Time posted an interesting article recently titled The Science of Cougar Sex: Why Older Women Lust. After I finished laughing hysterically at the title, I decided to read this scientific study.
In a nutshell, the group of researchers feel women between the ages of 27 to 45 have more sex than women 18 to 26 because our eggs are old, decrepit and on the verge of extinction at any moment i.e. menopause. So, our inate desire to procreate compels us to work overtime trying to get these sickly little bastards fertilized before the clock runs out while our younger cougars-in-waiting have sex far less because it's easier to fertilize their youthful, fresh abundant supply of eggs.
Well, I'm so sorry but my recent love making sessions don't have a darn thing to do with fertilizing any eggs. And although this may be correct on some psychological level....my physical reasons scream....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I think maturity, being very comfortable with my body, knowing what I want and don't want and being able to "truly" enjoy sex is the reason I'm so downright lustful!
As a young woman, I spent a lot of time planning sex. Since I wanted kids, a lot of the sex my husband and I had was centered around my most fertile periods and often was motivated by that and that alone.
On the flip side of that coin, after the kids arrived, sex had to be scheduled around them. Trying to get hot and steamy with a toddler barging in screaming for a sippy cup refill is not my idea of enjoyable sex. Or working 12 long hours....getting home and finally relaxing...only to be reminded (usually by a stiff prod) that tonight is date night....ugh!
Now that the kids are older it's time for me.
With the kids out of the house or at least old enough to be away from home (overnight slumber parties, etc) I'm free to be me and explore without risk of interruption.
And with NO husband...I can finally stop faking those freakin' headaches!!!!
