Is it normal that I want sex more as I get older?

[Anonymous]

Back then when I was in my late teens to mid 20s, I didn't really care about sex. In fact, I avoided sex because I felt like it was too intimate. I didn't like sleeping around either. But now that I am in my late 20s, I feel like my sex drive is so much more pronounced. For the first time in my life, craving sex was a reason why I couldn't focus on my work. I've never wanted to be rubbed in all the right places so much ever before. Right now, for the first time ever, I am really enjoying casual sex with guys. It fulfills me and makes me so happy and satisfied. I don't even care if people look down on it. Sex is beautiful and passionate, fulfilling and feels absolutely amazing. You only live once. why care about what others think? Better to be happy and satisfied with life than live with regret.

I think it's normal.

Though generally, women are sexually active during adolescence, they reach their peak orgasmic frequency in their 30 s, and have a constant level of sexual capacity up to the age of 55 with little evidence that aging affects it in later life.

One study showed that women between 27 and 45 had more frequent and more intense sexual fantasies than younger or older women. They also had more sex and were more likely to have it sooner in a relationship.

I'm happy for you when you said "Sex is beautiful and passionate, fulfilling and feels absolutely amazing. You only live once. why care about what others think? Better to be happy and satisfied with life than live with regret."

I agree with you 100%. Have fun! You're lucky to be so vital, healthy and full of life. Enjoy every minute.

Yes it is completely normal for a woman to be more sexually active and labido ramp up. When men get are labido slows down. Usually the sexual peak for a women is 3Os and even the 40s. Men is usually 20s and 3Os.

[kellytheman]

Thank for the MHO. I hoped it helped and made you understand.

Women hit their sexual peak by mid 30’s to 40’s

[Asker]

im 27

[PositiveFlight]

You are getting there. Late 20’s is higher than early 20’s but you will probably notice even stronger libido over the next several years as you keep your body healthy.

[Asker]

dude its already high enough. I can't imagine it being any higher. I don't have time to have sex everyday.

[PositiveFlight]

Lol 😂 I know what you mean. I’m in my 40’s now but my drive is at a peak too. Way higher than my 20’s or teens. I changed my diet several years ago and due to great health, my sexual health went sky high.

[Asker]

im surprised. science says that teenage boys or guys in their 20s were the horniest then it goes downhill as a guy gets older

[PositiveFlight]

That’s what they say lol 😂 It makes perfect sense however that the drive of a guy shouldn’t go down if he actually takes care of his body. Being that guys can make sperm up till they die. But I am with you, sometimes the drive can become overwhelming.

[Asker]

@positiveflight In an evolutionary sense, female sex drive increases as she gets older because nature wants her to make the most out of her last fertile years. In males, sex drive decreases because the chances of having unhealthy offspring increases as he gets older.

[Asker]

but of course, there are always exceptions

[PositiveFlight]

Yes, I was always told that as an 18 to 20 year old I would be at my peak. But I am literally hundreds of times higher libido now than I ever was at a younger age. I don’t know why other than I try to live healthy and take care of my body.

[Asker]

I don't think it has anything to do with taking care of your body. I think that not everyone is designed to be the same.

[PositiveFlight]

You very well could have a good point there too. Everyone’s a little different. I think it’s also the way people view sex. If someone views sex in a more healthy fashion it can be seen more positively and understood better. I’ve always seen sex as something that is beautiful and healthy. So therefore I have a great deal of respect for it and therefore crave it more.

[Asker]

If humans didn't enjoy sex, human population will cease to exist.

[PositiveFlight]

True. But some enjoy it more than others

[Leapfrog00]

Your sex drive increases often with age. The body is always changing and some of those changes affect your hormones. You might even notice that sometimes you crave sex more than other times. There may be some days when you are more horny than others. May even be certain times of the mouth or the year.

If you have sex often or masturbate, that keeps your sex drive up. There's an old expression "If you don't use it, you lose it," and that kind of applies to this.

There's nothing wrong with wanting sex. It's a human need and a person can go crazy if they don't get it.

[Red_Arrow]

With you craving sex so much and wanting to be rubbed in all the right places, and casual being acceptable, do you now have sex with more than one person at a time, or want to?

[Asker]

why would it matter if i do it with more than 1 person at a time?

[Red_Arrow]

You said, "I am really enjoying casual sex with guys" and "You only live once. why care about what others think?" So just curious if you are now doing it with more than one at a time. I am not judging, just wondering.

[Asker]

i don't understand why you're so curious to ask a useless question.

[Asker]

maybe this just seems unusual to you because you're from a different generation.

