Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

Navigating through middle age in the dating world is sometimes a daunting task.  Oftentimes, middle age men want to date younger women.  Younger men may also want to date younger women especially if they have hopes of starting a family or at the very least thoughts of taking an “acceptable” woman home  to meet mom.  And if a younger man does like dating older women, is it without ulterior motives? (How many times have older women been accused of keeping a boy toy if she happens to date someone her junior?)

So what is the more mature (middle aged and beyond) woman to do? Compete with the younger women of course!  Just kidding.  A real woman never has to compete with anyone no matter the age.  A woman owes it to herself to be the best she that she can be! However, in being that best she, there is nothing wrong with learning some new tricks.  It’s easy as time goes on to let oneself go and get kind of lazy or complacent, if you will.  But anyone who is trying to stay current and exciting to a significant other or a potential mate should incorporate some new ways to entice.  

New tricks can be anything that takes the woman out of her comfort zone.  For some that might be something as simple as new lingerie.  Other women might be willing to explore sex toys or adult movies.    Still others might want to try erotic role playing, ménage-a-trois, or perhaps a trip into the land of BDSM.  I realize that all of this might be way too far for some women.  It’s all about finding a balance between being comfortable in one’s own skin, while gently nudging one’s boundaries and finding some excitement.  This can be particularly challenging for someone who is of a certain age.  
Let’s face it…most of us once we hit a certain age, start to focus on other things other than sexuality.  Perhaps, we spent a long time focusing on school.  Perhaps we pursued our careers to the best of our abilities.  Perhaps we had children and a family or had to take care of aging parents.  Or, lastly, perhaps a woman just never got in tune with her own sexuality and therefore never allowed herself to be exposed to the “wild side.”  Whatever the reason, aging may exacerbate any insecurities resulting from a woman’s focus being somewhere other than her sexuality.   

Well ladies, this is where I enter into the picture.  I’m hoping through this blog that you and I can explore how to navigate the road of sex, romance and aging together.  I would like to bring you with me as I date, explore and fulfill new passions and age gracefully.  Along the way, I believe we can discover different things and work through our issues that come with not being 20 anymore.  I ask you to keep an open mind, join me without judgments and share your inner most thoughts with me.  Let’s work together to learn some new tricks!
