I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! What a question!
Sexual desire has nothing to do with the ability – or lack thereof – to procreate. Actually, with no need to worry about birth control, a woman may be *more* interested.

Not if she had a healthy sex drive prior to menopause, and a good bed partner.

Of course they do, menopause effects a womans ability to have babies not have sex. Sex after menopause can be even better for a woman.

Why do men think they have the market cornered when it comes to sex. When your withers up and wrinkles more do you lose your sex drive? The answer to both is NO!!!!!!

Many women say that their sexual desire lessens during the time of menopause. In many cases, the cause is physical. For instance, because lower estrogen levels sometimes cause physical changes in a woman’s sexual organs, having sex may become uncomfortable or painful so it is important to find out whether there is a physical cause for lack of desire. For some women, taking hormones called androgens can help restore sexual desire.
Some women find that sexual desire changes because of how they feel about themselves during menopause. Counseling and support groups can help women learn strategies for coping with the physical and emotional changes that occur during menopause.
