Sexual Health
Will menopausal women's sexual function decrease? There may be two reasons for changes in sexual function
This is actually an illusion. Loss of reproductive ability and loss of sexual ability are two different concepts. Although there may be some influence between the two, this does not prevent women from adjusting themselves during menopause and allowing themselves to still enjoy sexual freedom. Take a look at her analysis:
"If we treat reproductive ability and sexual ability equally, we will think that women's sexual ability has also lost after menopause. It is normal that women are not excited, uncomfortable, or even painful in sexual life, and they can't have sexual life and sexual desire. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the concept of sex. Reproduction is only a part of sex. After menopause, women's sexual reproduction content has disappeared, Sexual stimulation, sex Attraction, sexy expression, sexual health, and other content continue to exist and can last for a lifetime without causing sexual apathy.
Sexual reactions include objective arousal and subjective arousal. The objective sexual response of the body is more significantly influenced by sex hormones and neurotransmitters, and can also be objectively observed. Subjective sexual reactions are both conscious and subconscious reactions, which belong entirely to subjective experiences and are difficult to observe. Overall, with aging, both male and female bodies experience a decrease in sexual responses, such as erectile dysfunction. However, the conscious experience of sexual responses, such as libido, may decrease, remain unchanged, or even increase.
There may be two reasons for changes in sexual function caused by different levels of aging:
(1) The decreased estrogen level affects the cardiovascular system, thus affecting the arterial blood flow in the Genitourinary system;
(2) The decreased estrogen level affects the central nervous system and the Peripheral nervous system, thus affecting the sense of touch and vibration.
Therefore, it can be considered that estrogen deficiency reduces the ability of female sexual arousal and Orgasm. Vaginal contraction of Orgasm can still occur at the age of 60, but rectal contraction of Orgasm is rare in menopausal women. The foreshadowing time for women to reach Orgasm is longer, the time for orgasm is shorter, the intensity of orgasm is reduced, and the probability of women having Orgasm is also reduced.
