Summary
Antonia, 56, said testosterone prescribed as part of menopause HRT revived intimacy with her husband after their marriage neared collapse and she threatened divorce.
Three months after starting treatment, she said she began initiating sex again after years of distance, while Rob said the change was noticeable within a week.
The couple, together for 33 years, linked the earlier decline to work stress, menopause and raising children, which left them sleeping apart and feeling less like a team.
Rob, 55, said the renewed sex life has also brought more openness and experimentation, though the pair still disagree on whether it has reduced their bickering.
Their account frames testosterone HRT as a catalyst for restoring both sexual desire and emotional closeness during menopause, rather than only easing physical symptoms.
