Dr. Kyrin Dunston (01:16 ):

Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of the Hormone Prosperity Coach. We're gonna answer Tiffany's question today about, she says, fully in menopause now, hate kissing. Anyone else moods. Just curious. Have heard others complain about zero interest in sex? Definitely have that issue. Poor husband kissing now just completely grosses me out and hubby kisses a lot. His dental health is excellent, takes great care of his teeth slash gums. It's just gross. It's so surprising how much my personality has changed since menopause arrived. I'm not snugly where I used to hold hands. Sit next to hug, touch all the time now. No thanks. Please give me space. I've talked to hubby about how I've changed since and he understands, but I do miss how I was in that way. I do like now how I feel way more independent and give less about what others think.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (02:10 ):

I was a people pleaser for sure before. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else is grossed out by certain things. Now, I love this question, Tiffany <laugh>. I absolutely love this question. So this was me back in my forties when I was going through the change. And here I am ob, GYN and midlife and all my patients are at midlife with the same problems. And I didn't, I felt the same way. I didn't wanna kiss, I didn't wanna, I didn't want anything to do with sex. I didn't wanna ever have sex again. In fact, I told my husband, maybe you can relate. Go get a girlfriend. I'm not doing that <laugh>, it's not funny really. But I did say that. And every woman who would come see me in their forties and fifties and beyond would say the same thing. I don't care if I ever have sex again.

Dr. Kyrin Dunston (02:58 ):

And maybe you're there. So let's talk about this. I love this question. So why is this so vital in the West? We very much take it for granted as a fact of life that we are going to lose our sex drive as we age. Whether you believe it or not, there is a part of you, wheth
