You must be talking to or having sex with a different group of women than I've known. I realize from everything I've read that you must be right. It's just not been my experience. So it creates a cognitive dissonance, I suppose. What I read just starts to sound like phoney political correctness after a while. In my personal experience, it's been younger women who seem to be full of flirtiness and daring horniness - young interns coming on to me at work and elsewhere. Never had a woman my own age coming on to me after 40, it's always been just younger ones. And that goes for my wife too - basically zero interest in me after she turned 40.

Because what I keep reading and hearing from people like you never matches my experience, or at least my experience so far.

There are PLENTY of enthusiastically sexually active women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s...


Yeah, and from what I'm reading here, they're all taken - by guys with no libido, ED, or both!

Given your W has never really been into sex with you, I see no reason to think that her age or hormones have affected her current interest in any significant way.


No, she was into it when we were younger, except for the orgasm part and being touched in her private areas.
