    Does sex craving's increase with age in women?

    First and foremost , I would like to say I'm sorry for the lack of proper grammer in the title. I couldn't think of how to word the title. Anyhow, I noticed that lately I seem to be more curious in sex and think about it a lot more. A close friend of mine keeps joking saying this is called sexual frustration! Can it really be? I've always thought that word was a myth of some kind. I've been quite hidden away from the world for quite sometime. My last so called encounter? was Nov, 2006. First and worst , experience of my life. Long story short ; I havent needed , wanted or tried to want it in so long. But this past few month's I'd say I feel "horny". But I thought if you stop doing it or thinking about it? it'll go away. Is this a female hormone thing? i donno been tempted to ask my doctor if its a sexual disfuntion or just me? But every single time i'm about to open my mouth? i freeze because i think its ackward and he might have a laugh attack.

    Ladies , any word of advice for a 28 year old confused woman? Thank you!

    Having sexual desire is a perfectly normal behavior. It's not a sexual dysfunction. Many things would fuel desire, everything from time of the month to health status. Don't think of it as a dysfunction. Embrace it

      Thanks for the reply! I find it out of the norm thats why it confuses me. But if you say this is NORMAL then i'll take your word for it.

        There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Quite the opposite actually. It would be considered dysfunction, in my opinion, to be a 28 year old woman who did NOT have a sex drive.

        I'm sorry you had a bad first experience. Those are never easy to get past. But keep in mind that sex is not a bad thing...it's a healthy and natural thing that when done as a responsible adult can be very rewarding and enjoyable.

        You're a normal healthy vibrant 28 year old. Enjoy it!!

          Actually, when my Mom hit 40, her sex drive went to that of a 20 year old; can't get enough. So with age it can get better.

            It varies. In my opinion, even some teenage girls can have very high sex drives with all of the hormones going on. As women get older, they learn what they really like and that enhances their drive. When you're young, you may just go along with what other people think you should do and you may not know what you like sexually.

              Before I met my husband, at 19, my sex drive was zero. After I met him I couldn't get enough until I was 20.5. Then something happened and my drive went to zero and is still zero at 22.

              I sure hope it will increase with age and I'm sure my husband hopes so too.
