Menopause is not the sexiest topic. After all, women suffer from hot flashes, emotional moods or sleeping problems in this phase of life. But the transition does appear to have a beneficial effect on another life factor. Namely sex life.

Although complaints such as hot flashes, sleepless nights, vaginal dryness or mood swings may not sound very exciting, research by LELO shows that women enjoy sex more during and after menopause. LELO, which produces intimate products, previously advocated masturbation-free in the workplace, because an orgasm makes us more productive.

Research into the sex lives of people over fifty

Today is World Menopause Day and for LELO reason to investigate the sex lives of women aged 50 and older.

According to the research, this target group has sex less often, but when they get laid, they enjoy it more and have more intense orgasms. It also appears that women experiment more sexually later in life

During and after transition

More than a third (35 percent) of women over 50 indicate that sex and orgasms improve as they get older. Of the women surveyed, 73 percent acknowledge that their sex life has changed compared to their younger years and 44 percent indicate that they now have a lower libido.

According to LELO’s findings, for many women menopause and aging are related to acceptance of their bodies. Self-confidence is an important ingredient for a pleasant sex life. By the way, do you already know these ingredients for a good lovemaking session?

‘Sex is more fun as you get older’

More than half of women over 50 feel more comfortable between the sheets. The figures also show that this will only improve over the years. For example, 36 percent of women appear more comfortable trying out new positions and 8 out of 10 women feel that their sex life has become more adventurous.

Writer and driving force Wies Verbeek, who writes about aging and menopause, agrees with the study’s findings. “The nice thing about getting older is that you are much more daring and know better what you want. This ensures that sex can also be more fun. There is still so much to experience. Try out toys and challenge yourself (and your partner)!”
