Reader Question of the Week: Do You Accept Yourself More as You Get Older?
Every weekend I like to throw up a question someone sends in and let you readers have a go at it. Since yesterday was my birthday, I thought I’d do an age related one. So here’s something that one reader sent in recently:
You talk a lot about experiencing real “intimacy” when you make love. That is something I desire, but find difficult at times. I have had significant healing in this area, but it’s still not easy. Often I look at my “issues” and wonder whether I feel this way because of my past abuse or just because I’m a woman. It can get so confusing!
A friend of mine was talking about sexual maturity. She said it has taken her awhile to feel and accept that she is a sexual being (she is in her mid-40′s). I can’t imagine a time in my life (I’m in my mid-30′s) when I would be okay with my sexuality. There is too much shame and embarrassment attached to it, I guess. I’m not sure how to bridge the gap.
I know for me, personally, I am much more comfortable with being a sexual being in my 40s than I was in my 20s. After yesterday’s birthday, I have now officially been married half of my life! And I feel as if I’m finally comfortable with myself.
What do you think? Are you more comfortable with yourself as you get older? Or were your best days your honeymoon days?
Leave your thoughts in the comments!
And don’t forget: The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex makes a great gift for any woman about to get married. So if you’re going to a bridal shower this spring, bring it along!
