I've found that I'm sure enjoying sex again, more so in my 50's than I did in my 30's, and 40's. I'm definitely more comfortable with myself and my body. I'm not so skinny and boney (the way most men "think" they want their women) like I was in my early 20's when sex was an animalistic action. I certainly wasn't "making love" in my early 20's it was raw, animal magnetism.
Sex now is more meaningful, it's done with precision and finesse. My body although not fat, has it's curves rounded and full, it's sensuous, even to me. I know what I'm capable of doing, in the bed, out of the bed, on/under the table, on the floor, inside the shower, and yes even inside the car (now that's reminiscent of my younger days).
Some years ago, I remember seeing seniors (on a cruise in fact) look at one another in a strange way, I saw the woman look at the man, take his hand and instantly they both looked younger as they headed off in a hurry........now I know what was happening, I know why they were happy, I knew why they looked like they were made for each other - Because they were made for each other, the sex way great, again, finally!

OMG! I want want you're having! Do I really have to wait till I'm 50? *sign*...another 5 years!
I haven't enjoyed (or even wanted) sex in...well...in a long time. So I'm happy to hear the 'urge' will return. Now if I could just convince my husband :)
Girl, the last thing I wanted for what seemed like forever was sex, YUCK! But turning 50, having my kids grown and gone and doing well, retiring (both of us), getting reacquainted, and feeling better about myself - I can't get enough of it and he's coming around too........SEX IS GREAT AGAIN!!!!
I'd love to tell you I'll be thinking about you but...............naw, aint gonna happen, it's all about me!!! LOL
Sex? Hmm, I believe I remember what sex is and I remember it quite fondly, too!
I've heard that sex does get better as you get older - the problem is, you have to have someone else around to have it with and I haven't had sex in way too damn long. Going on six years as a matter of fact - ugh!
Worse than that, though, I miss being held and kissed and made to feel loved. Not having anyone else's arms to hold you can be a real suck moose thing and lately I fear that I shall never ever have that again.
Sigh ...
But I'm happy for you, I really am!
Linda, I hear younger men are good for that - lol.
I wish I could help cause I can't imagine wanting/needing something so fundamental and not having it.
Just think...when I was younger I used to think that older folks just sat around knitting when they retired!
Peace,
Diva
Yeah Diva, when I was younger I didn't think my grandmothers were having sex either, I couldn't for a moment have imagined - LOL :):)
Now I know different though, they were still having sex and still enjoying it.
Maturity is great!
You are perfectly right and with the added incentive that you know that the patter of tiny feet are not going to follow! There is a mystical freedom that no-one ever tells you about - a magical carpet - really living the dream. :)
MamaFlo,
You have said so well what many of us have thought but were afraid to say!
You go!

Enjoying sex again means there was a time when you didn't? I really can't imagine... There was a short time right after my son was born (almost 16 years ago) when I wasn't really interested in sex, but that was pretty understandable at the time. That period didn't last long, and it's been good since. Sure, there are times when things are busy and we just don't have (make) time, but that doesn't mean I don't want to! With the kids out of the house more and more, well.... ;)
Anna, have you gone through menopause? It does wierdo things to your body and mind and things that you once liked, you may not while this is happening.
"It does wierdo things to your body and mind and things that you once liked, you may not while this is happening."
OK, that part I don't want to hear, but I will take the original post as encouragement that it does get better, should things get all weird somewhere along the line. Please define the "what seemed like forever" part. How long exactly?
