Just having a jokey conversation withy partner . I say " he should appreciate the fact that I'm still interested in loveaking at the age of 54 as far as I'm aware there are alot of women and men who go off it at our age . Just for transparency I have had a beer or two. 😂

No. 38.
Children are 1.5 and 3.5. Maybe things will change when they sleep and I'm not breastfeeding? 🤷‍♀️

I averaged about three times a year with my husband - not nearly enough for me, and all I had ever experienced. His libido was much lower than mine (Or I just wasn't the right person for him).

At 42, I am now 15 months into a new relationship, having sex 2-3 times a day and loving it...,, long may it last I hope - I do worry sometimes I won't keep up, but it is fab feeling so desired and he knows how to pleasure me big time! Grin

Miss it terribly a decade without. OH had a turps op. which went wrong post op. so no more sex. It does change the relationship, no more kissing cuddling or touching from him. It has caused a great sadness for me.

DJattheendoftheworld · 02/08/2019 21:09

No. Lost all interest in that when I got pregnant 5 years ago. 37 now and would happily never do it again.

userxx · 02/08/2019 21:11

@BraveGoldie Jesus Christ..... high five to you 🖐. I'm 43 and feel live I've totally lost my sparkle 😞

Groovee · 02/08/2019 21:12

I'm 41 and still need and want it. My hubby is 49 and always up for it too x

Strongecoffeeismydrug · 02/08/2019 21:13

45 and I think the older I get the more I desire.
Partners 46 and he is always up for it so alls good.

PyongyangKipperbang · 02/08/2019 21:20

I am 46 and still very up for it, and far more confident in bed now I am older so the sex is so much better than it was 20 years ago.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 02/08/2019 21:28

50 and perimenapausal-after a few years of drifting into only a couple of times a month DH and I started counselling, having dates and then came the sex-now probably 5/6x week-would have more probably but kids often in the way!

Cupoftea7 · 02/08/2019 21:55

Age 51. After 20 years plus with the same person- I can take it or leave it and I’m male.

ChidiAnnaKendrick · 02/08/2019 21:59

I’m 30.

Would be happy never having it again.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 02/08/2019 22:04

I'm 36, haven't done it in over 5 years and really wouldn't be that bothered if I never did again! Luckily I'm single, although the last couple of years I was married I really wasn't that into it either (which ex wasn't happy about, but there's nothing unsexier than being pestered all the time..)

Whatsyournameagain · 02/08/2019 22:09

44, not interested and have always found it extremely overrated. Wouldn’t care if I never had it again.

StormBaby · 02/08/2019 22:10

I had no sex drive at all in my 20s and it was a constant issue in my previous marriage. Since I hit my 30s I've been rampant! Been with DH 4 years and want it all the time. He's younger than e and he can't keep up! Long term partner before him I was the same.

Spanielsanddaughters · 02/08/2019 22:16

@PleaseGoogleIt we’re twins
I had the implant a couple weeks ago and I think it’s broken me.
I have 2 under 2 but would at least think about sex a lot, now I forget it exists

SugarMiceInTheRain · 02/08/2019 22:17

38 and absolutely gagging for it. Unfortunately DH is a lot less keen. We've always been a bit mismatched but my libido has steadily increased over the past decade while his has gradually decreased.

rslsys · 02/08/2019 22:22

64 - Ruby WA in September and still regularly DTD!

Smug or what?

allhalekale · 02/08/2019 22:27

37 and very happy never to do it ever again.

likeafishneedsabike · 02/08/2019 22:34

To all those who are pregnant/breastfeeding/sleep deprived with young DC . . . hang on in there! Your mojo might return when children don’t paw you, suck on your nipples and keep you up all night.
42 and very interested following a ‘sabbatical’ of a few years.

EC22 · 02/08/2019 22:36

I’d have sex every day. Other half not quite so keen.
I’m 40

LadyOfTheFlowers · 02/08/2019 22:38

Very interested at 36, as is boyf who is 31

ItsAllGoingToBeMagnificent · 02/08/2019 22:39

How do these people have time for sex 2/3 times a day, you must have nothing else to do all day?! (I’m just jealous). I’m 35 and still loving it when we actually manage to do it, it’s just finding time to. I have a 3 year old and a 2 year old who generally don’t sleep, so finding a window where they are asleep and we aren’t is near impossible.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 02/08/2019 22:39

51 hitting menopause and would happily never have sex again, up until my late 40’s had a healthy sex drive but now it has literally like a switch has been turned off, honestly even if Brad Pitt was begging to ravish me it would be a case of sorry Brad you’re going to have to sort yourself out.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 02/08/2019 22:41

I though that its all going don’t these people have jobs, homes to run, kids to look after? All power to them but really where do they find the time!
