Older women should reclaim their sexuality!

At a conference dealing with women’s sexuality several “experts” found that in order for older women to shed misconceptions about their own sexuality in society and amongst themselves, they must begin to talk about sex. It is a matter of health!
This is what they concluded at the conference…
Older women need to talk about their sexuality with each other if they want to shatter existing stereotypes and overcome the lack of information about seniors and sex.
According to one specialist, the central myth surrounding older women is that they have no sexual desire, that they are “washed-up after they have kids.”
Nedelman said older women are often confused about how to interpret their sexual desire. As many as 14 per cent of women over 50 experience an increase in their sex drive, she said, but many figure there must be something wrong with them.
“Older women need to reclaim their own sexuality,” she said.

They also concluded that social constructions of beauty affect feelings of sexiness for women in the later half of there lives. Another factor is the increased pressure on sex (and being sexual, sexy, etc) due to the proliferation of viagra.
So it say it LOUD. I AM SEXY! It is not a surprise that in a culture that puts more emphasis on the sexual prowess of men while constructing a narrative of the “ideal” sexy woman, that getting older becomes a no-sexy zone. The cultural belief of sexiness is totally linked to youth. Bullshit. I will take experience and wisdom over a tight ass any day.
