To be going through a bit of a funny phase in my life? At 33, suddenly I just want to shag anything in trousers.

Couldn't wait until Friday night, sorry.

Has any anybody else ever gone through a bit of a funny phase like this?

I am 33 and have been married for 13 years. Youngest child is now 3 so I am finally done with the baby years.

The last few months, I have developed a major crush on a bloke at work. But it hasn't stopped there. Oh no. Every bloke I see I am checking out in order to determine his shagability.

I have been flirting outrageously in work with people I don't even fancy, just for the hell of it (never mind the poor bloke who I DO fancy).

Building sites have become a whole new source of entertainment for me.

TV programmes are only worth watching if there is someone worth lusting over in it.

Don't even get me started on the inappropriate Harry Styles situation in my head.

Is this at all normal for my age? Please tell me I am not the only one.

:) is that you Caroline? Harry is a child!

Unnecessary · 03/05/2012 21:02

Ha ha
Harry is 18!

However, I do not actually think that Harry styles is personally responsible for my current crazy phase.

Not that I would mind if he was though, you know

Gosh give me some of what you are having!!!

slowestwildebeast · 03/05/2012 21:06

I'm not yet 33 but not miles off, I'm currently in 'Grandma mode' where I'd rather have a cup of hot chocolate! :) Excited about reaching my 30's and becoming rampant!

Don't act on it though. Seriously. Not worth the bother.

ivykaty44 · 03/05/2012 21:08

37 years old and I wanted sex and then more and more was never enough Grin omg it was just wonderful

UserNameNotAvailable · 03/05/2012 21:13

Oh my god, I could have written most of that post (not the flirting bit or Harry styles situation though)

I'm 34 btw with a df of 13 years and since I was sterilised in 2010 my nether region has almost healed up Grin but ive found my loins being stirred from having sex day dreams about young(ish) bits of hot stuff in their 20's (one in particular!)

Oh god, am I going through a mid life crisis? Shock what's the female equivalent of middle aged men wearing leather trousers and riding a motor bike? Am I going to become a brazen hussy?

TiggyD · 03/05/2012 21:14

I knew a lady who turned 50 and went like you OP. I didn't quite manage to get out the way in time.ConfusedGrinBlush

DueinSeptember · 03/05/2012 21:30

Careful, it happened to me (at 35) and I couldn't leave my husband alone. The 1st month or so I got pregnant at a really strange point of the month! Must have been some sort of hormonal thing. Unfortunately, no sex now until the baby is born as it's causing problems.

Birdsgottafly · 03/05/2012 21:38

I went through this stage in my 30's, luckily i was single, i had loads of great adventurous sex, just enjoy it.

WorraLiberty · 03/05/2012 21:41

Sounds like the slightly early onset of a mid life crisis OP Grin

Unnecessary · 03/05/2012 21:48

Slowest wildebeest - see I've been through the 'grandma' phase and at the time, I thought that that was me done to be honest. I never predicted that this little surprise phase was lying ahead.

As for not acting on it, so far only my husband has seen the benefits!!!!

However, I have not had a proper nite out on my own in nearly 4 years. Quite frankly, if I have one now I fear what I might be capable of.

(especially if that man from work was around)

I went through that phase at 32/33 too!

NorksAreMessy · 03/05/2012 21:51

I am wearing trousers.
Gulp

ivykaty44 · 03/05/2012 22:00

I don't think having sex a lot is a crisis Grin it fucking great!

Unnecessary · 03/05/2012 22:12

It suppose it might be a crisis were it to end up being with not the right person!

I'm 33 and exactly the same. My sister has noticed and says I'm disgusting. I don't think DP minds too much, although I did proposition him the other night, and he sighed and said "Again?" Blush

ivykaty44 · 03/05/2012 22:44

gosh yes - just imagine if they couldn't do it right - that would be a crisis Grin

kelly2525 · 03/05/2012 23:26

I went through the same thing in my early 30s, I ended up having a dirty weekend away with a bloke 10 years younger than me who I found (without actually looking for) online, then I had another short fling with an idiot and became a single mum two months away from my 36th birthday.

Be careful what you wish for OP Grin

ButternutSquish · 04/05/2012 13:19

well I'm with you on this and I'm 43! I'm lusting after young men, old(er) men, ugly men, gorgeous men, and now I have a 25yr old trainer at the gym and I'm lusting after him too although he's seriously not my type at all!

Sheesh, but isn't it just great! Fiance is just loving it! Grin

cuteboots · 04/05/2012 13:33

I went through a stage like this when I was 38! Be very careful as its how I ended up having my son! hee hee.

PackItInNow · 04/05/2012 13:38

I went through something similar a wee while back, although it was only DH who was bearing the brunt of it Wink and I wasn't interested in any other blokes. Poor Dh was like a rickety old duffer after I'd finished with him. He took a long time to recover Grin.

idontbelieveanymore · 04/05/2012 13:38

I went through this stage when I was 28...sadly it passed.
If my dreams were pornographic and I couldn't stop the images in my head!!

Still, it was nice while it lasted...Blush

PackItInNow · 04/05/2012 13:39

Don't forget though "This too shall pass" Wink.

Happened to me.

Don't act on it for the love god. Trust me. Don't
