Ok, well. Prl more detail than you actually want... but, YOU ASKED FOR IT.
The infamous "cougar" horniness is actually a side effect of perimenopause (= the gentle hormonal "slide" that, all too soon, become the avalanche known as menopause).
... so, you've UNDERestimated the peak age bracket.
In most women, perimenopause starts between ages 38-43. That's when the stereotypically "feminine" hormones (estradiol**, progesterone, etc) -- along with testosterone, and a whole host of other hormones that aren't worth mentioning rn -- start to decline, as we approach menopause (::shudder:: gawd that word scares me).
During the FIRST couple years of perimenopause, all of these hormones are declining, but, TESTOSTERONE and ESTRADIOL are DECLINING MORE SLOWLY than the others.
The result is a relative SURPLUS of these two, relative to all the others. (It's a **relative** surplus. The absolute levels are still declining.)
Long story made short:
• Surplus TESTOSTERONE tends to DIVERSIFY women's sex drive -- and DIRECT it toward MORE OBVIOUSLY "MASCULINE" MEN.
if you're familiar with the changes that MOST women experience **around ovulation** -- the time of month when testosterone is highest, in younger women -- these are the same changes. If you're not familiar, then... have at it:
www.livescience.com/...ertile-women-manly-men.html
AND
• Surpus ESTRADIOL ("estrogen") tends to INTENSIFY women's ORGASMS and their DESIRE ONCE THEY'RE INTIMATE.
... in other words... That extra estrogen doesn't makes us "hornier" IN GENERAL -- but, lemme tell ya, when we **do** get with a HOT boy, it's gna make that sex absolutely mind-blowing. <3
... yep.
TL;DR:
At the start of perimenopause -- which means, roughly, MY age ahah -- we undergo hormonal changes that...
... Make us feel attracted to MORE boys -- and to MORE MASCULINE boys;
AND
... Make us WANT those boys soooo badddd. And make us get off soooo hardddd when we get 'em.
#mmhmm
COROLLARY:
If a woman is married to a gentle, sensitive, "provider" type... then, staying monogamous to him **at my age** is an act of incomparable heroism and sacrifice. Srsly, she should get a medal of honor.
Because EVERYTHING inside us -- for at least a few YEARS -- is **screaming** at us to go find young, hot, rugged boys and hit it. And hit it and hit it and hit it some more.

**There are several different estrogens, but, when non-scientists SAY "estrogen", they're talking about estradiol (the most bioactive of all the estrogens).
On top of all that -- Women my age just don't give nearly as many fucks. "Uninhibited". Glorious. Call it what you want. But -- partly because we're wiser and more self-aware, partly because we're just so damn horny -- 40ish is the time when LOTS of women finally rise above all the awful repression of everything about our sexuality and our desires, and learn that it's actually OK to **want** what we want -- and to GET what we want. That's a factor, too. (Sadly, many women's sexuality has been beaten down so much, for so long, that they'll **never** be able to overcome that sense of shame and guilt. Ladies -- Honor these women, by saying a big fat "fuck you" to everyone who's told you that ladies shouldn't, and that good girls don't, and all that... and then #getitgrlz <3
A good reason a lot of guys date much older women. Women today have learned to not care so much what is "proper" by society's standards. Which is great. When I was in my 20's, some women were chasing after guys that could satisfy their needs, but most were afraid of being negatively labeled and held it in. I dated one older woman that was all over me, and another that told me she liked me but that would not be proper. Guys in a relationship with a woman reaching that age need to stay healthy, get enough sleep, and work out at the gym, because if they don't, they will not be able to keep their partner satisfied, and that leads to trouble.

The libido of the average female will generally peak close to the age of 30. Having said that, giving more attention to men is not directly related to libido.. Women who are older are more confident in themselves, know what they want in a man as well as sexually, and give less fucks about potentially receiving any negative judgement for expressing their desires.
What causes the libido to boost?
Hormone levels that continue changing throughout a woman's life from puberty-menopause, at which point they dip and result in a pretty typical dip in libido thereafter.
so far, i'm only a couple months into my 30s and nothing has changed.
that said, women in their 20s are young and fun and want to party, whereas older women are more interested in settling down/long-term relationships.
that, and a woman's libido supposedly peaks at 35ish. but i'm not there yet so it's just a rumour afaik.
I think that the physical factors in libido probably favor the younger women. However, women who are 30-39 have much more confidence, have lost many of their inhibitions, and are more assertive in assuring that they get pleased. The older women are DEFINITELY more fun!
No idea. Never been with nor cared to be with anybody.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I can't speak for the 30+ lol but I don't know everybody diff
It' because those people have much more experience and know what to do/say in most situations. I'm only going to be 22 soon, still a virgin. I have a lot to learn! :D
I think they have a lower one generally. Many men always complain about not getting enough sex and it's when they're married so after 30.
Biological clock ticking.
What do you mean?
There are older women who are completely bonkers in terms of their libido. And that's probably because of their biological clock.
i think it's a matter of experience and having time to figure out what you like
age doesn't matter hormones change
