Your experience is by no means uncommon but your friends' experience is more common, alas. Your libido is not only affected by hormones (I was ragingly horny when I was pregnant), but by all sorts of other factors like general health, availability of willing partners, body image, time available. Enjoy your second adolescence since you now have the knowledge of what to do with your feelings.

Yea for Loren!
Speaking from up close and personal observation, your experience is not the more common one.
Pity.

I'm enjoying sex now more than when I was in my 20's and 30s' - probably because I'm in a better relationship. So much of sex has to do with attitude. Many women think of perimenopause as "getting old" therefore they act old.

If only all of those things happened to me when I was a 16 yo boy. Little kissing or flirting, no sex. I wish I could have every one of these perimenopausal-like experiences now, instead. In our home, my wife's 45 yo libido completely vanished, never to be seen again.

It seems to depend on the month. I am still ovulating and every other month, I "turn on" like a teenage boy! The other month it seems like it would take a fork-lift to move me! The hormone fluctuations are amazing, even to me! Enjoy the increased libido, have fun. I am hoping that I will eventually level off with this hormone thing....I only hope I level to the horny side and not the flat one!

I'm with you there TraumaGoddess.
It's possible the increased libido has kept me young. It started about 4 or 5 years ago and is still going strong.
And I am having fun, my partner's having fun and so is the 27 year old I'm currently dating...

I strongly recommend yoga as a method of relieving many of the symptoms mentioned and providing many unexpected benefits as well. I am fortunate to be among those who have experienced increased libido since starting to have symptoms of perimenopause. Since I started yoga long before I had any symptoms, I don't know how much the yoga has to do with my experience. But, my gyno says she has a significant number of patients report noticeable relief in a range of symptoms once they began practicing yoga. If you've never done it before, just start slowly. Some of the positions can look intimidating at first. But, you will be surprised at the progress you can make if practiced even a few times a week. There are instructional sites online and lots of DVDs available to help get started. Give it a try, it can't hurt!
