As a follow up to yesterday’s post, I wanted to offer a link to an article I just found that lack of interest is a more common concern among women than lubrication problems. Although the two are linked, and problems with dryness is a very common concern.
Vaginal Dryness and Menopause Revisited

I wrote months ago about personal lubricant as a solution for women who experience vaginal dryness as part of menopause. However, what I neglected to mention, and what I think the lubricant manufacturers intentionally tip toe around is the fact that personal lubricant on its own is not a panacea under these circumstances. During menopause many women do experience vaginal dryness, but the change in hormones also leads to a decrease in sex drive, which is a change the lubricant doesn’t address. Thus personal lubricant is crucial but not a total solution, and I think this something that should be acknowledged.
