I am a 40-something divorced woman with the libido of an 18 year old boy. I didn’t realize that when ‘they’ said women peak in their 40’s that it would be like this. I am insatiable these days and this has led me to question what acceptable behavior is and is not for me.

I have had the unique experience of going on one date through an on-line service and meeting a really great guy. We have been together for 9 months and have a great friendship and passionate relationship. He lived in NYC and I am on Long Island.
