A member asked:
Is it true menopause comes sooner if woman is not sexually active with enough frequency?

Sex and menopause: Not true. Menopause means there is no egg left. The speed of the disappearance of eggs is not under our control, sex or not. Sounds like someone wants you to have more sex, nice try.

No: The timing of menopause has nothing to do with the frequency of sexual activity. The average age for menopause is 51.
