Default Sex after 40...

Why does sex after 40 feel so damn good???

Just wondering what the big difference is between 30's and 40's.

Not in my 40s either but you just made me very happy to get there. Plus my grandmother is always going about how your 40s are the best decade in life.

Sweet!

I guess every ten years it gets better then....I can't imagine as a little old lady with all my cats and guinea pigs hiking up my skirt for the mail man.

I think it helps that my mate has a high drive...or I'd be screwed...and not in the good way

I think by the time we reach 40, we just don't give a shet about what others think. I know I couldn't care less what people think about me or how I look, etc. Not like I did in my 20s...always worried about what people thought of me. Now I'm like, "You. On the bed. now." Hubs doesn't complain.

Rock it!

the hormonal changes women get somewhere in the mid 30's thru the 40's actually thins the lining of the vaginal wall, making you more sensitive

OMG! Yes. I always had a high drive but it was kicked up after Hubs' big V.

Older women are the bomb. My wife is 4 years older.

While frequency is an issue, the quality of the sex has greatly improved over the years (my wife is almost 44 and I'm almost 40).

I think some of it has to do with experience and really knowing your spouse's body well.

I also think that it's by that point that while you are still very physically attracted to your spouse, and they are mentally/emotionally so much more developed and sexy. You both understand each other so well as people by that point... it takes things to another level imo.

I know that the way Hubs looks at me changed after I had our daughter. It was more intense and connected. Sounds strange but after our daughter, the sex was even better than it was before.

I'm 53 and sex when I get it is as good as it ever has been. I had trouble having orgasms until I was in my mid-thirties. My problem is I rarely have sex because my husband does not enjoy it. Or he at least doesn't enjoy it with me. That is another story altogether. However when we do have sex, it is amazing.

Most have finally figured out what to do and probably because they realize if you dont use it you'll lose it

I was surprised by how much more I craved sex for the emotional connection after 40 and not so much for the physical release.

@ That Girl - "you. on the bed. now." - That's HOT!
