It’s been a long held belief that women stop wanting sex as they get older, and one that may have been debunked thanks to new research that followed 3200 women over 15 years.

Via CNN:

“About a quarter of women rate sex as very important, regardless of their age,” said Dr. Holly Thomas, lead author of an abstract being presented during the 2020 virtual annual meeting of The North American Menopause Society, which opens on Monday, September 28.”The study showed substantial numbers of women still highly value sex, even as they get older, and it’s not abnormal,” said Thomas, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.”If women are able to speak up with their partner and make sure that they’re having sex that’s fulfilling and pleasurable to them, then they’re more likely to rate it as highly important as they get older,” she said.

While it’s somewhat a bummer to hear that one a quarter of women consider sex “very important” (we wish that number was closer to 100 percent), it’s interesting to learn that the number doesn’t drop as women get older. So, if you’re on OBC and searching for a new hook up, don’t filter out the older ladies because you think they won’t be DTF!
