intimacy with a willing partner.
Lots of women also begin to feel unattractive as they age, an idea seemingly reinforced by a youth-obsessed society. But many older women are considered to be incredibly sexy, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t tap into your inner sexy self and enjoy it.

Sex facts
If you’re not feeling so sexy, it may not be because your sex drive is slowing down or you’re no longer attracted to your partner. Some medications can inhibit your sex drive and make it more difficult for you to feel desire. Talk to your physician if you’re taking Zoloft, Paxil or Prozac, which are known to decrease sex drive and may cause female dryness.
Spice things up in the bedroom by changing sexual routines dramatically. Incorporate sex toys and vibrators into the bedroom. Many vibrators are made for couples, and studies show that men might be more open to using them than women think. If you’d like to keep things hardware-free, try performing sensual massage, changing positions or experimenting with touch when you’re in the bedroom. Sometimes, changing things is enough to help you overcome female dryness.
It’s common for women to experience female dryness during and after menopause. A lack of moisture doesn’t mean you’re feeling a lack of desire; it could simply be hormonal. Female dryness can create dyspareunia, painful sex. Overcome it with lubricants and extended foreplay. Drink plenty of fluids to increase moisture in the body. When this doesn’t work, consider using a vaginal estrogen cream that helps give back some of the hormones you’re losing.
