Discuss. What – no takers? You’re all thinking about it. You’re all dealing with it. And if you’re not dealing with it, you will be dealing with it. Your husbands and lovers and kids and friends and parents and the people you work with, they’ll all be dealing with it too.But no one wants to talk about it, right? We can talk about sex. Sex is hot. Sex is cool. Sex means we’re still…sexy. Or at least functional. ‘Cause one of the dirty little secrets about menopause – not so functional any more. And okay, so who wants to think about sex as a “functional” thing anyway? Sex is spontaneous and dirty. Sex is…all the time. Whenever, wherever you want it. Sex is like the movies. It’s like going to a PG show and then suddenly finding yourself at the NC17.And then you turn…gasp…forty. Or forty-five. Or fifty-eight if you’re like my mother but she was a ballet dancer disciplined enough to will menopause away. And little by little…not so much like the movies any more. Or maybe…not the movie you meant to see. A boring movie. A movie that just doesn’t get…going. A movie with no CLIMAX. And it’s not just the kids and the mortgage and the job that are your problem. It’s your goddamn body, hell bent on embarrassing you at every turn. It’s those pesky little hairs that turn up in inappropriate places. It’s your brains that came out with your breast milk and never returned. It’s…here’s a dirty word…CELLULITE. It’s the guy or girl -- or both -- in the bed next to you snoring. It’s a horror movie. That’s what it is.</p> <p><a href="https://www.firstwivesworld.com/featured-entertainment/hot-flashes/episode-1-in-the-beginning">read more</a></p> https://www.firstwivesworld.com/featured-entertainment/hot-flashes/episode-1-in-the-beginning#comments divorce Hot Flashes Sat, 10 Nov 2007 20:42:33 -0500 FWW 23 at https://www.firstwivesworld.com
