Simon, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your willingness to explore perimenopause and menopause as something couples move through together is both refreshing and so important.

I really appreciate this exploration of how these changes can impact intimacy. When our bodies start to feel out of our control, it can be incredibly vulnerable and, at times, isolating. I imagine that can be true for men as well, especially as they navigate their own shifts in sexual health during this stage of life.

What gives me hope is the idea that when both partners are willing to stay open and keep communicating about what’s happening, there’s a real opportunity not just to get through it, but to come out stronger on the other side.

Thank you. I appreciate the words of encouragement. Truly.

That sense of isolation is often read by men as rejection. And it comes at a time when they are reassessing their place in the world.

Understanding each other and the impact it’s having on both of you is definitely the key to becoming a team.
