By this point, you are aware (if you weren’t already) that sex and sexual relationships can change at menopause and as we get older. For some women the changes are good and for some they pose a challenge. If your sex life is good, continue to enjoy it, nurture it, and remain sexually active.

This section points out a few important reminders for the midlife woman and points you to a range of trustworthy resources that can help you restore or maintain a satisfying sex life.
