The L(ove) word
Queer desire during menopause
This time of your life doesn’t automatically equal “lesbian bed death”
My biggest fear on entering menopause was anticipating a nose-dive in my sex life. I didn’t care about mood swings, night sweats, memory loss, weight gain and vaginal dryness. Having finally discovered a non-monogamous lovestyle that suited my desire for connection and novelty, the thought of returning to hormonally-induced “lesbian bed death” was devastating.
