But I'm 55, I've had a total hysterectomy and because my ovaries are gone, I have to take low-dose estrogen from now on. At the moment, I'm on Premarin, though I take about half of what's been prescribed for me because I honestly believe I don't need such a high dosage. So I've noticed a couple of things recently.</p> <p>At times, my vagina feels extremely dry, as if the walls are sometimes rubbing painfully against each other. The other thing is, whenever I urinate I notice a vaginal odor that's significant but not noticeable to me any other time. HOWEVER, it doesn't bode well for intimate moments. Since you're the doctor, I was wondering what you might suggest to address these problems. Thanks so much!</p> <p>Dear J,</p> <p>My aging pussy is kept in shape with bio-identical hormones made from the soy bean plant which is closer to what my body once produced. Go to the right hand column and find my essays on Menopause and HRT. Personally I avoided Big Pharma as they are more about profit rather than our health. You were smart to cut the dose in half.</p> <p>Also I would never consider any form of genital touch especially vaginal penetration without an abundance of additional lubrication. I prefer Almond oil that can be purchased from your health food store. And if you don't have a vibrator for clitoral stimulation I highly recommend the Mystic Wand to be used for selfloving and also during partnersex.</p> <p>As for the odor from urine or what you smell during urination, that would have more to do your diet and consumption of water. A low water consumer can have fairly potent smelling urine. Or we all know how urine smells after eating asparagus or for me, after eating any shell fish. I don't recommend douching, just reaching up inside the vagina with a finger and washing the outer parts with gentle soap and water is usually sufficient. And by the way, 55 is still quite young so enjoy your age and your sex life.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig'

I thought at first it was because I was in a bad marriage, we didn't have sex at all the last five years we were together. However, I have been involved with a wonderful man for the past year, he is very loving and attentive, and has no problem exciting me! But I still cannot seem to have an orgasm, only a couple of times. It feels good, but never quite gets there. Even self stimulation falls short. Is there anything I can do?</p> <p>Dear D,</p> <p>My first thought was to introduce a good vibrator into your masturbation and also when you have sex with your partner. Also I find focusing my mind with a hot fantasy instead of wondering if I'm going to come helps a lot. This whole business of making our orgasms the end all be all of sex can often backfire. So many women I've seen lately are driving themselves half crazy over their lack of orgasm.</p> <p>At that point I recommend smoking pot to get them our of their minds and into their bodies. Marijuana is a true aphrodisiac as it slows down our brain waves. As we leave the mental chatter behind, lo and behold we begin to feel sensations throughout our entire body. I want to start lobbying for the use of cannabis in treating all kinds of sexual problems. Since I recently published my sexual memoir, I was reminded once again that the magic herb actually fueled America's Sexual Pleasure Revolution!</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

for 10 years and not had intercourse in many years, and before that infrequently. The last time I attempted intercourse it was painful and stinging. Four months ago I began masturbating (no prior experience) the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/798282657/betty-dodsons-barbell?ref=shop_home_feat_1&amp;frs=1">vaginal barbell</a> at first was painful and stung to insert but soon became enjoyable. With the strawberry vibrator I never had any difficulty with stinging or burning upon insertion and I LOVE IT!</p> <p>I recently purchased <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/smartballs-teneo-duo/adult-toys-dvds-26530#pcode-U3F">"Smartballs"</a> but have found it stings and is quite painful upon trying to insert them.</p> <p>Once I get the first ball in, it begins to feel all right but then I cannot get the second ball to penetrate deeply enough to stay in. It is as if I do not have a deep enough vagina to accommodate both balls and yet I can easily accommodate the same depth with my vibrator. What can I do to have both of them fit in and stay to walk around with them?</p> <p>I also purchased a "Delight" which goes inside to stimulate the G-spot and the outside is to stimulate the clitoris. On attempting penetration, it also stung and burned a lot. Most discouraging was that I couldn't even get it to penetrate at all because of the angle or the way I was holding it.</p> <p>I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with the burning and stinging issue because I would really like to use these sex toys and perhaps someday to accommodate a penis. Thanks you so much</p> <p>Dear BY,</p> <p>My dear woman you are proof that the seventies are indeed the youth of old age. I applaud your curiosity and sense of adventure. However, you didn't mention using a lubricant which is your number one sex toy.</p> <p>My experience with vaginal penetration with a penis after menopause required using a bioidentical hormonal cream. It requires a doctor's prescription. Read <a href="https://www.dodsonandross.com/menopause">Hormone Replacement: One Sexologists Personal Experience</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>In your search for vaginal and g-spot pleasure, they'll always be a secondary form of stimulation in relation to your #1 source of pleasure: your clitoris. Get my book <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/book/41588/orgasms-for-two-by-betty-dodson">Orgasms for Two</a>.</p> <p>Since you have the barbell, be sure to include clitoral stimulation along with your kegel exercises. Most of us wise crones are focused on the clitoris NOT the vagina or the g-spot when it comes to enjoying our orgasms. Stay in touch and let me know how you're doing.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT

