I’m Dr. Sadaf, OB/GYN and S*xual Counselor. And the science on this is genuinely something most women have never been told..
Estrogen receptors exist throughout your brain, including in the areas that regulate pleasure, arousal, and s*xual response. As estrogen fluctuates in perimenopause, those pathways are directly affected.
At the same time, researcher Dr. Rosemary Basson showed us that women’s desire doesn’t always work the way we assumed. It’s not spontaneous for most women, it’s responsive. It follows emotional safety, arousal, and the right conditions. Not the other way around.
So if you’re waiting to feel desire before you engage, you may be waiting for something that needs a different set of conditions to even show up.
Save this, share it with someone who needs it, and if you want to go deeper, book a consultation with me if you want personalized guidance.
