Sis, let’s talk real.
Menopause has a way of showing up like an uninvited house guest — bringing hot flashes, mood swings, sleep struggles, and a little sprinkle of “what is going on with my body!?” But here’s what they don’t always tell us: your sensual self isn’t gone — she’s just evolving.
You are still her. Sensual. Soft. Strong. Deserving of pleasure, joy, and a deep connection with your body and your spirit.
So, how do you find your way back to that part of yourself that may feel a little lost in the shuffle of hormone shifts and life changes?
Let’s walk this journey together, queen.
1. Start With Touch — Your Own
One of the most powerful ways to reconnect with your sensuality is through intentional touch. And that starts with you.
Run your favorite body oil or cream over your arms, your belly, and your hips. Feel the texture of your skin. Speak love over yourself as you moisturize.
LTK Pick:
Try NÉCESSAIRE The Body Oil or Fenty Skin Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream — both smell divine and leave your skin glowing like a summer sunrise.
Say it with me: “This is my body. She is worthy of love, softness, and celebration.”
2. Move in a Way That Feels… Good
This is not about a workout (though those help with mood too). This is about movement that brings you pleasure — slow stretches, a belly dance class, swaying to a slow jam in your living room, or even a walk where you notice your hips move.
This invites you back into your body, not just your to-do list.
Try this sensual playlist:
“Cranes in the Sky” – Solange
“Brown Skin” – India.Arie
“Say Yes” – Floetry
“Hours and Hours” – Muni Long
3. Reignite Your Feminine Energy
You still got it, sis. Feminine energy is magnetic, soft, warm, confident, and menopause doesn’t take that away. Try this:
-
Wear a bold lip color
-
Slip on that robe that makes you feel like a queen
-
Adorn yourself in fragrance (your skin deserves luxury)
LTK Favorite:
Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum, floral, fierce, and feminine.
4. Nourish Your Sensuality with Food & Ritual
Think of food as more than fuel. Light a candle, use your favorite dishes, and add fresh fruit or dark chocolate to your plate. Bring romance to your routine — even if it’s just for you.
Quick Mood-Boosting Snacks:
-
Dark chocolate-dipped strawberries
-
Herbal teas like Maca root or Damiana
-
Avocados and almonds (hello, hormone balance!)
5. Explore New Intimacy With Yourself & Others
If you’re partnered, be open about this new phase. If you’re single, don’t count yourself out — your sensual life doesn’t end after 50. In fact, many women report better intimacy post-menopause because they know themselves more deeply.
Start slow:
-
Read a romance novel or sensual poetry
-
Reignite desire through guided meditation or journaling
-
Explore safe, natural lubricants and hormone-friendly products
LTK Recs:
-
-
Kindra Daily Vaginal Lotion (for dryness relief)
-
Today I Affirm by Alexandra Elle — poetry and reflections for self-love
6. Affirm Your Radiance Daily
Yes, menopause brings change. But that change can be sacred, sis. You are entering your wise, powerful, sensual era — and you get to define what that looks like.
Daily Affirmations to Reignite Your Sensual Fire:
-
“I am deeply in tune with my body.”
-
“My sensuality is alive and well.”
-
“Pleasure is my birthright.”
-
“I celebrate this season of my life.”
Final Thoughts:
Menopause isn’t the end of your sensual self — it’s an invitation to reconnect on a deeper, richer level. You don’t have to rush. Just begin. With touch. With intention. With joy.
Remember, queen — your glow might shift, but it never fades. You are still fire. Still flower. Still full of life. Let her bloom again.
