Knowing what I know now, before marriage, I would confirm that a woman was willing to do whatever was necessary in terms of HRT to maintain their sexual function through middle age and beyond. Otherwise, you have a good chance of spending the last half of your life in a dead bedroom situation, no matter how well you maintain your own sexual appeal and function, and no matter how good of a partner you are.
That's a ticket to divorced for me. The woman I'm courting now, 27 year age gap, hehe, I told her when I feel like the deal is one-sided, I'm gone!
Just wanted to chime in here as well, My wife hit pre-menopausal status 1 years ago, we tried HRT at 2 different clinics. One was a cream with Estradiol, Progesterone, and T , the other was a pellet combo. She didn't do well on either of these. Created great mood issues and no libido at all. But we did find a fix....25MG pregnenolone and 25MG DHEA (non micronized is the key), 2 x 2mg Test E weekly.....this keeps her levels all mid range. It brought her libido back to 2-3x a week. Just recently (about 6 weeks ago) we added 100MG Bupropion SR once daily....no increase in libido but it shortened her time to orgasm and helped intensity. Just an idea for you all to try.
I say more customization is better, so if your developer can make it happen that’d be awesome. In the meantime, is it possible to copy the thread or move all posts over? If that’s the case you could just move them all then delete the first posts that don’t pertain to the new topic of maintaining a good sex life deep into marriage. Just a thought.
From our own experience and what I've read from other women, it's usually progesterone that ruins everything and overshadows the energy, mood, and sexual benefits of estradiol and testosterone. Progesterone often makes them fatigued, apathetic, and kills their libido (similar to the effects in men). Estradiol and testosterone bring the party, progesterone shuts it all down.
