Let’s Talk About Libido

Let’s talk about the L-word: ‘I think more Irish women than not are struggling with libido and desire’

Irish women are no longer afraid to ask for what they want in the bedroom, but talking about the ebbs and flows of our libidos is a relatively new conversation“You have the teenage girls who come in to get fitted for [contraceptive] devices and they’re usually asking, ‘How soon can I have sex?’” she says. “And then, on the other hand, you have older women coming in after a procedure like a hysterectomy, and they’re more inclined to say things like, ‘I think I’ll just tell him I’ve to wait a few more weeks [than is standard] before I’m able to have sex.’”
