    Sexually Frustrated
    My Girlfriend is going through this menopause at age 41. She has lost her sexual drive. She said she has not had an orgasm in 2 months. She fights me when I want to have sex. My drive is still there. What should I do about that?

    She fights you? Hopefully not 'physically'.
    That would be hard. :( You need to understand that menopause does this to Elder women.
    It is a difficult time for them. Why don't you stand by her and show her how much you care? She might repay you sometime in the near future.

    Instead of fighting her, show some compassion for what she is going through. Menopause is not something women are excited about going through. If we could have our way about it, most of us would choose not to go through it. We would gladly trade places with the men for the years we experience menopause.

    Encourage her to go back to her doctor for a complete physical. Her doctor can prescribe some therapy to relieve her symptoms and possibly get back her sex drive. But please be understanding about what she is going through. Find ways to make her life a bit more comfortable. Treat her with kindness.

    I went through a chemically enduced Meno-pause for 6 months. It was hard on my boyfriend at the time too! You just have to be undertanding and supportive. And know that when she is call crazy its just her hormones out of wack! I know when I went through it I had a hard time with sex because I was so dry(sorry for the graphic). That can be a part of why sex isent satsifying for her! Well Good luck!

    Since you know what's happening, show her love and compassion, as well as understanding, if you are in a long term, committed relationship. The last thing she needs is pressure from you to have sex. Is this a dealbreaker for you?
