What do you think gets better with age?
Jetpack did that thing, it asked the question… OK, it wasn’t specifically asking about me ageing, but it did ask what I think gets better with age and… Well, yeah, I think I’m the answer.
Of course “gets better” is subjective.
And in the case of me, you may well have seen me coming out of my shell over the last six (and a bit) years, as I’ve edged along in my story.
I don’t necessarily think that my growth of confidence is directly related to my age. I certainly don’t think I’m a better person for being almost ten years out of a domestic violence situation. I’m still the same person, just not stuck in a box in the loft of my abusers brain. More to the point, the way I embrace my silliness would suggest that I’m regressing rather than ageing!
But with the passing of time comes a shifting of hormones.
I’m in my early forties now. Perimenopause has joined the party and – fuck me – what a wild ride it is proving to be.
I thought I was broken. Oh no… I was told I was broken. Because I couldn’t achieve orgasm.
I’m pleased to announce that I can! I’m not broken. I can (and do) enjoy mind blowing orgasms in all the ways I’ve been able to enjoy them since I met S in 2014.
And six + months since I had my sexual confidence bashed (again) something unexpected has happened.
I’ve experienced my first ever multiple orgasm from oral. (Have a look at this post if you don’t know how monumental this event is!) AND I’m regularly enjoying manual orgasms, rather than always enjoying intense vibrations and stretching.
Is this because I’m ageing? Hormones setting my nervous system up in new and exciting ways? Or perhaps inspiration has tempted my libido out of hiding, poured fuel on it and tossed a match?
Maybe it’s a heady combination of both?
Perhaps it’s neither. Something entirely different.
Whatever the reason, or maybe it’s no reason at all, I’m enjoying exploring myself. My body is ageing and I’ve discovered/been guided to new ways of enjoying pleasure.
What new ways have you found pleasure as your body is ageing?

I found during my 40’s I was probably the horniest I have ever been in my life. I have heard that can be the case in peri menopause but the last year or so things have definitely shifted down a gear…… but that is OK with me too. I have decided to embrace it as all part of the adventure of living in my body
