No Worries of Unwanted Pregnancy
Let’s face it, half the fun of sex goes out of the window if you spend the days wondering whether you've made a mistake. And heaven forbid if your periods are delayed by a few days. It means countless hours spent on thinking about possible pregnancy and impending abortion. However, post menopause, you don’t have to worry about unwanted pregnancy. It is freedom like never before and the best time to enjoy guilt and worry free sex.
Fewer Interruptions
Women in their forties still have to look after their children, make school lunches, help do homework, etc. However, after 50, you will find your bedroom sessions being less interrupted by demands made by your children since they are more independent now and are probably having a good time somewhere else with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
Frequently asked questions
You Are Not the Clueless Babe Anymore
One of the reasons why sex is better after 50 is because older women know what they want and they know how to get it too. With age, you find yourself getting less inhibited and more aware of your own sexuality. You are more comfortable with who you are, instead of obsessing about who you would like to be. This form of self confidence goes a long way in improving sexual performance.
Willing to Communicate
Carrying forward from the earlier thought, women who are more comfortable with themselves are also more willing to experiment sexually. And I am not just talking about trying out different positions. Older women are able to communicate their desires to their partners better, thereby actively participating in achieving sexual gratification.
Your Desire for Sex May Increase
While a lot of experts claim that sexual urge dips in women over 50, that isn’t always true. There is proof that desire can resurge once you stop taking birth control pills. Besides, even if your sexual desire does go south, there are ways to fix that. I am not talking about traditional hormone replacement therapies that use progestin and estrogen to raise hormone levels. Such treatments are not recommended due to risks to the heart. You could inquire about hormone therapies that make use of testosterone, which are considered a safer option.

Lower Stress Levels
Not to say that women in their 50s are stress-free, but with children grown up and independent, stability on the professional front and security on the financial side, you are less stressed than when you were in your twenties, thirties or forties. With fewer worries on your mind, your sexual desire is bound to go up.
