    How’s sex in a 30 year old marriage?

    I wonder how is the sex in the life of a couple
    that has been married for thirty years.
    (assuming they still love and respect each other)
    With the kids, mortgages, hormone decline,
    receding hair lines, weight gaining etc…
    How is your experience and what have you heard
    from friends, relatives...

    Will you accept a reply from someone that been in a 27 year marriage? If so, the sex is great, slower, longer, more intense than before, less frequent but as satisfying none-the-less. We know each others favourite positions, moves, touches, strokes, likes and dislikes, we can experiement when and where we want -- no kids in the house.
    That which we forget may as well never really happened.

      Will you accept the comments, based on first hand conversations with the very active participants, who have been married 58 years? Still hold hands, flirt, and other various expressions of their love for one another like people half their age?

      Both of my parents say it takes longer, what doesn't at their ages, but there's more to enjoy and more time to enjoy it. Their kids have been gone for thirty years so they've had many years to practice and prepare for what's to come. I don't get the nitty gritty details, don't care to hear them either, but I know my parents, at their ages are as active as they can be when it comes to intimacy and have been for over 50 years.

            We will have been married for 30 years in Jan, 2012. Our sex is better than ever! We have learned so much about each other and communicate much better than we did even 10 years ago. We have been separated off and on for the past 9 months because I am working in Afghanistan and have taken this opportunity to tell each other ways to continue to improve on what is already great sexually. We have tried new things and are open to each others needs and desires. I believe we have become more intimate in our love making but also love to have what we call "hot sex" nights. I anticipate to be just like Seeker Advice said about her parents.
