Aging for women brings on confidence, self assurance, energy, drive, knowledge about who they are and a higher sex drive. More women over 40 open up their own business, change careers or go back to work.

Aging for men brings on loss of sex drive. They're content in their jobs, they're happy with what they’ve attained, so tend to feel the need to slow down. Their desire to relax is greater, which brings on an overall feeling of contentment and they don’t feel like trying new things - and they're wondering what happened to their significant other.

This also coincides with children leaving for college, moving out and the couple that remains are strangers, literally in the night.

What a cosmic joke that this occurs and hormones truly play a huge part in this rise and fall in the sexes.

As estrogen lowers in women, their testosterone rises, boosting the ambition, drive and libido. Where as for men, their testosterone lowers, their estrogen rises and it brings on a sensation of wanting to 'settle down' and nurture.

While men feel the need to slow down, their significant other wants to spread her wings and fly. As a result, this scares and intimidates the man and rather than discussing it, he thinks a younger body is the answer.

This is a wondrous time for women over 40 and it explains why all of a sudden, older women are attracted to younger men.

Complications arise as you find yourself attracted to the 20 something year old kid at the office and feel shame, desire and wonder. This desire can many times lead to affairs of the heart and cause anguish and pain, however, that's a choice only you can make, no judging here.

So, for all you lucky single woman over 40, stop wondering, pondering and just revel in this wonderful explosion of energy, drive and desire. Indulge in what your body and mind needs and that is the adoration and respect that a younger man will give you.

He is enticed, intrigued and wants to learn - something that men in your age group for the most part no longer desire as they’re 'content' with what they’ve conquered, learned and now want to wind down in their recliner chair!
