In the following scenario, which friend has offered the best advice?Margot, fifty-four, confesses to her girlfriends that, while her marriage seems strong, sexual dysfunction has become a problem.Natalie suggests that Margot get a new hairstyle and take more care with her appearance—men in longstanding relationships often lose interest.Catherine says, “Oh no, I hope he is not having an affair. You need to pay more attention to his activities, especially when he comes home late.”Jean says it is to be expected — after all, her husband is fifty. By sixty, sexual intimacy is usually a thing of the past.Terry says maybe a visit to the doctor would be in order.
Sexual dysfunction can have many possible causes, including health conditions, medications, or stress, and it is not simply an inevitable result of aging or proof of infidelity. A doctor can help identify the cause and discuss appropriate options, so Terry’s suggestion to seek medical advice is best.
