His and Her Health

Help.. I'm kinda freaking out...
I'm a 47 year old female seriously involved with a 35 year old man. The sex is fantastic! I need to know I'm not the only one feeling this way.
In the begining I thought it was just because it was a new exciting relationship with a younger man. Several months into it my sex drive just continues to increase! Oh, I'm not complaining and neither is he! I'm just wondering if this is normal. I believe I am also premenopausal. I have night sweats that wake me almost every night.I also have increased vaginal wetness, seems like I'm always wet (BTW- he loves it) but I've never been like this before. It's my understanding that menopause causes dryness and de-creased drive....We have sex an average of twice a day, sometimes more, but at least 8-10 times a week. Sometimes I feel like a dirty old lady. =) But seriously, This relationship has become very serious and we have spoken of marriage. Is this normal??? Also I am terrified of "the change" if all those things really happen what will happen to our relationship? (NO it's not just based on sex) but he is a young man and we are having the time of our lives! ANYONE with advice or a simular story please respond! happycougarfornow.

Also- Iam experencing orgasms I've never had before. Vaginally, I've never had, and intense multiple orgasms as well..

happycougar,enjoy it all now. For more information on what to expect as you head towards menopause please visit our companion website here. www.redhotmamas.org

I certainly don't want to rain on your happy parade! Enjoy it as much as you can. I've heard from other women that it just keeps getting better. That didn't happen in my case. I had a big increase in libido like you (and I think it's not uncommon) followed by a big decrease after menopause. I REALLY miss it and I'm working hard to get it back! My husband and I are still enjoying sex, it's just more of a conscious effort now.

Not very reasuring eva =)
But thanks for the input.
But are you really enjoyimg the sex now? or is it simply to do it? I realy love this man. wondering.... is he gonna get "board" or turned off with "the older woman"???

Don't worry so much about the age. It's the relationship that counts.

I know two couples who have been married for decades, where the men are the younger partners by 12 years.

And I know a woman who just passed 60 and married to a husband 20 years older. She got married at 20 to her husband at 40. They have had a very happy 40+ year marriage, in spite of many people doubting it would work out.

And I know people who are about the same age and divorced soon after they got married.
