It has been generally assumed that menopause would spell the beginning of the end for a woman’s sexual life. But is it really so? Recent surveys and researches have discovered that a woman in her 40’s may be having more and better sex than women in their 20’s or 30’s.
It may come as a surprise but it is a fact that older women seem to enjoy sex more and thrive on it.
Many different reasons can be attributed to the sexual satisfaction and enjoyment of the older women.
It could be experience, self confidence, extra-marital affairs or the hormones.
Whatever be the reasons it is quite obvious that older women seem to have a better sex life than most of their younger counterparts.
Most women in their forties have had a serious relationship that has lasted for years. This proves to be a rich source of experience and the perfect workshop to hone one’s sexual expertise.
This expertise comes in handy when a woman desires to experiment with her sexual needs. Most women look for better sex to ease out their pent up emotions and frustrations.
With time marital sex can easily become boring and repetitive if both the partners don’t work to keep the spark alive. This can lead to extra-marital affairs with explosive sex.
One of the more scientific reasons for this boosted sexual drive could be the increased testosterone levels. This is basically due to the fall in estrogen levels which work to keep the testosterone levels in check since puberty.
This could lead to increased sex drive and the need for satisfaction on the sexual level.
A very psychological reason could be that there is no longer that niggling thought at the back of the mind that says what if I get pregnant.
Also as a woman ages she is more confident of her body, she can now define her needs more clearly and is also more sensitive to the needs of her partner.
