    RealAge answered:

    Growing older, particularly for women, tends to be associated with a significant drop in sex drive, but research related to sex and aging suggests that some women may actually experience more frequent and more intense orgasms as they age. And after menopause -- without the risk of an unplanned pregnancy -- many women find they enjoy sex more fully and freely than ever before.

    Nevertheless, most women will experience a number of changes around menopause that may make sexual activity uncomfortable or even painful. The good news is that many of these changes can be easily remedied, and sex can be just as comfortable as it was prior to menopause.
