Quote: Someone should be researching the effects of these hormones on such things as vaginal dryness, various arousal responses, etc. (It's always been said it's all estrogen, it may not be so straightforward...
Here is some (admittedly anecdotal and small-sample) research for you... Just a few months ago, my W "suffered greatly" from vaginal dryness, discomfort, etc. She has been in full menopause for a number of years (she's 50). She was CONVINCED that menopause was TOTALLY to blame for our almost total lack of sex life (this despite MANY years pre-menopause with the same lack of sex life), and she was also convinced, I think, that sex was for all practical purposes over for her. I then bought PM and read it, and started practicing it. For the past month we've ML once or twice (usually twice) per week, and she's had NO problem with dryness or discomfort. There are still other issues, but I'm hopeful we'll get them worked out. I'm currently hurting over some recent issues surrounding our 25th anniversary, but I remain adamantly hopeful that we'll eventually be able to attain a true "Passionate Marriage".
