How often is it appropriate to have sex after menopause?

Generally speaking, there is no fixed standard for sexual frequency after menopause. It should be adjusted according to both partners' physical conditions, needs, and personal feelings, ensuring no discomfort, no negative impact on health, and emotional needs are met. Specific analysis is as follows:

After menopause, women may experience vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and other issues due to hormonal changes, while men may also face reduced stamina due to aging, which can affect sexual frequency. If both partners are in good physical condition, experience no significant discomfort, and have the desire, having sex once a week or once every two weeks is commonly considered reasonable. However, if one or both partners experience physical discomfort such as vaginal pain or fatigue, the frequency can be appropriately reduced—even to once or twice a month—without pressure or expectation. Using lubricants during intercourse can help relieve vaginal dryness and improve comfort. Additionally, open communication and mutual respect for each other's preferences are essential.

If changes in frequency do not affect the relationship or health, there is no need to worry excessively. In daily life, maintaining regular exercise and a balanced diet helps sustain good physical health and supports a healthy sexual life.
