Women say good sex begins at 40

[dottee]

A small number of you know about the trials and tribulations of my fast waining relationship with DP and to be quite honest, I think the physical side of what we had has disappeared altogether.

So I'm picking myself up, dusting myself down and considering moving onto pastures new. I consider myself far from 'past it' and if anything, I feel my libido has increased since turning 40 and DP's sex drive seems to have gone the other way.

My attention has been brought to this article today and I find it somewhat confidence boosting although I am no longer in a physical relationship for the time being.

I wonder if any over 40s agree? Discuss?

I'm sure it does...if only my DH could find the enthusiasm or muster up the courage to take me over the kitchen table....I'm sure we could prove this article IS right (42nd birthday next week !)

Perhaps by this age, some of us have developed a deeper relationship with long term partners/husbands, that makes you lose all inhibition with them.

There's nothing my husband hasn't seen of me, so no embarrassment left which makes things a lot easier.

Also, you know those awful, how shall I put them, wind expulsions from down below (I just don't like using the term 'fanny farts'!!), how on earth do people in new relationships cope with those. It's alright with us after all this time, but I often wonder about the embarrassment in new relationships. Hmmmm, perhaps I should start a new thread on that one.

bump ...

bump ... anyone?

This article was brought to my attention the other day. Glad to know it's official that I'm not passed it yet!

Sorry - ignore last post I've put it on the wrong thread! That shows the brain's going!

How very demanding of those 50%

I'm 42 and have a wonderful sex life , loads better than in my twenties but I think it's more down to having a better partner than I did in my twenties.

We 'match' very well, like the same things, and seem top have the same appetite! And he's 31!

Don't fake orgasms, had years of doing that so I decided when I met dh to stop as it's totally counter productive, but I think it takes more confidence than I had when I was younger to be explicit about what you do and don't want in bed.
