Libido & Intimacy

For the topic that gets a nervous laugh everywhere else. Not here.

Maud's Toolkit

Habits, techniques, and the stuff that costs nothing but doing it.

Moisturizer daily, lubricant in the moment

Different jobs. A daily vaginal moisturizer prevents dryness; lubricant solves it in real time.

Habit check

A pelvic floor PT is a real specialty

One visit can change more than months of guessing on your own.

Worth the appointment

Desire often follows arousal here

Don't wait to 'feel like it' first — for a lot of women at this stage, wanting comes after starting.

Mindset

Say what you need, out loud

Guessing games get old for both of you. Specificity is kinder than hinting.

Communication
Ask Maud

"Maud, is it normal to just... not want to?"

It's normal. It's also fixable. Neither fact should be a secret you keep from your doctor, or from him.

Ask Maud

"Maud, is it normal to pee a little when I sneeze?"

Wildly normal, and wildly common — ask any woman past forty and watch her nod without even looking up. It's called stress incontinence, it's a pelvic floor issue, and it is not something you're required to just live with. A pelvic floor therapist can fix more of this than you'd think.
