The new research from the University of Sheffield says that external factors like caring for a relative, partner"s low sexual desire and the depth of relationship were more important than hormonal changes in measuring sexual satisfaction during menopause.
"Biological research tends to report the negative impact of declining hormone levels on womens' ability to engage in and enjoy sexual activities, whereas our study found that some women actually saw an increase in sexual desire during this time," said Dr Sharron Hinchcliff.
Therefore, the study concluded that women undergo many lifestyle changes in the mid life which are also contributing factors to increase sexual desires.
