| Is there Passion after 40?
Posted: 12/30/2008 8:56:26 PM | I don't know about most...
But I as I grew older and more mature, I drifted from Sex as a physical release to much more of a view of sex as a passionate and much more enriching experience...
So I'd say Passion has increased not decreased after 40 | |

Posted: 12/30/2008 11:45:36 PM | OH yes, yes, yes.
And it gets even more passionate after you turn 50; no one has any inhibitions left!
Now, I wonder what the '60's will bring? | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 6:15:13 AM | personally, i feel like i didn't really discover my passion until i was almost 40, and it just keeps building
however, i'm not really sure how much of that, for me, is biological/hormonal, and how much of it is because i was in an abusive and horrible marriage from the ages of 22-39 that the passion wasn't there then because my life was hell
however, no matter WHY it's here now, (and with a vengeance!), I can say "yes," there is passion after 40; often more than there was before | |

I think those of us who are older have learned to channel passion, give it direction 
Beauty of experience and grey "whiskers".
"One lights the fire ~ the other fans it"  ... at any age. | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 2:30:20 PM | I am more passionate now than I have ever been in my life - 'cause I know what it is and how to maintain it! It's something I hope never to loose in this lifetime! After 40 you become much wiser! | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 3:14:24 PM | | I don't think it changes with age but is more an indivdual thing. Probably the people over 40 who are not passionate were never that way even in their early years. That is just my guess though, I really don't know if it changes for some or not. | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 5:59:22 PM | | I think most have attested that "Yes Virginia" passion continues if it were there to begin with.. or maybe for some they find passion.... unless he is having physical issues which you haven't really hinted at, I would imagine he's not showing enough... how on earth do you tell someone they just aren't satisfyingly passionate? Without it scarring the fragile ego? I know mine would be wounded if a man told me that.... chances are the guy just isn't inclined.. and as been stated it has nothing to do with age... | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 7:29:09 PM | | Has anyone ever noticed how closely enthusiasm and passion are related? I find that an enthusiastic partner inspires passion in me. The problem is finding one that is enthusiastic, rather than overly cautious and skittish. After 40, so many people have their armor on so tight, it can squeeze the passion right out of a budding relationship. It varies from person to person. | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 7:53:15 PM | | Passion doesn't die out at 41. I'm 41 and for me my passion seems to have grown. I've always been a passionate person in everything I do. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 1:36:23 AM | definitely, but with a few provisos. There are a number of issues that dampen the ardor of both sexes.
1. Menopause affects feminine libido and the femine response. Lubricant may be required.
2. Blood pressure meds, and cholesterol meds can effect a masculine response, leaving him feeling a little flacid.
3. obese weight can interfere.
On the other hand, there's the freedom from pregnancy, and and more confidance in ones skills and experience.
Finally, just because you are over forty doesn't mean you won't run into the jocks, the geeks and the drama queens. I sometimes think people never grow out of highschool | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 8:14:44 AM | All I know is that after this New Years holiday. I KNOW there is passion after 40!
I am so freaking wiped, but smiling constantly...
I don't think either of us will walk properly for a day.
Need a nap.....
I think the bed is broken and it's definately not where it was last night.... | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 8:38:17 AM | | Passion does increase after forty. I have noticed this even more profoundly on women. Women on their thirties many times are more about duty, family, children, getting that career of the ground. But here comes forty and they realize that they have not done this or that or the other about THEMSELVES. So some profound changes begin to take place. First of them, women become more sexual and willing to experiment. Second, they become more aggressive in how they pursue relationship. While before they would sit by the phone and wait for the guy to call, they now pick it up and call. Also, and this applies to guys, you put up with less crap, so you start to spick up more often, and by verbalizing how you feel about something, you begin to get a sense of freedom and a way to express your passion. | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 1:26:22 PM | | No, you all shrivel up and die after your 40th birthday. Haven't you heard? Oh, you're still alive? Good for you. lol Some of these questions are so amusing. Of course there is still passion after 40. I'm 31 and I would much rather be with a 40 year old than a 25 year old any day. More life experience. It's hotter. lol | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 10:29:33 PM | It all comes together in your 40s. And the passion just gets better and better and better. Maybe we bring more experience to the table - not so much with technique, though that's part of it - but experience relating to another human being.
A lot of books are out about sexuality in "later" years. Better Than I Ever Expected, Still Doing It, Ripe Fruit, Round Heeled Woman, et.al.
Your local bookstore probably has them, or Amazon if you're rural like me.
Cucu Lee has a wonderful story, One Florida Night...punchline is grandma's riding a younger guy cowgirl style and her grandaughter on the West Coast, oblivious of the time zone, calls. Grandma finally answers and her grandaughter says, "Grandma, whatcha doing??"
I refuse to surrender sensual pleasures. | |

Posted: 1/3/2009 5:54:57 PM | Passion after 40, hell yes! Sex just gets better. We have had years to learn what works and what doesn't. The thought of your partner can still bring out the side of you that you had at 20 only we know what to do with a lot better with age. We have experinced the thrills of wanting the touch, the longing we understand how it works how to get there and finnish oh so very pleased. Passion is like a fine wine, gets better with age. Sure maybe when we are in the old folks home it might be different. Then again we might be surprised at what we could do to keep the mind and body sharp there too! Let's all hope so  | |
