Of course it is perfectly valid and acceptable, and so is deciding
not to stop then.

I was taught that once menopause hit,that a woman with any sort of class or breeding gracefully retired from sexuality. I've got to say I agree with this teaching.
There is nothing sexy about surgical scars,varicose veins,sagging breasts, gray hair or wrinkles on a woman
and nothing more sad and pathetic than a woman who refuses to act her age.
I think older woman are better off and far more appreciated when they accept their age with grace and have the wisdom to understand that at this time in their lives,their best purpose,in fact their only purpose is to use their resources to aid,comfort and care for others.If you have a fleeting sexual need,take care of it in privacy and by yourself.Acting with maturity and elegance,stepping aside in a classy way is the best way to go imho.

When I read that, all I could think was, "Wow, this is a detriment to so much of what women fight for everyday."
