I’m gonna be brutally honest right now. I mean, we’re all friends here anyway right? I want to talk about sex today, or moreso, why some of us gals are having painful sex after 50. But before we get into that I want to share some personal deets with you.

I used to love sex. A lot. When I was younger I had sex a lot. With a lot of different men. Was I the town whore? Mebbe. No judging here though, k?

I can’t ever remember a time in my life where I never wanted sex, that is, until after my ‘wreckmyhistory’ aka hysterectomy. It all went downhill from there. Had I known the end result of that procedure would be a dry ‘petunia’ and the most painful sex I’ve ever had, I would have declined it.

Really.

Like, why didn’t the doctor warn me that not only would I be going into menopause quickly after my surgery, but that sex would be painful too? Dude… that’s some pretty serious shit you left out. Jus sayin’.

I mean I still like sex, I just wish it didn’t hurt so much.
