Fun, fulfilling single life and sex when you are 40+?

A year ago I split from my ex, after almost 20 years. I am mid 40ies, teenage kids.
I have loved learning and discovering who I am, what I enjoy, rediscovering myself really.
I found the love of dancing again and dance a lot, at home. I spend time with friends and on my own.

I would love to have great sex again, it’s been years. I am not sure how to go about finding it. There’s a potential FWB, not sure if it will happen though.

I don’t yet want a serious relationship, the last one cost me too much.

If you have a happy, fulfilling life as a single 40+, including good sex, please tell me about it, would love to hear some stories.

I found my partner out dancing, it was dancing that made me notice each other and dancing that has been one of the things that has kept us together. Met aged 47 and 50. Go out!

Maybe try Feeld. A website for those who enjoy sex and wish to have more. There are people requesting threesomes, twosomes etc. It's set up like Tinder.

I split from my ex when I was 39, spent some r turned 40 and was having amazing sex with a sort of casual dating guy. Not quite FWB, not quite a relationship. It was perfect. Dated him for around 10 months.

I would also recommend Feeld. I am also fairly recently single after a long (and for the last few years sexless) marriage. I am not ready to date seriously yet but would like to have a sex life again. I signed up less than a week ago and was very honest about what I am looking for, and got over 500 likes in under 24 hours, ranging from 27 to 60 year olds(I am also mid-40s). I have a date with someone from there after Christmas.

Sorry posted too soon. Anyway point is, I met him on Facebook dating. Met current partner on Tinder. Had fun dates in between those guys from Hinge and Bumble. Never meet any men in my daily life of work, gym and kids, so I tried all the apps. It's been a lot of fun, not many weirdos and no dick pics. My current partner is a few years younger and is so lovely. Get out and enjoy OP!

I split from my husband a couple of years ago after nearly 20 years together
I’ve had more flings, shortish relationships and fun in that time than ever!

Normally through meeting people on Hinge, Bumble and even more ‘focused’ apps for nsa fun

@Heartofgold8019 well the problem was that he wanted more - he started thinking we could turn our situation into something more serious. I knew I didn't want that, I had always been clear on no marriage, step fathers, cohabiting etc.

Shame. The sex was the best I have ever had. At least I have the memories!
