menopause

I have been through some of this. I will speak to ONLY that which I have experienced.

Three parts, basic.

Peri-menopausal. As Chump_No_More says:

Peri-menopausal, which means that her periods are infrequent and erratic, but hasn't yet experienced one year without a period. Her libido & lube is fine, no hot flashes or mood swings, but her metabolism has taken a nose dive and is experiencing some weight gain. It's freaking her out, so she watches what she eats and goes to the gym 4-5 times/wk. She's working hard, so I feel nothing but sympathy for her situation. Needless to say, this does create a certain level of dread that works in my favor. Peri-menopause.

My experience here was similar, but she had no weight gain issues. Because of the fewer periods and the pain she had with them was less, we had sex more often. During this time, she would suddenly get super horny - like a fucking man. So sex was higher highs and fewer lows.

Next stage is Natural Menopause. For no other reason than age, the periods cease completely. Then comes the next phase.

Post-menopause. This is for the rest of her life. My experience was that, AT first, there was no change. She just needed more lube and slower entry. Sex can be painful, but not if lubed proper. Having hard pounding sex will make her more sore than before, but she gets over it in a day or two.

About 3 years into post-menopause, for some really stupid reasons, I went completely Beta, arrogant and egotistical; in a very short period of time. Sex became the lack of attraction battleground that we all know about after that. Well, fuck me. Well, no she didn't...

Summary: Peri and post menopause are no problem unless you go completely beta 3 years into post-menpause.

At 6 years into post-menpause, find bead bedrooms, throw-up on your computer, find TRP, then MRP.

At 7 years into post-menopause, the sex is about 60% of where it was 4 years ago, and improving.

Just my experience, YMMV

I can't speak to have been through it, but because of certain genetics I'm actually preparing mentally for it hitting my wife fairly soon.

I expect : A LOT more random shit tests. I will handle as I always had.

She'll be feeling the accelerated aging effects so a.a. and a.m. or ribbing her about looks will be on hold.

Cut down on quantity time and be scarcer when the mood swings are bad.

Also : more lube.

More maintenance and less excitement tingle driven sex. Probably a lot more lmr or hard nos. So have a lot of O.I. activities. Old guy hobbies.

This is a grey area in MRP theory. Some men report it is not a problem at all. Some report the sex increases. Some report the sex stops. There does not appear to be much of a pattern.

You've gotten good advice from people who have been through it personally. My two cents: If physical issues pop up with lubrication or she's not enjoying sex as much, then she can talk to her doctor about topical estrogen and other options. If her libido and energy level tank, then she can get her testosterone levels checked - replacement for women post-menopause can be helpful.

Knowing how my wife deals with physical issues, I am grateful that I have a few years before she gets to that point. Good luck.
