“As you get older, you become more self-assured and clear on what you need and want sexually. As such, you’ll be able to confidently articulate these needs and even show your partner how to cater to them if necessary.

You’ll also realise that we all have insecurities about our body and will find it easier to let go of the need to be perfect. You may also recognise that your partner is happy to just touch and connect with you in an intimate way and that all your imperfections are actually insignificant to them.”

“You’ll understand that your partner also receives pleasure from giving and that you don’t always have to be the one to please them. You can then enjoy receiving as much as you give.”

“You may find yourself becoming more open to wearing different types of lingerie or experimenting with sex toys. You may actually want to do these things so sex remains interesting to you.”

“You probably won’t be as tolerant of substandard sex or relationships as you’ll recognise that time and energy are expendable resources and that you shouldn’t keep what doesn’t serve you anymore. This will help you become more selective about who you let into your life and bedroom.”

“You’ll realise that sex tips are just suggestions, and that what works for somebody else might not work for you. You’ll be less focused on getting things right and quit comparing your love or sex life with others.”

“Awkward sex will be a thing of the past as you’d have gained sexual knowledge, experience, and confidence over the years. And when you’re more relaxed, your partner will be too, so the both of you will be able to have a good time.”
