My husband and I still have sex – but something’s missing. Is stress the culprit?I’m a woman in my 50s and have been with my husband for decades. We have always had a wonderful sex life and I used to be able to climax vaginally very easily, often without clitoral stimulation.

Although I am of perimenopausal age, I have no obvious symptoms and a hormone test came back normal.Pamela Stephenson Connolly is a US-based psychotherapist wh...