the ovaries) hysterectomy. I've not had sex yet but I'm worried about a decrease in sexual desire and the inability to get wet when I am in the throes. What can I do now on my own to insure that I can have great partner sex? Should I take vitamins? Are there exercises? Help.</p> <p>A</p> <p>Dear A,</p> <p>Although I have no idea why you had a radical hysterectomy, you'll want to get your health back. Consider a total overhaul on what you eat, how you exercise and do a lot of alternative healing processes. You are now a postmenopausal woman so I'm sure they recommended hormone replacement. Consider checking into the bio-identical hormones made from the soy bean plant. You can read my Hormone Replacement essay about this.</p> <p>When you feel like having sex again, start with yourself.</p> <p>Get the <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/vibrators/massagers/hitachi-magic-wand-vibrator#pcode-U3F">Magic Wand vibrator </a>that is a must for post menopausal gals and a bottle of my <a href="http://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-lubricants/water-based/sliquid-organics-silk#pcode-U3F">Sliquid Organics Natural Lube </a>. While you are having a love affair with yourself, be sure to avoid comparing what you feel now with what you felt then. Also Google your situation and gather as much info as possible. Some women say partnersex was better after surgery while others complained. It's a very individual thing.</p> <p>Also explore your mind for new and hot sexual fantasies and always use additional lube for any kind of clitoral stimulation or vaginal penetration. Be sure to read my info under <a href="https://www.dodsonandross.com/barbell">Betty's Barbell </a>and keep you pelvic floor muscle toned. Share what you discover in your recovery. Way too many women go through this surgery and the medical professionals do not prepare women for the aftermath.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

uterine&nbsp;contractions, although I find it difficult to separate all that I feel&nbsp;during orgasm into the reaction of my various internal organs.</p> <p>I am trying to convince myself that I will still experience orgasm if I&nbsp;lose my uterus (which a rapidly progressing uterine prolapse may&nbsp;necessitate). Can you educate me (and all of us) about the physical&nbsp;dynamics of orgasm. I am 58 and only became orgasmic at 47 when I used the&nbsp;magic wand for the first time. I do not want to stop being orgasmic!!!</p> <p>Dear Crystal,</p> <p>I only wish I could educate you and all other women (myself included)&nbsp;on the physical dynamics of the female orgasm. A large part of our&nbsp;sexual response remains a mystery until further scientific&nbsp;investigation takes place. However, I'll share what I do know as a&nbsp;sexologist. Not all women report uterine contractions as being that&nbsp;important during orgasm. Some like yourself are very aware of the&nbsp;sensation and rely on it for their orgasmic pleasure.</p> <p>Personally, I'm&nbsp;sometimes aware of mild contractions during masturbation, but when I'm&nbsp;incorporating vaginal penetration along with clit stim, I'm rarely&nbsp;aware of any uterine sensations. Some women have told me their orgasms&nbsp;improved after a hysterectomy while others bemoaned their loss. So&nbsp;it's very personal and different for all of us. Let me assure you this&nbsp;will not be the loss of your orgasms. However, they might be&nbsp;different. Recently I discovered my orgasm intensity has diminished&nbsp;somewhat, but I attribute that to the stress of starting a new&nbsp;business. Nothing stays the same.</p> <p>First off, Imagine the uterus as a pear with the neck of the pear as&nbsp;the cervix. A prolapsed uterus (one that is pushing out of the vaginal&nbsp;opening) can also be treated by inserting a pessary, a small device&nbsp;that holds the uterus in place. You can check out another kind of&nbsp;hysterectomy described here by Dr.Bradley.</p> <p>"Recently, an old operation for removal of the uterus has been updated&nbsp;with modern technology, and the result is remarkable. The operation is&nbsp;called a 'Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy.' The procedure is performed through tiny incisions as previously described, but the&nbsp;cervix is not removed. The body of the uterus (with or without the&nbsp;ovaries and tubes) is removed through one of these small half-inch&nbsp;incisions utilizing a new high-tech instrument." Dr. Bradley goes on&nbsp;to say, "The cervix is a highly erogenous area for many women, and the&nbsp;supracervical technique will not affect this structure. Whether or not&nbsp;sexual performance is better if the cervix is not disturbed is indeed&nbsp;controversial as there is no scientific way to truly evaluate this&nbsp;question. We have seen however much faster resumption of sexual&nbsp;activity (2 weeks) if the supracervical technique is utilized."</p> <p>The problem with this procedure is that very few doctors are aware of&nbsp;it so you would have to become an advocate for you own health care,&nbsp;something I recommend. Just below the url, is another url where our&nbsp;astrologer at Planet Waves has several women discussing alternative&nbsp;healing methods.
