A woman (Elaine Feeley) has described how going through the menopause killed her sex life - because intercourse became so painful.
Elaine Feeley, 58, says she felt so guilty that she and her husband Keef hadn't had sex in four years that she told him to sleep with someone else.
Despite the couple always enjoying an active sex life, she says everything changed when she went through the menopause.
Elaine Feeley says she felt so guilty that she and her husband Keef hadn't had sex in four years that she told him to sleep with someone else
She said: 'We've been together for 20 years and used to have a great sex life. When I first slept with Keef I'd never had an orgasm like it before.
'I used to say "I feel this good I could die this minute" - it couldn't feel better. It was like that for a long time.
'But after the menopause sex was, at first, uncomfortable.
'Then one night I just had the most horrendous pain, as if I'd been stabbed. I pushed my husband off, saying "stop, go away - I can't enjoy sex any more".
'My desire hasn't gone, but I'm fearful of the pain I want my sex life back. I've had 40 years of orgasms and now I've been robbed of them.'
Because they no longer had sex, intimacy between Elaine and Keef, 61, had plummeted to an all-time low - and she confesses in the programme they are more like brother and sister.
She adds: 'We always swore we'd never have separate beds - but that's not what happens.
