| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/25/2009 9:57:00 PM | well Im not over 40 (yet) but pretty derned close to it (39) and my sex drive continues to increase as I get older. At this rate, I'll be a nympho by 50. LOL I think a part of it that plays into the drive is the quality of sex. Mediocre sex, your drive is going to go down... awesome sex, and it goes up. That's my theory anyway.... whether it's true or not, I don't know but I'll choose to believe it.  | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/25/2009 10:01:33 PM | | increased for me...gave me a better understanding of what young guys go through. | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/25/2009 10:04:00 PM | | Yeah, no. The old sex-drive just keeps getting stronger and stronger without any sign of slowing down. And I like it that way...... | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/25/2009 10:12:35 PM | | I am not sure who began this little bit of misinformation..Sex drive for women usually increases with Age...Anyway has for me. | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/25/2009 11:28:46 PM | | nope, mine's always been very high..and if anything, it started increasing in my late 30's ...still stronger than ever | |
|
| |
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 12:15:43 AM | | Well for me it has certainly increased as I hit my 40's, maybe it has to do with being more comfortable in my skin as I get older, but have to say it's been fun. | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 12:16:26 AM | | Yeah, buckle your seat belt. That's why really old guys are with twentysomethings - their hearts can't handle it anymore. Date a red head around 40 for a while and tell us how long you were passed out from exhaustion. Just pray that SHE is not the one reanimating you - that would be the beginning of round two. | |

| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 12:35:18 AM | Never heard that one!! Deffinatly keeps INCREASING! Just the way it's supposed to be. :-) | |

| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 4:01:47 AM | | I am 45, and yes my sex drive is.. errr... high! I wonder though- is it because of my age or because I have the freedom to focus on it now?? My kid is almost grown, my guy is in the same spot. When we are together, there are no kids around, fewer worries- we are free to indulge ourselves. That coupled with a degree of comfort in our own bodies gives a freedom we may not have experienced before. I'm not saying its one thing or the other but I do think there may be more to it than just maturity? | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 4:23:26 AM | trying to compensate?? ^^ for what?? all the crappy sex we had when men were young and clueless??
46 and my libido is in overdrive!! and the sex just keeps getting better and better  | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 4:29:33 AM | @ the above ^^^^^ post!
Au contraire "grass hopper"! Don't know where you are getting your info "Alpha Man", but you have it oh soooo wrong!
My libido is in high gear, and I'm loving it.....AND I'm way past your stated designated age of 26-30.....AND I'm not compensating for a damn thing!  | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 4:39:33 AM |
Na, it is ascientific fact that a woman is in her sexual peak at 26-30. You must remember these things a are studied. I believe women start feeling old and try to compensate.
Sounds like one of us old ladies shot you down chief! And I see you want a younger woman...they must not what you either! You're a 35 yr old male who, from the looks of it, AIN'T a doctor...you don't know jack.
OP, it varies from woman to woman. There is no hard and fast rule--it's how YOU feel that counts. I'm 45 and my libido ratcheted up 1 MILLION notches around 42. Am I more free? No...I have no kids and am still of childbearing age. It's hormones. But my flip side is that I'm contending with the possibility of early menopause (joy).
Enjoy yourself--sensibly obviously--but realize that if it DOES chaneg, you're not having issues--your body will only be/do things for so long.
(AFL mumbles 26-30...aren't some of those girls the ones on girls gone wild videos, kissing other women to screw with guys like him?) | |

| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 6:09:37 AM | | Not that I have noticed. I hear stories but so far, no actual proof. I think it's all big talk. I dare someone to prove it, come what may. | |

Ah, another of the male persuasion whose empirical evidence is contrary to the above posted assertions by those who are the subject of this query. farceur, is it possible that we knewthe same woman?
Anyway, perhaps in my second life I'll meet up with one of those women whose libido hasn't withered and died. Just hope my heart can handle it.

| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 7:32:57 AM | OP, while I am not a doctor and don't play one on TV (I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one night tho) I can say that research has shown that women begin to reach their sexual peak near 40 and above. I for one appreciate that fact since I am now in my 50's with all my equipment still in working order and ready to go....now, if I could just find one of these ladies to enjoy the time with, the latter part of life would indeed be grand.
So relax and enjoy!
Have a great day... Doc

| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 7:37:51 AM | I have noticed that there is one think that significantly decreases a woman’s sex drive, and that is the consuming of Wedding Cake! | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 7:54:46 AM | | thanks to all for their replies but alphonseO consuming the wedding cake yes my sex drive was down then but that had to do with the fact that he onlycared about getting his rocks off | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 10:02:09 AM | | if a womans sex drive keeps on increasing as she gets older, i now know that when i see an old woman shaking , her quivers cannot always be down to parkinsons disease or the vibration from her hearing aid. | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 11:07:29 AM | It gets stronger and better with every additional candle on my birthday cake.
I don't doubt many women feel a reduction in sexual desire when they age but based on what my friends told me its more a factor of no longer being attracted to their sloth-like, selfish, unkempt husbands than plummeting hormones. | |
|
| sex drive in women over 40 Posted: 8/26/2009 12:24:23 PM | Personal experience?
Even women well into their 50's have a significant high sex drive. God really does think he as a sense of humor in having men peak in their late teen's and women in their 40's. | |
