Is it normal to all of a sudden to get a sex drive? I’m soon going to turn 40, and all of a sudden, I have a sex drive that I haven’t had since my 20’s. I’ve been married for 15 years and been with my husband since college. Does this happen to a lot of women? I’ve had more sex in the past month with my spouse this past month than I have in this past year…

I recently stopped taking some medication. I have my sex drive back finally after 5-6 yrs of not having it. Did you stop taking any medication that you’ve taken or any other changes recently?
It’s your body preparing for menopause. It knows you’re running out of room to reproduce so it’s trying to get you pregnant. This is a legitimate thing.

This is when your body is revved up since your body knows it will be done with babies soon. So your body craves sex. It’s pretty cool to think how the body works. Knowing it will be closed for business.

Yes it happens to women much later than men!
I think this is your peeking point again lol
Could be an ovarian cyst. Get a gyn check up.
A lot of women hit their sexual peak late in life.
Women usually get it at around 35-40 and men lose it around same time
Yep…and their drive goes down. He can’t keep up with me now 
Your having a sexual peak. Sometimes it can happen before menopause when sex hormones start to fall. You can even have another peak right before menopause. But enjoy it! Love making is so fun especially if your spouse has been keeping up with your drive!
Have you’ve started working out? Changed birth control? Maybe your hormone levels have changed and you’re body is trying to get all the baby making in while it still can? Have you started watching the show Outlander? Any of the aforementioned could cause a sudden increase in libido. Especially that last thing…

Perfectly normal…enjoy this time in your life…
My 40’s were my sexy time in my life.
Yes! I had given up but someone showed sexual interest and boom exploded and haven’t stopped enjoy it! Just be safe if there’s more than 1 partner
Wow! Lucky! Enjoy it!
Interesting! I am 35 and wondered about this. I have had several friends your age experience the same thing. They turned 40 and began having super sex drive!

Yes totally normal,I have my ups and downs as well it happens to all women of all ages,I am 44 and no where near menopause yet
Yes I am 43 now an went through that before I got 40. Now with my three kids 24/7 an elderly mother I don’t have time for a relationship.
I can confirm…my 40’s was craaaaazy!!!
Enjoy! You may have a couple years of this type of drive.
When I hit 40 I was on fire. We did it a ton. From all I read it’s very normal. 
Menopause can start years before the final result my mom’s lasted almost 10 years before she reached the end result
Enjoy while you can !!
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but I lost my sex drive at 34 years old, I went through menopause after my Hysterectomy.
Yes it is possible & I am postmenopausal
Yes your hormones are going into over drive to prepare you for menopause

Yes i am 44 and my sex drive is high
Men hit their sexual peak in their twenties; women, about 10 years later.
Yes, in your forty’s is the best sex when your partner got it going on if you know what I mean.
I’d consider myself lucky and shave! Lol