[Red_Arrow]

I did not say it was unusual. I said I was just curious.

[ArrowheadSW]

Very common for women to get a higher sex drive at your age. One of the things that I miss about being in my 30's. The women who I dated seemed to love sex more.

[ManOnFire]

Most women get hornier as they get older, and probably get horniest in their 40s and 50s. Science often says men peak sexually in their late 20s or 30s but I don't know, it's a lot of men out there older than me who are some seriously horny monsters.

But it's nothing you should worry about. You should be embracing it.

[Asker]

actually a woman's horniest is 30-40s. I'm in my late 20s, nearing 30

[ManOnFire]

You're in your late 20s and assuming women's horniest is in their 30s and 40s? Lol. I believe beyond the shadow of a doubt that it's women in their 40s and 50s, especially since I've slept with some and even flirted with others. They are way more intense about sex than younger women, trust me.

[Asker]

The 30s
Sex drive peaks in the 30s for many women. In this decade, women often experience sexual fantasies that are more intense and frequent than those experienced by women of other ages. Additionally, many women in their 30s not only have more sex but are also more open to having it early in relationships. Given that women gradually become less fertile with age and need to have more sex to get pregnant, this increase in sex drive is widely thought to be caused by the body’s biological clock.

Many women have children in their 30s. Pregnancy causes many hormonal changes that can increase or decrease libido. Also, breastfeeding and being a mother can alter your interest in sex, with many women having less time for sex when they’re parenting.

The 40s
For many women, the uptick in the sex drive that begins in their 30s continues until their mid-40s. However, perimenopause, which is the transitional period before menopause, occurs at some point in their 40s. So, estrogen levels begin to decline. This can cause reduced sex drive and vaginal dryness.

The 50s
In their 50s, most women experience a significant decline in sex drive, along with weaker orgasms, reduced sexual function, and vaginal dryness, because of menopause. However, women can still maintain a healthy and fulfilling sex life, with treatments like bio-identical hormone therapy available to offset symptoms of menopause. Many mothers in their 50s whose children leave home experience increased libido as a result.

Don't care what the books say, sorry. Science only ever has it right like 50% of the time. I've had experience with both younger and older women and the younger women are not nearly as flaming horny as the older ones, even if the young ones think they are. Most people are unaware of how women in their 40s and 50s can be absolute 'sluts.' These women still behave like ladies and don't even dress whorish, but once you spend time alone with them they become a red hot sexual rage. I know what I'm talking about. Trust me.

[Asker]

Plenty of guys on here who disagree with you

[ManOnFire]

Which is okay. Imagine how many more men are on here who would agree with me but aren't answering, and imagine all the men outside of GaG who would as well. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this site, but it is still really limited on real life knowledge and experience, which is also partly due to a lower user base compared to other sites/apps. I can say for an absolute fact that if this was a post on Instagram and I gave it the same answer as I gave you, it would already have hundreds of Likes and lots of guys would be commenting in agreement. I get it all the time on there.

[Asker]

@ManOnFire Because there are no men who agree with you. If there were , there would be more on here.

[Asker]

by the way, a man is horniest in teen and 20s. It starts going down in 30s

[ManOnFire]

Sure lol. It's whatever you say. I'm 36 and no less horny than I was in my 20s. Whatever you're going through or need to understand, you work that out. Best of luck from here.

[Asker]

@ManOnFire Most guys get less horny as they age.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

You sound normal to me. I'm getting more sexual arouse and horny than in my 20s

[Asker]

science says young guys tend to be hornier than old guys. but its the opposite for women.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@Asker It's something how our bodies change with age.

[megabamse]

We give less shit about stuff as we get older so we relax more. And when we focus on the sex it self more we enjoy it more.

[Danny_dan92]

It’s all based on hormones

[dudeinohio]

Normal

[PointTaken]

Definitely normal. I want it every day but hard for me right now so I just have to stick with myself.

[Mangospacho]

Yeah, especially for women. Guys stay pretty steady with their sex drives through their teens and 30s and drops slightly. Women’s increase steadily

[mommymommymommy]

Different people, believe different things, differently

For example, I can't stand trump

[dean53AU]

I'd say quite normal

[OddBeMe]

Be right over.

[Greenbins]

Everyone is different so it's hard to say.

[MackBoy]

Wow! Nice bedtime stories to read here.😊

[riverrat3]

Most women do

[Cheerfull009]

Sex drive changes

[MasterKS]

The more you understand sex the more you want it.

[Anonymous]

Shouldn't be hard to get since you're a woman
