She-Groks Only.......... cuz it works different for us page 174

Yep. Generally gets better.

You're less worried about getting pregnant. The kids are starting to leave the house (though they do come back - ask me how I know) so you can be loud or even do it in the living room! You tend to be more secure in who you are, and that makes you less shy in the bedroom (or the kitchen).

Yeah, definitely better.

digital_ruse --- good for you for having such a great outlook! I'm sure it translates into how you present yourself and others can see you glowing!

As for sex drive............ honey, you're in your PRIME! 30 is the magic number for us ladies! You'll stay pretty much where you are until the hormones start to go south at menopause. ENJOY! Hopefully there is a Mr. Ruse who will be benefiting as well!

Thanks! Very true on all accounts

I'll be 30 in a few months and I hope I experience this! Decreasing stress after we move will hopefully help as well. But to hear that early 30s are a good age for sex drive is nice.

It's true what they say!
The only downside being men don't get the same increase (as far as I can tell)


My only concern now is that I might end up waiting too long for kids and be out of luck. But we aren't ready yet, and both agree that if it doesn't happen for us we are OK with either it just being us or adoption. Though I think I have a few more years before I really need to worry about it.

I couldn't imagine DH wanting sex more! With a 2 and 4yo that snuggle all day I am usuallu touched out by evening. Trying to soak in their snuggles before they don't want to be in the same room as me anymore though!

I totally agree, being more comfortable in your own skin is also a turn on!

Just be careful hubby doesn't start not wanting to be in the same room with you! :/ Save some lovin' for you baby daddy!

Ok - since we're on the subject............ when I was younger I had a very healthy sex drive. Hubby and were married at the age of 41 and 3 times a week was pretty normal. That went on until all my hormones dried up when I went head first into menopause! Now........ I might think about it during the day - but by the time bedtime rolls around I just want to go to sleep. I feel like this huge peice of my personality has gone MIA!! I talked to my doc about it she said - "yea, its really tough for a woman after menopause. Maybe try erotica?" So............ anyone else post-menopausal and suffering from NO sex drive? Its gotten just a smidgen better lately, but not enough!!

Speak for yourself, gf! I'm 50, post menopausal and still kickin' it.
