Let’s talk about...S.E.X
Good evening lovelies...sorry for late post or lack of everything of late...just finished work and struggling with working full time...anyway I have a question on sex drive. Is it the letrazole...I do not have any interest in sex what so ever. I’m single and met someone recently and when I say met...I mean came to my attention lol it just worries me that nothing registers down there. Is this normal and will my sex drive return? ☹️ xx

- @Hendrix there are moments when I wish I had taken a quick foray onto Tinder while I still had my hair :neutral:
Gone with the wind LOL Frankly my dear I do give a damn.- Fingers crossed for the warmer weather. It's always had a positive impact on me.
- @primek I was fine during menapause it’s the letrazole :( that I noticed it completely disappeared
- @Zoffiel your funny...if I just had the energy! Lol
- That's how I feel about it at the moment @Sister. Sex just seems too enormously impossible to deal with right now. It would be a foray into a completely foreign land. The last time I had breasts, was still enjoying a monthly cycle with its hormone fed libido surges, and wasn't dry as a desert from no oestrogen. Now I'm afraid it's going to hurt, that it will be an utter failure and that I won't achieve any pleasure, giving or receiving. I'm so tired. It's in the too hard basket for now.
- My libido declined during menopause. It was worse after chemo but improved again despite letrozole. I don't have a strong drive now however I can get interested with the pressures of life off (adequate sleep etc) and it still works. Just takes a bit more to get me fired up without my tits. But I get there. Weirdly I have more drive when I've done a lot of exercise. Go figure.
- What do they say not to talk about at a dinner party? Religion and politics. Is sex the third subject?
- PS, @Hendrix You never know when it's going to be the last time, so heading out and getting whatever makes you happy is a pretty reasonable approach. Gawd, I can hear the pursing of lips from here. Never mind :)
- To be fair, I did have my ovaries out before I started chemo (for the second time) Being instantly 80 will not have helped. I'm not in a passionless relationship, or even a sexless one, but the goal posts have certainly shifted and many things I took for granted all my adult life are now off the menu. That old saying 'Can't teach an old dog new tricks' springs to mind. I can probably be taught, but I prefer what I had before. Grrrr!!!!
