Thanks for sharing this. It's something I've often wondered about as it's been mostly performative for me, and now, well past menopause, I'm just relieved of that drive and can enjoy my own body, without romance and sex cluttering things up.
Sex and romantic love, as depicted in novels and films, are unrealistic. We become disillusioned when our expectations fail in comparison.
True love is complicated, often messy, with unexpressed feelings of anger, disappointment, and more.
As for me, I'm much more interested in a soulful connection with an open-minded, intelligent, kind man who will accept me and support me through good times and bad. Satisfying sex is not at the top of my needs list.
