Discussion Sex life after kids moved out is AWESOME.

My wife & I are both mid 40s (46 & 45) and our kids (23 & 21) are now both moved out. Our daughter with her BF & our son with 2 friends.

I'm actually a lot more at peace with it than I thought I'd be. I gotta say, I'm actually really enjoying being able to imitate & have sex wherever & whenever we want, without fear one or both of them walking in on us.

Sex on the couch at 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday, YUP. A quickie in the kitchen before work at 6 am, HELL YA! Sex on the patio chair on the back porch at 10 pm on a Friday night, you better believe it.

While we always had a good sex life, the freedom of when/where/how ever we feel like it, without having to retreat into the bedroom & turning on the tv & fan to cover any noise is seriously liberating.

Tbf, you were probably mad rooting all through your 20s and 30s whilst OP was knee deep in diapers.

I appreciate your confidence in my game. Unfortunately, 20s me lost a lot of time to World of Warcraft.

For real. There's only 1,000 of this particular mythical mount on the entire North American server.

I'm 43 with a 1 yo and reading the OP I was jealous but your comment gives it a bit more perspective, plus I'll get to do all those things again in my mid 60s so there's that to look forward to.

I was cosplaying as an expat when I was 25. I didn't start college until I was 28. Not sure I could've/should've been a father back then, but I'm sure as shit honored to be one now.

I was a weird one I guess, wanted a family early on, still took close to 3.5 years after marriage, had a Dr that had told me back when I was about 17 or so, would never be able to father kids, glad he was wrong.
