In my young days we thought whatever we were doing was something unique and no one, especially your parents had ever done it before. The idea of older (even 40 was old then) people having sex was unbelievable. Television/cinema was more censored. People were modest and didn't behave so openly like they behave now. Your adventurous side was a little curtailed. Women were a little more controlled or not so open about their sexuality. No one talked about the big "O".

The society, media, attitude and acceptance have advanced very fast in the last few years. I am all in favour of advancement but there has to be a balance. Neither total control nor a total inhibition is good. At times I think that some self control, some respect and some privacy could make other people's life less embarrassing. Every thing is right at a right age. In my opinion children are growing up too soon. Experiencing every thing too early has its fall back.

On the other hand I am very proud that Women have advanced very fast lately in finding their equal places in work as well as play. The confidence has brought the women the freedom to decide what they want and to say what they want.

I was intrigued to read this article that middle-aged women in Greater Manchester enjoy better sex lives than their counterparts in the south. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the North and South divide but who cares? As long as Northern women are enjoying themselves I am very happy to live in the North.
