The 30 Year Old Sexual
Peak

old female, peaking |
I recently had the unpleasant
experience of turning thirty much to my chagrin.
However, I will forever allege that this was not
my fault. Time was moving much too swiftly and
although I tried my best to stay in the sexy and
swinging twenties, I lost my grip and fell flat
on my face in my thirties. I am led to believe
that I will not be allowed to return. The horror.
The horror.
Aside from my momentary
lapses of self pity, there are some great benefits
to being a woman in her thirties. As you probably
guessed from the title of this article, I am now
in my sexual prime. It seems like a cruel joke.
Guys can't think about anything but the tent pole
in their pants while in their teens and early
twenties. But by the time women get to the same
stage, the men are calling in reinforcements of
Viagra. I am sure you have all heard about this
before. Women hit their sexual prime at thirty......or
do they? I almost half expected to become some
raging ball of hormones as if I was pushed on
by a button when I turned thirty. I was looking
forward to it. To my dismay, no such transformation
has occurred.
Shedding light on this curiosity
of mine was Dr. Sandor Gardos, a doctor in sexual
education. According to Dr. Gardos, the notion
that women hit their sexual peak at 30 is very
misleading. You will find many websites and articles
on the very subject talking about how women get
their groove on and peak at 30, or 35 while others
say 40. But if you are talking about a hormone
flux, this is simply not true. Men and women develop
the same hormones at the same time: puberty. The
only reason why women seem so much more interested
at a later age is because we were taught NOT to
be interested in sex when we were kids. If you
experimented with sex like the boys did, you would
be labeled the town Jezebel. Only when women mature
are they able to feel more comfortable talking
about and practicing sex. They finally open up
and begin to feel normal about desiring sex.
Then it becomes a whole
new world for women. The reason why people argue
about the age of the sexual peak in women is because
it varies for each women. It might take some women,
for example, longer to learn how to orgasm. But
when each woman finally feels comfortable with
her body and the virtues of sex, it just might
be like hitting puberty for her, especially if
she had always lived a reserved or conservative
life. This can be a great time in a woman's life;
a true sexual awakening. And if you measure a
sexual peak by interest level, then you can say
that she has hit her prime. On the other hand,
there are some women who go wild and crazy in
their twenties and never give a thought to those
societal messages, i.e. “Good Girls Don't”. All
things considered, these girls may not experience
this sudden surge of sexual prowess at the 35
year mark. They have already experienced it all.
Ahem. But not me, of course. I am an angel.
If there are any young guys
out there who are tempted to seduce an older woman
just because she may be in her sexual prime and
easily lured by an open invitation, you may want
to think again. However, it may interest all men
and women to know that according to a recent publication
in the Oxford Journals, women do experience a
subtle phase of heat on a monthly schedule. Mid-month
on her cycle to be exact. During this time, women
are shown to be more attracted to androstenone
(a pheromone like sweat substance), are more attracted
to symmetrical and masculine faces and more attracted
to the subject of sex. Even as basic as this is,
its still fun to talk about. In the same journal,
I also uncovered a freaky fun fact. The word for
heat, Estrus, comes from a Greek word 'oistrus'
which means Gadfly. Literally, it means 'in a
frenzied state' because when the gadflies would
buzz around cattle, they would drive the cattle
into a frenzied state which resembled the same
state they go into when they wanted to mate. So
when scientists refer to estrus in a female, remember
that this concept originated from cows.
