Today, Nina explores sex by the numbers. Is a woman truly better in bed at 40 than she is at 20? The answer may surprise you.
While youth has its benefits and age has its virtues, there's no need to look at your sex life as a road that heads uphill only once and then slips into oblivion.
A woman's sex life—as well as a man's—does change over time, but that does not mean there are no high points to look forward to down the road.

Wonderful article! As a woman over 60 whose sex life is much better now than it ever was when I was younger, I appreciate you de-bunking the myth that women peak at a certain age, and then it is just downhill from there.
This is true in my experience
I am 42 and about six months ago hormones hit like a tsunami. I am horny all of the time. My doctor says I am going into Pre or Perimenopause, what ever it is it is fantastic. I finally feel that my hormones match my mental desires. My female friends are in shock, most of them have been complaining about losing their drives and I do not remember being this horny even in my 20s.
Anyway wonderful article, you are so right about feeling comfortable with yourself and knowing yourself helping as you age.
My husband always told me that when I hit 40 that I would become hornier. He said he'd always heard that men were at their peak when they were younger (teens and early 20s) and that women were at their peak in their 40s, as far as libido goes. It seems that, at least with me, this cliche is true.
I like the analogy of a mountain range because I have found that my libido has sometimes dipped, sometimes risen, and sometimes remained at a plateau for a long period of time.
