Guest - bill-z-bub Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 I've been "flirting" with an older woman. She is in her early 50's so probably past menopause. What does this mean for her sexually? I know there are resources on the internet but wanted to get some first-hand feedback.
whichwayisup Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 She may not be past menopause, so don't assume that...One of my neighbours is 54 and she still hasn't hit that stage of her life yet. I'm 35 years old, so I can't answer your question for you seeing as I'm not at the point in my life (yet)! BUT, I can assume that sex is just as good, probably better because of no worries of pregnancy etc...Plus, the older women get, the more comfortable they are with their own bodies. Just be careful of STD's!
Bill-z-bub Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Yes, I can see the "no pregnancy" worries as being an advantage. I'm just worried about desire, and when/if it goes away. Sex is not everything, but i still think of it as an important part of a relationship. I am early 40's and thought she was too when we first started talking. Finding out she is early 50's is the only thing so far that makes me hesitate. Should that make me hesitate?
Guest Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I'm just worried about desire, and when/if it goes away. .... Should that make me hesitate? No. Losing sex drive isn't a given. Menopause makes some women a lot hornier because they feel freer. And there's treatments for people who do lose drive. At some point, I imagine you two will have a discussion about life that includes 'the importance of sex in a relationship' where you can find out her attitude towards having and keeping a healthy sex drive.
whichwayisup Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 If you really like her, go for it and don't worry about the future ... The same thing could happen (or not) if you were into a woman the same age as you. Take a chance!

I know some ladies in their 50s who complain that guys their age and older can't get it up or keep it up anymore. She probably is interested in you because she wants sex and can't find any among her peers.

She'll probably be as lovable in ten years as she is now. Actually, she has more to worry about. I know some ladies in their 50s who complain that guys their age and older can't get it up or keep it up anymore.

I did.
