Sex after menopause may be looked at as a downhill spiral of dried up hormones and a faltering sex drive. But this assumption is not the complete and final story. There are plenty of women that are over 50-years-old that are sexually active and enjoying it immensely. In fact, there are several reasons why sex after menopause is essential.
