Question about HRT

OK,

Thanks

HRT can have a positive effect on a woman's libido, and it can help restore it to some extent. But it's definitely not going to change your wife's outlook on sex. If she's a "good girl" and sexually conservative, then HRT isn't going to change that.

Her views CAN be changed... but that will take open lines of communication between the two of you, many honest discussions and a lot of time. Women are taught from their earliest years that "good girls" are supposed to be chaste, faithful and monogamous with one man forever. A few shots of hormones aren't going to reverse an entire lifetime of social programming.
cuckold - Pronunciation - kuk-uhld - noun 1) The husband of an unfaithful wife. 2) A husband whose wife has sex with others. NOTE - It does NOT say: Sexually confused, submissive, humiliated, sissified, crossdresser, cocksucker, or piss drinker

Thanks

Giving her testosterone will also cause her hair to fall out, and deepen her voice, so if you are OK with her looking like "Kojak" and sounding like Lee Marvin then fine. Hormones are some of the most powerful substances on this planet and can reek havoc on anyone, especially a woman in terms of male hormones. You cant just get the benefit you want and not get all the negative ones as well.

The sex desire is cerebral not hormonal, all women have a slut in them, they just need the right man or woman to find it.

Frankly, the discussions will have the much larger impact. In fact, there's a very good chance that those talks alone could do what you want. While age is a factor, it's actually the familiarity and routine that kills libido. Every couple gets into a rut. The longer you're together the deeper that rut becomes. Even though love may deepen over the years, the sex drive inevitably wanes because the excitement has faded. She knows all your moves, and you know all of hers. There's nothing left to explore.

That's why introducing another person can have such a powerful effect. A new set of hands on a woman can reawaken feelings she hasn't had for years. The impact would be much stronger than any hormone therapy.

You've already broached the subject in the bedroom. Try easing the talks further along, very gradually. Pick your moments, mostly when she's aroused. Drop hints... innuendo... and any time you get a positive comment back from her, run with it a bit more. The idea is to push into the subject slowly, over time, getting her to think about it more and more... while letting her know that it arouses you, too. Moving from fantasy to reality will probably take many months before it's even a possibility. It can take a long time to change that "good girl" mentality. But it CAN be done, if you go at her speed and use a lot of patience.

How true!

Thanks all. I know testosterone is used as part of HRT; obviously not to the degree it will cause her to turn 'male!'

You are in good hands with SheDatesHeWaits's and Kennyboy82's advice; the provide the knowledge from their experiences to others on a regular basis. Don't take popeye1's feedback too negatively either. The truth is testosterone is very powerful and women only need a small amount for the full libido benefit, but they do need some in balance with their estrogen. I won't get into the chemistry, but the key is to get all her hormones in balance and most quality anti-aging or hormone replacement clinics will be able to dial her in to steady levels of a healthy woman 10-15 years younger. That is a normal goal and it is reasonable to believe that would allow her to regain her youthful lust she may have lost due to hormone imbalance or inadequacy. It likely won't make her a raving nympho if she never was before, (see popeye1's comment), however, that said it appears she fully enjoys sex when it happens and this seems like a very reasonable path for you to pursue to at least help her regain some of her lost lust. There are also side benefits of fat loss, skin improvements, etc. if done properly which might make her feel more youthful/desirable. From there SheDatesHeWaits, Kennyboy, and others my well be able to help you as you steer her desires into adding another male partner, but as you will hear from them and others it takes time to change a lifetime of social engineering concern what is or is not a 'normal' sex life for a couple in love.

Excellent point. Women need to feel good about themselves in order to feel sexual. So any physical improvements she notices would go far toward rebuilding her self-esteem. It's one more piece of the puzzle you're trying to put back together.
