The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of sexuality with post-menopause and related psychosocial variable. Using a questionnaire toward sexuality in menopausal woman, have four factors "activeness of sexual behaviors", "expansion of interpersonal relationships", "self-reliance" and "intensity of sexual excitement". Subjects were 137 women from 44 years old to 56 years old. The results showed that the impact of menopause on sexuality was greater for post-menopausal women when compared to pre-menopausal women. In addition, in terms of the elements of sexuality, the impact of menopause on two elements, "activeness of sexual behaviors" and "intensity of sexual excitement", was markedly greater for postmenopausal women when compared to pre-menopausal women. For both postmenopausal and pre-menopausal women, the higher a woman's score on the Simplified Menopausal Index, the greater the impact on her sexuality, and the higher a woman's intimacy score, the lower the impact on her sexuality. The results suggest that it is necessary for sexual health promotion for pre-menopausal women and her partner
