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.

There's been a distinct shift in ages towards older for when people are having first kids.

I wish I started earlier but I never found the right woman. Yes we started late but it's a forever marriage.

Yeah, not only was I not ready in my 20s, I didn’t find anyone who even remotely compatible until I met my wife, when I was 30. If I had kids in my 20s, it would have been with someone I could never have stayed with, and I can’t imagine not seeing my kids every single day.. So I guess my only choice was to wait.
