I'm 34. And I'm finding out that all the stories that I'd always heard about women hitting their sexual peak in their mid-thirties is true.

Damn. It's driving me nuts! Especially when those "geez, I sure would like to get some right about now" moments hit me in the middle of the day, at work. Then I've got to just bite the bullet until I get home, then hope the kids will believe me when I tell them it's bedtime. Doesn't matter that it's 6 pm. They can't tell time yet.

Share with me, Sexually Peaking Doper Women! Unload that excess estrogen!

and you men had better just back up, right now, you hear me? Just back up!

It's not a peak! It's a new state of being! I've been in my 'peak' for about a decade now.

Oh, yeah, baby.

Well, I don't know about peaking. But as far as sex getting better as I get older, well, hell yeah! And yeah, my drive is pretty high, too.

And, at least so far, I haven't had any complaints from Oicu812, either. Wait, he just told me he's getting naked and getting in bed.

Gotta go.

plateau

Once I got started I never really stopped. Took a few breaks for the babies but that still didn't square my heels, they are still very round and I'm easy to trip.

Sucks right now though as my husband is in another time zone.

Damn. I knew something about what I was typing was familiar! See what this estrogen does to a girl? Makes me forget how to use the search function, it does!

I think I am low on estrogren.

Crap.

Maybe I should see a doc about this non peaking situation.

I'm 32. I wouldn't say that I'm peaking...I'm just frustrated in general because I don't have a partner, nor have I had one in a very long time.

Had my 30th birthday just a few weeks ago, and it was like someone had flipped a switch.

Can't get enough, I tell you.

I'm frightened that it will get worse. I'm going to need a stable of men to take care of my every need.

39 here and I agree with FCM I am enjoying this plateau! Here's to hoping for at least another ten years of it.

And you 30 YO's, we'll talk again when you hit 34 - 36. It is like a whole new world out there.

I've got a bit to look forward to....

I'm 26. Will be 27 at the end of the week. I went through a year or so of not getting it, didn't care. Now that I have the Raven, I'm getting it. Lots of it. Just not as much as I want!

Alas, every time I'm home visiting my parents I have to listen to their bed-squeakies for hours on end, so I have full expectations that I'll continue this sort of behavior well into my 50's, at least. I'd better start feeding the Raven vitamins if he's going to keep up...

I'm 31.

My SO is 43.

He is afraid. Very, very afraid. Because, if I haven't hit my sexual peak yet, he may need to hire a small team of experts to assist him when I do....

Hey, as long as I get to be in on that interview process!

So does all this imply that jarbaby hasn't reached her sexual peak yet?

HOLY FLURKIN' SCHNIT!

Note to self: Take up a collection in order to send jarhubby several cases of Gatorade in a few years.

Any Other Doper Women Sexually Peaking Right Now?

*making list... checking twice*

What’s this peaking business anyway? Imagine being in a constant state of extreme sexual readiness for 17 years and counting. It's just one step away from death by priapism.

Well, I'm a 37-y/o man, and I can't help peeking anytime a 30-something y/o woman bends over, stands up, walks by, smiles, . . .

As far as peaking goes, I'm in about my 20th year of that and eager for my slightly younger wife to catch up. What a pleasant anticipation!

If I could I would do nothing but have sex all day long but I've got to pay the bills somehow and prostitution isn't for me. The only dry spell I've ever had was when I was married. Before him and after my divorce I've been getting it on a regular basis and with my current SO it's averaging between 5-10 times a week! If that's not peaking I don't know what is... and I'm only 26. I can't imagine what my sex drive will be like when I'm in my 30s.

I'm 30.

I've slowly been climbing towards something, for about a year now. I haven't peaked yet but ... soon.

I was in the midst of a peak and fell down the valley of barren waistland (yes I meant that.) I am only 33 and haven't had sex in a year and two months.

I'm 36 and SO in my sexual prime. It is not possible to have enough sex. This started about five years ago and it just keeps getting better.

I'm 37, and my peak has apparently passed.

I love my husband dearly, but sex just doesn't matter anymore. I suppose it mattered when I was looking for somebody to love, but now that I have him, I just don't care about it. He loves me, I love him, we have a stable relationship. Sex just ain't important.

Yikes! I just turned 40, and the hoodie-haddies don't show any indication of "peaking". It seems to be a continuously arcing thrust...

I am not a doper woman. I am not sexually peaking right now.

At least I sure hope not!
