Sex As We Mature
I don't know about you but S-E-X was not a word used when I was a child, at least not one that I heard in my home. If you are an aging "baby boomer" the situation was probably the same in your house. Most parents just avoided discussing the topic like it was the plague.
We had to find things out on our own. And boy, did we! The whole attitude and openness about sex changed in the 60's, when "free love" became a common phrase. But this new attitude came at the right time for our generation.
Sex is a healthy part of any relationship and we embraced that concept. It wasn't something "dirty", but something that we experienced with someone we love. It's a pleasurable act and why would we want the pleasure to stop as we age. We don't have to. We know what makes our partner feel good and they know what makes us feel good. This is great benefit of having sex when you age.
Men, as well as women felt the same urges. Although men supposedly thought about sex all the time, women were thinking the same thing only less obvious. Our urges now seem to lean more towards that comfortable chair to watch TV and when sex does come to mind, we weigh whether it's really worth the effort.
Of course it's worth the effort! Do you like the feeling of warmth and comfort of having intercourse? Well that's not all there is in having that warm and comfortable relationship with you spouse or significant other. Spending time together without "worrying" that you might have to have sex if you get too close is so very important. Who knows, this may be the catalyst that you need in your marriage. It should be fun and enjoyable for both of you.
Your life has changed since the early days and so has your sex drive. You are comfortable in your life and have now become complacent with your sex life. You've raised your family and could very well be taking care of your aging parents. Sex is the last thing on your mind. You're not a teenager anymore, but that doesn't mean that the sex has to stop all together, it just doesn't have the priority it used to.
Don't get me wrong, we should all enjoy having sex, but it just doesn't control our lives as much as it used to. We can do other things together that we both enjoy and our love for one another is stronger now then it ever was. Enjoy the time you have together, in and out of bed (or the sofa or kitchen counter if you're the adventurous kind!). Have fun, enjoy life and if sex is what you want, then go for it!
