Mature Women; Aging and Sexually Empowered

Despite societal norms that suggest otherwise, mature women are reclaiming their sexual power and enjoying healthy sex lives. This article delves into how these women challenge stereotypes, proving that aging is not a barrier to intimacy and sexual satisfaction.

Aging Women and Sexual Confidence

To clarify the meaning of the term ‘mature,’ let’s consider this description to mean a woman who is over 40 years old and entering perimenopause and older. Perimenopause is a natural progression within a woman’s body, signaling the end of her reproductive years with a marked decrease in estrogen.

During perimenopause, fluctuating hormone levels may cause physical and emotional symptoms, which can result in a shift in sexual confidence and perception of one’s self. And given that pop culture does nothing to celebrate these natural developments, women sometimes feel pushed to the side once they can no longer reproduce.

But contrary to mainstream media, self-assurance and self-esteem has been shown to  increase with age, and so can sexual confidence.

Enhancing Sexual Satisfaction for Mature Women Over 50

When you consider the factors that foster a healthy and satisfying sex life for women, some of these components decline during and after menopause. With decreasing hormones and other life pressures, aging women may find it challenging to embrace their libidos and enjoy gratifying sexual experiences.

“After menopause, libido declines, and changes in our bodies can make it difficult to get aroused, painful to have intercourse, and impossible to climax.” But this midlife transition is not a life sentence for bad sex!

Women and their intimate partners can work together to create an environment of trust, lust, patience, and fulfillment. Below are suggestions to enhance sexual satisfaction for mature women.

1. Incorporating sex toys, such as vibrators, to increase clitoral stimulation.
2. Investing in a quality lube. Water-based lubes are paired best with most sex toys, although silicone lube is longer-lasting.
3. Taking extra time with various forms of foreplay to increase arousal.
4. Honest communication about what feels good. Pretending to enjoy an activity only takes women out of their sexual experiences and leads to confusion with their partner.
5. Trying new sexual adventures, such as having sex in different places or exploring new positions.
6. Considering if hormone replacement therapy (often in the form of creams or gels that you rub in your skin) may be right for you to help combat vaginal dryness and other menopausal symptoms.  

How Can Mature Women Rediscover Sexual Confidence Post-Menopause?

Since our biggest sex organ is our brain, possessing self-confidence can surely boost a woman’s perception of herself. When a woman feels confident, she radiates positive, sensual energy that can be highly attractive to her partner.

However, the symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause can often work against a woman’s self-esteem. Conditions such as weight gain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and vaginal dryness can cause a negative shift in one’s confidence.

But there are methods of increasing one’s sexual self-confidence that will boost libido and will help to provide emotional regulation and mood stability.

• Physical exercise, especially strength training. “Muscle mass declines at a rapid rate during the perimenopausal years, making strength training even more important over the age of 40.”
• Embody your feminine energy. This can be as simple as indulging in a luxurious bubble bath, wearing sexy lingerie, or spritzing yourself with a sensual fragrance.
• Consider your diet. Certain nutrients or supplements can help increase energy and satiety, assist with sleep challenges, helping you feel revitalized, especially during perimenopause.
• Surround yourself with a supportive and sex-positive community. If you are a mature woman who is looking to explore erotic fantasies, immerse yourself in a non-judgmental and encouraging environment, such as Oasis Aqualounge.
