Menopause and Sexual Confidence: Embrace Your Next Chapter

Menopause brings changes, both physical and emotional; that can affect sexual confidence. But it’s also an opportunity to explore intimacy in new, fulfilling ways.

What is sexual confidence?

Feeling secure and positive about your sexuality, knowing your needs, desires, and boundaries, and embracing your body as it is.

Changes during menopause, just to name a few:

·       Vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, and decreased libido

·       Hot flashes, night sweats, and body changes

·       Mood swings, anxiety, or shifts in self-image

Here are a few ways to nurture sexual confidence during menopause:

·       Exercise, eat well, and practice self-care to feel good in your body

·       Talk openly with your partner about changes and needs

·       Explore new forms of intimacy—cuddling, sensual touch, sex toys, or fantasies

·       Use lubricants or consider hormone therapy for physical symptoms

·       Seek therapy or support groups to navigate emotional challenges
