Objective: to describe the feelings experienced by women about sexuality in the climacteric period. Method:  The methodological course took place through  a qualitative approach and oral history method according to Halbwachs assumptions. Results: Six women over 45 years of age were interviewed who received fictitious names of flowers as a way of maintaining their anonymity. Discussion: The reports originated 3 categories and 4 subcategories as follows: Physiological changes, Changes in sexuality, Sexual desire, Sexual performance, Sexual pleasure, Experience of sexuality and Need for sexuality. Conclusion: Difficulties in dealing with climacteric symptoms indicate the need to create public health policies, where health professionals can provide knowledge in the form of experiences, materials and dissemination of what can be  done  to accompany women in this period. Health professionals need to be more attentive to work  with women in crisis and develop actions aimed at appropriating knowledge and well-being, as well as personal development, so that they can use effective coping mechanisms in order to overcome the changes and the conflicts caused by the climacteric.
