Sexual peak

June 14 2015

Question for anyone: There is a traditional theory that men are supposed to be at their (hormonal) sexual peak at about 18, and decline after that (but quite slowly), while women are apparently at their peak at their late 20's/mid 30's, and can find themselves feeling "constantly horny" (forgive the expression). HOWEVER, many other sources state differently, and that we can reach different sexual primes depending on our maturity, knowledge of sex, freedom of exploration with current partner/s etc. In my experience, many couples seem to be on a high point in their sex lives when their children are older or moved out, and they can begin exploring sex again. And for men, if for some reason they did not have (much) sex when they were younger, they would find a sexual prime later in life. In your expereince, do sexual peaks exist in a physical, hormonal sense? Or can you reach a new sexual "prime" at any age when you have the right partners to explore with?

    I honestly think it depends on each person. Based on their life experiences, medical and health issues, even childhood, religion etc etc.

    Sexually my peak has been in my 40's. I know what I want, how to get it and enjoy! 😉 there were a number of reasons for the change. Physically, a hysterectomy removed a number of medical impediments to enjoying sex for me. I found I started enjoying sex again and my body was responding physically, that's when the squirting started 😍 Secondly, I became far more articulate with my needs, exploring with hubby at home at first. The beauty of it was he is so open minded that anything I suggested or he suggested we have tried. We have evolved further since entering this scene and we haven't t looked back. The freedom of having older kids has also helped in our evolution, to bring us to this point in life where we have an enormous amount of sexual freedom and the confidence to seek out what we need, me especially!

    I agree with Mary. I was having children in my late 20's and early 30's I was beyond exhausted!! I think since I left my marriage, minimal sex and lack of quality really put me off for a long time, BUT I think I have found my mojo again and boy am I enjoying myself...... So I would definately say 40's are it for me, I know what I need and know how to make it happen. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I am insatiable, now in my forties, wanting sex all the time. And as Sugar said, I too was exhausted with babies in my late 20s early 30s. Not to mention the monotony of a marriage with a partner that did not want to try new things, it got boring, like a chore really. Too predictable. Now I am single, I am having so much fun. Men, woman, couples, groups: it's all so exciting. However, I think that can come at any age though given your individual circumstances.

    Do you reckon Don Draper...... was more appealing at 18...... or at 40..... Hormonal drive.... versus appeal..... VERY different things. Consider the way that a higher number of the younger guys in here conduct themselves, versus the slightly older men...... 'nuff said.

    Hasn't changed much, my libido is still very strong. And as I wasn't one to sow my seeds (excuse the term) when young I joined here as I thought it would be good for me to find some enjoyment now I am older. I feel much more comfortable in doing so now than when I was a young fella

    Testosterone is an important factor in sexual arousal among men. So assuming that all things being equal men go through normal puberty, sexual arousal for men will be greatest during late teens/early 20's. After the age of thirty, testosterone levels for men decrease by on average 1% per annum. So while most men as they age may say 'i'm hornier now than I've ever been' or I 'haven't lost any sex drive', it's probably their ego talking. And i'm not talking about the quality of the sexual experience, just the level of arousal. For women, it's far more inconclusive.

    Personally I think it depends on your circumstances,attitude, life style at the time, outside influences( such as a young family, menopause or health) so I can look back and say Ive had a few good sexual peaks, plus a few flatline years.And I know there will be more in my life. So I dont think you only peak once.

    After being virtually celibate for a very very very long time following a long term relationship then being exhausted with work, children and then grand-kids, retirement has brought a new lease of life for me. Having time, freedom and an open mind has opened up a new world of pleasure.

    ...then a few sexually charged sweeties turned that around and away we went... Seriously ' it's all about where you're at in your life.. These days I take my time and I'm more attentive than I was in my teens , 20 , 30 , etc... You only ever get out of what you're prepared to put in... Lazy lovers will lose it quicker than those who get up off their back and participate .. That goes for both sexes...

    I started my adventure 18 months ago... I've always been a sexual person, just trapped and unable to discover myself and what was out there....I now do things for pleasure, my pleasure and the pleasure of others, I've only just started the climb so I'm no where near the peak yet.....💋

    Quoting 'Mischeviouslad' Do you reckon Don Draper...... was more appealing at 18...... or at 40..... Hormonal drive.... versus appeal..... VERY different things. Consider the way that a higher number of the younger guys in here conduct themselves, versus the slightly older men...... 'nuff said. younger guys don't conduct themselves well or men get better sexually with age? And are you referring to yourself when you say 'slightly older'? Why don't you try asking someone like me who has experienced all ages (well up to early 40's once or twice from memory haha), and get a real viewpoint on that. Ask me how nervous I am with a guy in his 40's going down on me, compared to a guy in his 20's, I can tell you without hesitation I have never been comfortable or not tensed up with the older guys doing it, they just seem to hurt me, best lovers and pleasure givers I've had have been in their 20's and have done their research and practiced, unbelievable, so I find your viewpoint a little arrogant. At that age, they want to get it right, they're eager to always be learning, and they're not yet arrogant, they just take it as it comes, no preset agenda, I like that, it's like raw/basement music, same thing, finding it's way but bloody exciting. So don't bag the young guys, they're not always just a pretty picture

    That a lot people (men & women) seem to be peeking at their current age stated. (30's , 40's ) I believe it has a huge amount to do with who you are with at the time, and it can be in your 40's, 50's. 60's 70's or older, depends who you are with. You can be in a poor sexual relationship at anytime, and when you meet the right person, you can maybe keep peaking ?

You can be in a poor sexual relationship at anytime, and when you meet the right person, you can maybe keep peaking ? completely, well said, it's so different for everyone. And to add to what you've said, hormones can play a huge part for women in particular. I know I had a huge hormonal shift after I had an operation, I knew it as I was walking out of the hospital, was constantly horny from that day, my doctor thinks they put the paddles on me, and I think the same way, something happened to change the way my body functioned, absolutely bizarre, but I'm not complaining. The extreme horniness then lead to opening up and pushing the boundaries, everything changed. Not just sexually, but energy, I hit the pavement and haven't looked back, I was a different person from that day, and it wasn't something I thought about or planned, just came from within, I didn't only wake up sexually but in so many other ways, I was happier and more positive. My peak is now hard to predict, on the face of it, I feel like I'm almost peaking but I feel there's so much more I want to do, that how could I be peaking yet, how do we ever know if we're always looking for more, but you're right, so many variables
