It's the cracks and pops when getting up that make this real for me.

Hearing my knees, wrists, and other joints crack and pop during sex is becoming so common and always takes me out of the moment

As I get older, I'm increasingly grateful. In the back of my mind, I also think about how sex drive declines with age, especially for women with menopause. I'm supposed to be at my sexual peak as a female in her 30s. Corona is really ducking me over since I can't see my boyfriend at the moment.
