Menopause and sens: Judit Mascó's honesty that not everyone liked
How much truth can fit in one sentence about menopause from a former model? Judit Mascó has sparked a debate with a statement as blunt as it is controversial: sens during this stage of life "is crap". The colloquial, no-nonsense remark has triggered a wave of reactions that go far beyond the easy joke.
A taboo that is still alive
The problem is not that Mascó speaks about her own experience, but that her statement has exposed how unnatural society still finds it to talk about female sensual in later life. Many of the responses have resorted to mockery and crude comments, confirming that the topic remains uncomfortable for many.
A reality with nuances
Not all women experience menopause the same way. Alongside those who report a loss of libido and physical discomfort, there are testimonies pointing in the opposite direction: women who say they do not need lubricants and maintain a satisfying sens life. Generalisations, in any case, do not do justice to the diversity of experiences.
The former model has done what many keep silent about: talking about a real issue with a word that, precisely because it is crude, grabs attention. The response shows there is still a long way to go towards normalising it. Perhaps sens during menopause is not crap for everyone, but for now, the debate stinks.
