Horny and Forty

"The day I turned 40 my sex drive exploded" whispered Elodie.

All the other mother's porcelain teacups that hung at a comfortable distance from their pink cardigans shook uncontrollably, one lady was unable to stop a drop of tea spill from the saucer.

Felicity our queen bee, rushed to her kitchen, "don't worry about it, Joan". Her pure white rag magically disappeared the dark stain on the coffee table. "So is Rachelle going to be dux this year?" We all smiled comfortably.

Months after and in a corner away from the ladies wearing their Sri Lankan pearls, cultured in China I stole a moment alone with the gorgeous, tall, blonde Elodie, the lady who shattered the teacups.

How do you jolt yourself, and others out of the middle class perfect mother's compartment to open an impolite conversation about sex?

"So you and Ricardo are happy?" She looked down on me from her naturally superior position, her long straight blonde hair was brushed from her perfect face. "I don't know what's happened. I keep slipping my hands down inside his pajamas. The taste of his cock to so arousing".

Oook that was enough, I giggle and guide her away.

Yet, the day I turned forty my sex drive exploded.

Who would have thought? Women in their forties having sex and wanting more.

Its seems yet another myth is exposed, our sex drives are healthier, more inquisitive and alive as we reach into middle age.

So come the results of a new Canadian Survey that drew people out of the bedroom to track their sexual exploits.

"Sexual pleasure does not decrease with age," reported Alex McKay, Sex Information and Education Council of Canada who's report found that men and women between 40 and 59 still loved sex and indulged in its intimacy.

According to the report 40% of both men and women reported having sex at least once a week, and includes both married and single interviewees.

While slightly dubious about such a florid outcome let us shrug off any scepticism and not forget that statistics are pure facts, or so they say.

In the years that flow by past 40 when the kids are less interested in home, you find the old and flirty living unexpected lives. Sitting in a café outside an outrageously busy road I spill the dirty beans of my business, the want-a-be brothel to woman who's life turned out to be an unexpected miracle, rich, gorgeous, a lady who hung around in very clever circles.

As I dived into the details of the business her smile exploded, and from the way she leaned forward I knew it was time to hear her reaction.

"I love sex. When David's comes home late after work I have a pair of patent red leather stilettoes that I place just in sight when he opens the door." Her face is on burning red, on fire. "I have a fantasy, that we walk into a completely blackened room, where the floors are covered in black plastic and we pour warm oil over each other's naked bodies and slide around the floor" and the lady has stolen my thunder.

So she represents a huge number of older people many of whom are keen to explore every last avenue of sex. "More than half of those surveyed (63 per cent) said they are more interested in trying new things to enhance pleasure than they were a decade ago".

Visiting those swinger's clubs would support this, those places are driven by scantily dressed mature ladies, and their equally mature lovers.

Yet of all the surprises I met one lady, no doubt in her fifties who took exploring sex to the extreme.

"Five years ago my husband walked out to buy some milk and never returned. The next thing I heard of him was when I got a letter from his solicitor."

Now she's divorced with a lover, boob job and a subtle facelift she began to see clients at the want-a-be brothel I manage.

"A couple of years after my husband left me I booked a young escort. Afterwards we got talking and I asked him how he got into the industry. He was lovely and over the next six months, he guided me; showing me the ropes of how to set up, and service clients.

"I think I've always, deep down been curious about what it's like to be an sex worker so now I've been working for years and still love it."

Fifty and hooker, and loving it who could ask for more at our age.
