Halle Berry revealed her sex life suffered after going into perimenopause — which she originally believed to be a “really bad case of herpes.” The “Catwoman” actress, 58, got candid about how the misdiagnosis impacted her sex life with boyfriend Van Hunt during a recent appearance on the “Drew Barrymore Show.”

Halle Berry had a candid conversation about what intimacy is like while you’re in perimenopause, saying it made her vagina so dry, sex felt like “razor blades.” The experience inspired her to launch her own lubricant — and it’s the very first product offered by her women’s wellness company, Respin .

Halle Berry detailed how her relationship suffered from a previous herpes misdiagnosis, discovering later on that her symptoms rather stemmed from perimenopause.
