Cathy Jones Interview
Q: Why are we on the phone talking about vaginas?
Cathy Jones: Yeah, a lot of people don’t want to talk about vaginas, but I’m right into it. I have a lot of friends who are heading into menopause — they’re looking at me, sweating from a hot flash, and they’re freaking out. I’m realizing “Oh my god! They’re coming through the portal!”
Q: A portal to hell?
Cathy Jones: No! One of the reasons I’m passionate about all this is it’s important to keep things going in terms of vaginal health. After menopause, the tissues of the vagina are lacking estrogen and they start to get dry and irritated. That leads people to say things like “I don’t even want to go to the doctor to get my pap smear,” because it’s painful. But it’s an incredibly important aspect of aging that I think a lot of women aren’t talking to their doctors about, and a lot of doctors aren’t talking to women about. People so often refer to “dried up older women” — it’s so insulting. The ease with which people talk about erectile dysfunction . . . nobody talks about anything that happens to women. They just sort of push them aside and move on to somebody younger so they don’t have to discuss it.
Q: What are some misconceptions about menopause? Would you count ‘Oh, I’m just going to be dried up’ as one of them?
Cathy Jones: It doesn’t have to be that way. Men’s testosterone goes down gradually, like that guy Sully landing that plane on the Hudson River. Finally, they’re like 116 years old and still trying to have a go at the nurse. And she’s like, “Wait til I get your catheter out!” It’s like men have always been characteristically still interested in sex in their 80s and 90s. But women don’t have to just grin through what happens when we get older.
Q: So if the testosterone drop in men is like Sully’s plane landing, what’s the estrogen drop like for some women? A meteor crash?
Cathy Jones: It’s like one of those big rides at the fair where you suddenly go “Woaaah!” and are dropped down. You’re losing a lot of estrogen quickly and you’re going down hard. That’s why it’s a difficult passage for people, there’s all kinds of things going on in your mind.
Q: Let’s talk silver linings — what’s there to look forward to?
Cathy Jones: Sometimes you hear the saying “Every decade is better,” and you’re thinking “Wha? How’s that possible?” But it is better for me in my 60s, and I was so scared of reaching this age in my 40s. Knowing you’re not going to lose that connection of feeling aroused or healthy down there — that’s a really important thing to know. You may be changing, but you’re not losing a great deal.
Q: How much can people expect to hear about vaginas when they come see your one-woman show?
Cathy Jones: I want to say that when you’re talking to me, you’re talking about vaginas a lot. But seriously, just a bit. I just talk about how we shouldn’t let it go – I chastise the audience for starting to wear those funny glasses that women start wearing in their late 60s.
Q: You mean like [22 Minutes character] Marg Delahunty wears?
Cathy Jones: Yeah! Like plaid glasses and glasses that look like bowling ball material. They’re like glasses that say “Go away! There’s nothing to f–k here!” There’s no need to wear those funny glasses if you keep things going.
