| Is sex as important to you as it once was?

I know as we age, certain priorities come to the forefront. Also physiological and mental changes come into play, which may change or need or want for sex.
How true. When my husband (now ex) took a job 200 miles away, called me from his brother's house to tell me how much fun he was having while I struggled to raise and homeschool two preteens and an autistic preschooler on my own, only came home on weekends, didn't lift a finger to help, avoided our special needs child, fell asleep on the couch at 9 pm and then bothered me for sex when all I wanted to do was collapse by that time, I didn't want or need sex. I was 47.
I`m just curious how aging has effected your sexual appetite, and if good and satisfying sex would be considered imperitive to you in a relationship, and has it`s level of importance when weighing the value of a relationship changed? Would you consider a sexless or less frequent or lower quality sex life now , which you might not have considered when you were younger?
Of course. Certainly we'd all like to have that "perfect lover"; one who can read our minds and anticipate every sexual need (and perform), but who is like that in RL -- especially after a certain age?
If anything, I feel more sexy and less inhibited now because I don't have to worry about getting pregnant again. My appetite is strong and stable, thank you. However, at this stage of my life, if I could just find someone to love and to grow old with, I would be happy even if the union could not be consummated - because making love is so much more than just intercourse. | |

But, there has to be a human/spiritual bond and not just the dating frenzy. That is where the "improvement" lies. Trust is key. Communication and consistency can really nurture the soul. As I get older, I realize there is less time to just give in to immediate gratification. I want my next relationship to have a comfort and a trust level to exceed what I "settled" for before-- w/o all the game playing and just being able to be me, and he will be similarly "at peace". Gotta be simple and flowing. | |

Posted: 5/22/2009 4:59:03 AM | | Sex is more important to me now than it ever was before. I feel like I'm on the "back nine" of life. Since hitting 50, I realized that more than likely there are more days behind me than ahead of me. My libido is very strong, probably stronger than its ever been, and I most definitely seek quality. | |

One without the other falls short and is very unsatisfying and unrewarding. | |
