5 reasons why sex is great in your 40s

<p>If you think 20s are the best years to have steamy sex, then you might be wrong. Of all the things that get better with time, one of them is definitely sex. Here’s why having sex in 40s is actually an amazing experience…<br></p>
2/6

​You understand your body well

<p>Your 20s are all about exploring your own self. But you have been sexually active for quite some time now in your 40s, and hence you figure out what works for you. You know exactly what turns you on, and what makes you orgasm.<br></p>
3/6

​You have zero apprehensions

<p>You are no longer conscious about your body unlike your younger years. You no longer shy away from your body weight and prefer to turn off the lights, nor do you check your make up twice before having sex. You have embraced yourself the way you are and no longer in the race to impress the opposite sex. <br></p>
4/6

​Your life is almost stable

<p>This stage of life has its own benefits. Probably by this time, women have figured out their career paths, have grown up kids and a stable family life. Though, responsibilities might be there but there are no immediate challenges. Ergo, sex is for pleasure, not for busting stress. <br></p>
5/6

​Your partner knows

<p>Spending years with your partner makes him understand your preferences and desires. You no longer need to communicate this to him. This is not the case in 20s! You have recently met your partner and you both take your own time to strike sexual compatibility.<br></p>
6/6

​It’s good for your health

<p>The benefits of having sex need no introduction. It releases endorphins that are the feel-good hormones. Next, sex is a stress buster, helps you sleep better, and gives you a glowing skin. In fact, according to a study, men who ejaculate often are less likely prone to develop prostate cancer. <br></p><p>(Images: Shutterstock)</p>
