Sex is a natural part of life. it connects the passion between two people so there's no reason for you not to want to enhance your sexuality

I'm not ashamed to tell you that my husband makes me hotter than a hot flash!  We share a healthy sex life because we share INTIMACY.  That intimacy takes us beyond the bedroom and into each other's hearts and minds.

If you're trying to re-create the sexual magic in your relationship, here are a few tips:

Manage Your Menopause

Symptoms may begin up to 10 years before you reach the menopause at 50. As your body stops producing estrogen, your interest in sex naturally diminishes. Although I’m not an advocate of hormone replacement therapy, some doctors say hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be incredibly effective, helping to give your sex drive a boost as well as reducing symptoms such as hot flashes.

There are lots of treatments, including sprays, creams and patches, so consult your doctor. Natural alternatives include the red clover and agnus castus supplements.



Get Rid of the Guilt

Just because you're 50 (or older) doesn't mean that you shouldn't want sex. Sex is a natural part of life.  It connects the passion between a couple and there's no reason for you not to enhance and appreciate your sexuality.

 Check Your Medication

Certain drugs are known to lower your libido, so it's worth checking out side effects.  Culprits include medicines for heart disease, blood pressure, arthritis and high cholesterol, among others. Ask your doctor if there's an alternative you could try.



Test Your Hormones

Testosterone is important for sex drive in women and men, and a deficiency can lead to a dwindling interest.  Other symptoms include depression, fatigue, memory and concentration problems. See your doctor for blood tests.

There's no reason you shouldn't turn up the heat of passion in your relationship—even after 50.
