Sex gets better with age

AH, how I love to read stories about sex improving with age.

It is all about quality over quantity and that quality can be some leap – at least for women, according to one of my favourite sexperts Tracey Cox.

Darling Tracey has delivered the wonderful news that women will have more orgasms as they get older! Well, it’s about time we started to have as much fun as the men.

And, as men get older? Tracey made the unremarkable observation that men are stimulated by visual images. Hey, that’s the same for men of all ages, isn’t it? Tracey was not clear whether the men are stimulated by the sight of their same-age mates or their imaginings of more nubile models. Now, let me guess …

Anyway, the good news for women is that 90 per cent past 30 regularly experience orgasm, compared to just 23 per cent of younger women.

That is despite frequency of bedroom action dropping from an average 112 times a year for 18 to 29 year olds to 69 (the magic number!) times a year after 40.

Oh, well, you can’t have everything. And there would be many of you old devils who get fired up much more than a mere 69 times a year, especially as a growing number of us have repartnered.

Some of us in our 50s are in new relationships and, while we might not be bonking like we would have been as 25 year olds in love, we are giving it a good damn try.

It all comes down to the theme of this site – use it or lose it.

But do be careful.  It can be embarrassing if you have to take time off work because you have done your back in being over-enthusiastic between the sheets. And what would our children say? They’d be jealous for a start!

Don’t shout it from the rooftops

Now, if you can’t make a noise during sex in middle age, when can you?

Poor Caroline Cartwright, a 47 year old Englishwoman has been sent to jail for making too much noise during lovemaking.

Her nosy, and no doubt sexually-frustrated neighbours, complained about her shouting and screaming as she and her husband were having a good time – and now she is headed for jail because she breached the court order which had banned her from making any more noise.

You can’t keep a bad woman down, it seems. Good on you Caroline.

But reading this has frightened me a bit, especially as my partner has suggested he gag me during sex. Well, I don’t mind gagging occasionally – but I took it the wrong way. I got it when he started tearing up old sheets into long strips and had a sinister gleam in his eye.

Honestly, what is the point of keeping sexually active in your senior years if you can’t shout it from the rooftops  – or at least from your bedpost?

And, remember folks, you want to be shouting in ecstasy rather than agony. So keep the old bods moving and grooving!
