Hi Greg,

 

It is common knowledge that women mature sexually in their 30's and 40's where men usually hit their sexual peak at a much younger age. This question is probably best answered in the sexual health section located here.

 

I had a hysterectomy at the age of 30 and for me, the freedom of knowing I didn't have to worry about pregnancy and could be free and open with my partner was a great motivator for me. Plus, sex is a great way to relieve a headache :) I wouldn't be concerned. Just enjoy the benefits!

 

Hope you find something useful here.

I had a complete hysterectomy in my late 20's and as I got older, I seemed to really enjoy sex much more than in 30's.  I am 40 and am on fire, too  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let her enjoy herself!  Kiss
