By contrast I spoke to a number of people who found their 50's to be the most sexually liberating time of their lives.Just before my menopause symptoms kicked in, I suddenly had a spirt of sexual energy that I could barely control. It was like I was in my early twenties again. Although I made some bad mistakes with men at that time, it was definitely fun.
Now in my fifties, I've started to rediscover my partner and our sex life. Even brought sex aids. Things improved dramatically.
I honestly reaching 50 turned my sexual world upside down. I was bored with my husband and we hadn't had sex at all for several years, but didn't want to end my marriage, which was good in many ways. I suppose I was panicking a bit about ageing. At the exact time I met a young man, who really got my hormones going. He made me feel like I was a teenager. I feel guilty about that age difference and there were all kinds of problems between us. But the sex was so fantastic I didn't care. I realized that even being menopausal doesn't have to stop you having the best the wildest experience ever.
Turning 50 has really freed me from all that body consciousness stuff. When I was younger in my thirties and forties I use to make sure my man never saw me naked from behind, now I say to myself he's not with me because of my looks, so I can relax and leave the light on.
