35 years old (together for 15 years) - explosion in drive?

13 replies

123fourfivesix · 01/01/2012 14:26

35 years old, married with one DC(3) and together for long time. Always had a good sex life, but fairly normal (maybe once a week/ fortnight on average).

Well recently my drive has just gone crazy, is this normal and does it go away?

It's constantly on my mind, thinking of the next time we will be alone etc.

I like it, but it's also sort of annoying me that I'm in a semi permanent state of arousal. It's like when we first met.

Perhaps its the christmas hols and everything will calm down as everything gets back to normal???!!!

You normally have to get past 40 to reach that "permanently horny" stage so think yourself lucky. Grin

Mine went mental when I reached 32. Don't know what happened Grin

When I read "explosion in drive" I thought your car had blown up or something! Grin

I thought "explosion in drive" meant that you and your DH had had a huge explosive row outside the house on your drive! was looking forward to reading about it, but now will go away feeling rather sorry for my poor DH who only gets it about once a month if he's lucky as I have definitely never experienced such an explosion in my sex drive, quite the opposite! I'd rather go to be with a nice Brew

I too am quite disappointed not be reading about huge crater where your car used to be.
My sex drive never exploded it just fizzled quietly out when I was about 55 having just glowed a little for about 10 years before that :)

I'm a bit jealous, actually, OP. I'll bet your OH isn't complaining!

I am also totally rampant, but am 35 weeks pregnant, so the bump and general breathlessness is getting in my way a bit! I think it's just hormonal, but I hope not because I quite like being like this too.

I think your should enjoy it while it lasts and make the most of it. I think most people would love to go back to how they felt when they first met their DP and you've been together for 15 years, so you're very lucky. I doubt it'll last forever.

Enjoy!

I thought you'd had a massive argument in the driveway.

CrotchFlakes · 01/01/2012 15:36

I too was thinking of your car exploding Hmm

123fourfivesix · 01/01/2012 21:36

Ha - ha! Sorry - no cars exploding on my drivewayGrin.

Was in such a rush posting earlier before I went out, I didn't really think of the ambiguous title and didn't want to be too graphic in the post title.

Think it could be the xmas holidays and we are spending 24-7 together instead of just a few hours in the evening on a normal working week. Perhaps next week it'll come crashing down with a bump when everything gets back to the daily grind.

Did get more horny when pregnant too lifeisweet but unfortunately couldn't take full advantage as had history of MC and intermittent bleeding so didn't want to risk anything. Shame....

Just waiting for my DD to go to bed now so I can jump on DH again. I'm not sure he likes itBlush, think we've done it more this week or so than the whole year.

I also wonder if it is sort of biologically related? I mean does my body know it's getting old and trying to have another baby before it's too late? In my heart I'd love to have another baby, but for various reasons my head is not too keen on the idea. We're always careful not to get pregnant.

Could be hormonal? Or maybe you're not so tired. Are you off work this week? Or if you don't go out to work maybe dh being around to help has made you able to rest more?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 01/01/2012 22:30

this happened to me when I was 35

11 years later, it's still going strong Xmas Grin

123fourfivesix · 01/01/2012 22:55

Oh wow anyfucker, I'd sort of like it to continue but not with such intensity as my mind's been drifting even when making breakfast and doing the shopping. I think I've been doing my DH's head in too as I don't think he is so used to me being so full on.

Yes curiousmama, I think it's the xmas break possibly and the general relaxed pace.
