There are lot of myths about anything and everything on human biology. Over the ages, the Science and Society have tried to remove many of the myths and social taboo, still there are a lot of myths to go, over time, depending on the culture, geographical and demographic location of the society in the world. It is the “ Menopause “ in women, about which myths are very strongly persisting in the world. Some of the myths about it are largely unfounded social beliefs and nothing else, but looked at scientifically, lot of it is cleared for better. The myth that the woman’s life is greatly disadvantaged after menopause is wrong and largely a social taboo, though it cannot be denied that there are significant changes which do happen in a Woman’s biology after menopause. By menopause, the woman’s ovary is no more sending an egg every month to cause a biological phenomena called as “ Menstruation “ that is normally the first process of reproduction activity. Thus menopause stops the phase of reproduction in a woman’s life, goes without saying , that is a big change in the biology cannot be ignored. It makes some hormonal changes that are primarily required for on-setting reproduction process, it has to happen as associated activities of the reproductive system, it is agreed and accepted, but everything is not lost. However, by menopause, the woman first gets psychologically relieved of the natural bondage, vulnerability, risk and burden of being pregnant again. Thus Women after menopause become quite fearless as the most dreaded danger( being pregnant again when is a fear and not a cause of joy ) for her is gone for ever, as it is normally a big and inherent psychological joy or fear for a woman in lifetime, depending on the situation. In fact, after menopause, a woman can behave more bold, and be more urging, sexy and hunting if she liked to be so, the general myth that the life and/or sex life is gone down too much in the drain may not be true in full and in any case, may be to some extent, depending on the specific person and personal choices. In fact an woman can have better life and better sex, being fearless ( of being pregnant again ), being experienced and having better ideas and motivation of it, after the menopause. The women are likely to be and can have better friends, friendships and relationships after menopause and nurture better friends without barrier or biological fear. Even it is reported that women get better orgasm and longer orgasm most satisfactorily with better engagements after menopause. Most of the times, their spouses may be older and if less interested in romantic life including sex, makes the life of the women little disadvantageous in such cases , that is not expressed, but it is the reality. If they have or do get more and better interested partners, they even perform much better and have more encouraging and satisfying experience. Yes with certain change in physical structure associated with menopause, there are certain limitations do come in, but it can be easily overcome if there is the will for it. An woman after menopause can be more friendly towards men ( or women ) and more accommodating or creating space and accepting friendships and relationships. They can be more pleasing and more attractive or magnetic personalities as well. The women after menopause are emotionally more stable and exhibit more tolerance. They can be potential pleasing friends of life in relations if nurtured carefully. The continued spouse interest, instead of partly or largely writing off is of vital importance. Also new found or rejuvenating friendships do help greatly when made possible. Ultimately as it is said “where there is will there is a way”.
