Introduction: The objectives are to present solutions to achieving sexual pleasure after "\a dry spell.\" Methods: Discuss concerns of being rusty, testy, tired, and terrified after some time of sexual abstinence. Physiologic changes of menopause, e.g. reduction in estrogen and serotonin, testosterone, lubrication, etc, which may effect libido, arousal and orgasm, will be reviewed. Medical and sex therapy techniques are discussed to re-introduce sexual pleasure in a relationship after a long hiatus. Conclusions: Love and lust can be found in the sixties and beyond.
