If you buy the idea that sexual prime is a lot more than how you function physically, then why are so many older people struggling with their sexuality? The problems have a lot to do with the myths and lies that prevent most people from ever reaching their sexual potential. Like the lie that sexy is all about how you look - and the lie that men just want sex and women just want intimacy - and the romantic myth that when you love someone, you'll know how to please them sexually. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Human sexuality is infinitely more complicated than sex in the rest of the animal kingdom. Sex between humans is affected by thoughts and feelings and beliefs. Physical responsiveness is not determined by simply touching or stimulating the right spot. It would certainly be easier if we could just follow a set of instructions for producing the maximum physical pleasure for ourselves and our partners, but then sex would be devoid of what makes it uniquely human - the capacity for a truly intimate connection.
The complexity of our sexuality is both the good news and the bad news. It opens the door for lots of problems, but it also affords us the opportunity for passion and emotional connection. The fact that it's so much more than a purely physical experience means that sex is not just for the young and the newly in-love. You may just be getting started.
