  • By sexual prowess do you mean sex drive?

    Some studies show it increases for women as they get older, up to a point. It's more that stress, pregnancy, happiness or dissatisfaction with relationships, etc. might affect things.

    "A new journal article suggests that evolutionary forces also push women to be more sexual, although in unexpected ways. University of Texas psychologist David Buss wrote the article, which appears in the July issue of Personality and Individual Differences, with the help of three graduate students, Judith Easton (who is listed as lead author), Jaime Confer and Cari Goetz. Buss, Easton and their colleagues found that women in their 30s and early 40s are significantly more sexual than younger women. Women ages 27 through 45 report not only having more sexual fantasies (and more intense sexual fantasies) than women ages 18 through 26 but also having more sex, period. And they are more willing than younger women to have casual sex, even one-night stands. In other words, despite the girls-gone-wild image of promiscuous college women, it is women in their middle years who are America's most sexually industrious."

    • I agree with that. Biology pushes women in their 40s because their bodies knows their prime ability to procreate is coming to a close.

    • I hope I don't have a higher libido in my 40s lol. I can barely handle mine now

  • For me is a fact. I had lost total sex drive since looong time ago. I dont get turn on anymore. Well Im not dating or have a boyfriend or seeing anyone anyway. But now with this quarantine and being lock down for who knows how long., Im nto craving sex at any time. and I think I wotn after the crisis is much better. Maybe beacuse I had had such a bad luck with guys since "forever" that sex had become a term that for me is not even essential or important anymore in order to live. There are far more important things than sex. Sex is not really like the number one priority that a person need to survive.

    • I do believe certain partners could re-spark that drive so it is not as hopeless to prioritize that back up a couple notches.

    • @standingUP I have any had any partners ever in my life so for me the term re-spark does not apply

    • @standingUP I meant I have not had any boyfriend, dates before ever in my life

  • Absolute myth. My woman (she's a bit older) and I have wild passionate sex everyday we are together and are sexually energized over the distance. It is truly amazing the desire we posses more of now than when were with others in the past. When we are awake we are all over each other PDA and anywhere we can think of.
    I work nights. This morning coming home crawled into bed with her. We made love three times before getting ready for the day. which was early afternoon. We went shopping hugging and caressing on the drive and at the stores. We stopped at a lake and made love on the dock before we heard traffic coming close by. We went home made love again. Then she decided to surprise me at work (I work night shift at a hotel) we just had hot passionate sex and she is sleeping while I am preparing the morning wake up of guests. RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT had some time to check this site out and Now think this was the perfect question to answer. My Sex Life s better than ever.

    • Sounds like a lot of this is dependent on how into your partner you are. How long have you been together? When you first met, did you have a vibe that the sex would be that incredible?

    • @Pistolpete90 We knew right away this was a going to be a match made in heaven. Both of us have had partners that were unfulfilling in desire and passion. So we were pent up and eager to express our hunger. We are not spring chickens so we know not think that this is fresh bliss. It is a starving hunger being fed finally. we knew each other for a spell.

    • This is really refreshing to read. Not many people experience this. Congrats to you both.

  • The presence of the "little blue pill" and many herbal extracts in many cultures of many races (like ginseng, "tongkat ali", "mandrake", ...) shows that it's true, especially for man.

  • Giving with older men is heavenly

  • Mum it has a lot to do with surcomstans. If you don't us it you loss it!!! But I fill it gets harder to chase not want.

  • I cannot & will not speak for others but that is certainly not the case for me & my husband. So, 'B' for "Myth" is what I voted for.

    • Agree 100%, our relationship is only getting better as the years go by. Happy that you feel the same.

    • @Claireluvskaren: Thank you. :) More power to you both as well.

  • It depends on a person. Sex drive can diminish time by time not because of aging, but because of middle age crisis, stress, depression, problems with partner, etc. In some cases it can be because of lateral diseases person gets with age. Social pressure is another factor, because some people think that it's not decent for older generation to have sex (very stupid opinion, tbh).

  • What do you mean by prowess?
    The equipment works better when you're young, but with age you know better what to do with it.

  • Depends what you mean by “sexual prowess.”

  • If we're talking seventies or eighties, sure. But earlier? No way.

  • Eventually the male libido declines but a guy in good health can be quite virile into his 60's. Older guys may be more patient and attentive but of course some never learn.

  • I think it peaks at a certain point and it is much later for women, in my extensive experience older women have much greater sexual prowess.

  • Absolutely a myth for most actually if not all. As I see it, it doesn’t diminish being single. Perhaps for those in long term relationships as I had been in... not because of boredom though. Perhaps due to separate priorities? Stresses? Too much comfort in denying? Having been married for 20+ years, I’ve experienced both. Of course being single at a very young and now an older age.

  • C. It changes.
    Even now, I am re-discovering fingering as main event and sometimes dispense with intercourse in favor of mutual oral and 69 to finish.

  • It depends on the individual and many other factors, women actually hit their sexual peak around their late twenties or early thirties, whereas for men it's very early on.

  • Everything diminishes with age to varying degrees. Nobody continues to improve or maintain their peek in anything indefinitely.

  • Glad I haven't reached that stage yet lol. I feel pretty horny pretty much every day and my parts seem to be fully functional haha.

  • Lawd it'd be weird to see some 100 year-olds doing some nasty shit. XD

  • Skll improves, depravity increases as socialised inhibitions fade, but the repeating rifle turns into a muzzle loader. 😫

  • not i nmy case for women i know that idea is reversed.

  • For men if you exercise and stay active physically and eat healthy, you’ll be good to go. If sex is boring that’s all on your relationship 🤷🏾‍♂️

    • I’m not sure about women

  • Old people can't get it up as often as young people. That's a fact prove by boner science.

  • Yes, it's a fact. Women sex drive drops radically with menopause, while that of men drops gradually. Some people say sex has no age but that's not the reality. The best age for sex is between 18 to 30 when the body is in its peak.
