Sudden surge in libido

[Flippetydip]

About 18 months ago, I had a crazy 2 weeks where I had to have sex about 2 or 3 times a day. My DH kept up amazingly well to be fair to him and was quite happy with it. However, it then went back to "normal" where I was quite happy to either do with or without it but it was generally more of a chore and it settled into about once a week or so.

I seem to be on the verge of another "desperate" time - does anyone have any idea what causes this? I'm not complaining, although it is VERY distracting and quite inconvenient. I would love to be so that I wanted it about 3 times a week - not every minute of every day, or not at all. I'm exceptionally lucky to have a very obliging and lovely husband. Just not sure I'm going to make it through today until the kids are in bed.

Are you in your late 30s or early 40s? I'm experiencing something similar - apparently a last hormonal gasp before the baby factory shuts for good.

Hi - yes 44 (so was early 40s last time - mid 40s this time). It's not quite so intense this time, thank goodness. But yes, a last ditch attempt for babies would make sense I guess.

I just came on to post about this exact thing, I'm late 30's and I'm pleased to hear that it is in fact a 'thing'

Usually I'm really not bothered, once every couple of weeks will do me fine, but this week, my goodness, DH thinks Christmas has come early!

Yes me too.I have been mad horny for the last couple of weeks.Im 44.Good to know its perfectly normal.

Yup, nearly 41 and totally want it more than ever before. Husband thinks it's great!

It is odd though, how your brain can be 'on' and it's consuming. Then a week later not so fussed.
