Naked Attraction’s Anna Richardson, 52, says she’s having ‘amazing sex’ like in her 20s
During her impressive 20-year TV career, presenter Anna Richardson has never shied away from sharing the ups and downs of her life, both on and off screen.
“There’s something wonderful about this stage in life," she continues. When you come through menopause, it’s like you’re a wise woman of the village. It opens the door into the second half of your life – a life of freedom, self-knowledge, purpose and a life that’s no longer fearful about trying not to get pregnant and worrying about your fertility!”
“For me it wasn’t a case of, ‘I hit menopause and my periods stopped’,” she says. “It was a slow, confusing creep over years and an awful lot of trying out different HRT methods, different dosages, different hormones. Now, I haven’t had a period for two years and I feel fairly steady, but it’s still not as it was when I was having my periods. For some women, menopause is difficult.”
“Let’s get this conversation going. It’s being beautifully done by Davina McCall and various other women, so it’s good that the conversation is out there. But no one is talking about this final taboo. It’s a bit of an unspoken thing, but women really want to know about sex during menopause.” Take her recent show, Naked Education, which co-starred Dr Alex George and DJ Yinka Bokinni. The docuseries involved frank discussions with teenagers about sex, relationships and body image and divided viewers.
During filming, her life took an unexpected – and very public – turn when she was told her fertility levels were worryingly low, or, as Anna puts it, “I discovered my fertility was f****d”. Always one to champion diversity, Anna says she’s considering adopting a refugee child, or a “LGBTQI kid that has maybe suffered any kind of prejudice or persecution”. She adds, “It’s about, ‘How does one create a family, however that looks in the 21st century, with someone who has love to give?’”
