My very HD sister recently had a hysterectomy for cervical cancer. She had to fight to save her ovaries from radiation (they're tacked up in her rib cage now). She has indicated that she knows that her ovaries are still working because she does get the cyclical tender breast thing still. Maybe it's worse or more noticeable without a uterus? OTOH, because she is HD in the sense that she thinks of herself as someone who loves sex, she (I kid you not) started MB to see how lame it was going to be while she was still barely able to walk after surgery. She cracked me up because she was like "I'm worried. It wasn't very good. But my inner thighs are still numb too so maybe it will get better." You think?
Anyway, she's undergoing pelvic radiation now and this causes you vaginal walls to get rigid unless you have sex or use a stretcher thing 3x a week for the rest of your life. My sister has decided to spin this in a positive manner and has decided that she will now be a sexual super-heroine because all the super heroes get their powers from being radiated. She has a plan to get her boyfriend to take a comic book sexy picture of her with various props in the radiation room and then she will enter it in an erotic art show.
I guess my point is female sexuality is effected by hormones but the mind is much more powerful.
