There is a theory that there is no ideal time for sex, because everything in a couple depends on personal preferences, lifestyle of the spouses, hormonal background and, above allโ age.
20-30 years old: Wake up and sing
The period between 20 and 30 years is considered the “hottest” period of life. According to doctors and scientists, it is at this age that hormones are most active, and fertility is at its peak. Accordingly, high libido, more energy and emotional response to intimacy. From a biological point of view, the body literally pushes you to procreate. Therefore, morning is often the best time for sex.
In addition, this period is full of experimentation and spontaneity, so the best time for sex is “when desire hits.”
30-40 years old: scheduled sex
Between the ages of 30 and 40, life becomes more intense: children, careers, mortgages, and, as a result, intense stress. Spontaneity is gradually giving way to planning, so sex happens in those moments when there is free time.
At this age, stress hormones can interfere with the production of sex hormones, increasing prolactin (suppresses reproductive function) and decreasing dopamine (pleasure hormone). But there are also advantages.: intimacy becomes deeper and more emotionally intense, built on trust and affection.
40-50 years old: after a delicious lunch
From the age of 40 to 50, the opportunity for spontaneity returns: teenagers sleep longer, work becomes more familiar, and the hated mortgage is closed (as a rule).
Given this, spontaneous sex may return, as in his youth. As for time: mornings, afternoon breaks, and sudden moments during the day.
However, it is during this period that women enter menopause (45-55 years old), which can reduce libido and slow down orgasm. Testosterone also decreases in men at this age. Therefore, it may take longer to achieve orgasm. In other words, forget having quick sex like you did when you were 20.
But with this comes more sensuality and a desire to avoid low-quality sex, which leads to better awareness and frankness with a partner.
50-60 years old: renaissance of morning sex
At this time, the level of estrogen and testosterone decreases, but this does not mean that sex will fade into the sunset. As in forty, this period presents an opportunity to be more aware of sex.
Thus, sex at age 50 is less associated with frequency and more with sensuality, which may include non-sexual forms of intimacy such as hugging, socializing, and touching.
As for time, this decade is perfect for using morning or afternoon intimacy. Because it’s better to take advantage of the moment when your energy level is most likely at its peak.
60+: Afternoon pleasure
From a hormonal point of view, at the age of 60, you can finally relax and prioritize pleasure. Your children have already matured and left home, and work worries about retirement are becoming a thing of the past.
Therefore, you find yourself in a phase of sexuality that is richer and more aware than ever. Also, reducing stress levels reduces cortisol levels. Therefore, without constant hormonal fluctuations, your body will finally feel calm. In turn, this can lead to a clearer relationship with your sexual desire. The afternoon and early evening are perfect here.
