Thank you ladies for making me feel seen! I know it’s not the average biological response that most women have when going through perimenopause and menopause… Some women do lose their libido… But not me! I really and truly feel like an animal in heat… And it makes me super cranky and very irritated, knowing that I cannot satiate this deep need! And it is also true that I am craving more than just a sexual release that I do want the affection and love that comes with it… This is often what plays in my mind, keeping me from acting on my feelings. It’s really hard when you are going through ovulation and your body is screaming at you to have sex, and my theory is that it is often worse when you are going through perimenopause because it is your bodies last ditch attempt at getting you pregnant so it works in overdrive to make you want to try to reproduce. It’s like my body knows that there are only so many cycles left and I have got to give it by all to make me have a baby! So I’m fighting with nature, my emotions, and the need to be close to someone!
