Top Things MEN Need to Know About MENOPAUSE

Season 2, Episode 105,   Nov 30, 2023, 01:30 AM

 If you think you’re having a hard time navigating vaginal dryness, painful sex, insomnia, and hot flashes, I can guarantee that if there is a man in your life, he is also having a hard time. More likely than not, he is completely in the dark about why you are having these symptoms and what he can do to help. In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Hughes, the host of Perimenopause WTF to discuss five things guys need to know about menopause. This segment was originally aired during a live webinar on The Perry Channel. 
Rachel and I also take questions from the audience. And no surprise, we came up with more than five things that men need to know to support the women in their lives.   
  • When and How to use lubricant.
  • Understand that a vibrator is not a reflection of your inability to please her. It’s a reflection of your ability to please her.
  • What’s with the hot flashes? 
  • Her lack of libido isn’t about you. It’s about the fact that she hasn’t slept, sex hurts like hell and she isn’t feeling great about her body changes.
  • There is no expiration date on a vagina.
  • How to start the conversation.
