Remember when you were so physically attracted to someone, all you had to do was think about him, and you’d want to jump into bed? Now, even if you love your husband or partner with all your heart, it’s not quite so easy getting “in the mood,” is it?
A recent FabOverFifty poll of 300 women, 45+,It’s always enlightening to learn what other women in our generation are thinking and doing. Every Thursday, FabOverFifty asks members of our community a series of simple questions about pretty complex issues (and some not-so-complex issues), then we report the results back to you!
THIS WEEK, WE’RE ASKING ABOUT WHAT GETS YOU “IN THE MOOD” FOR SEX. TAKE OUR ANONYMOUS POLL BELOW AND SEE HOW YOU COMPARE
TO OTHER FABOVERFIFTY WOMEN!
We were ecstatic when our friends at LELO revealed the TIANI 24k last month — the next generation of its popular couples’ massager.
The world leader in intimate lifestyle products, LELO added some shimmer to this massager, which features a 24-karat gold ring with a unique engraved serial code.
This couples’ massager stimulates you and your partner, using dual arms. One arm is inserted for G-spot stimulation, while the second remains outside the vagina for clitoral stimulation. There is a motor in each arm, which your partner will feel during intercourse: “Both partners receive equal stimulation, and all the sensations of sex are elevated,” says a LELO spokesperson. The TIANI 24k also is quite flexible, so it can bend to adjust to all body sizes.
The vibrations can either be controlled right on the TIANI 24k or via remote control, featuring LELO’s SenseMotion technology. (more…)
Your sex life is about to get a little more luxe in the new year!
Sex devices are more sophisticated than ever. Consider the new TIANI 24k, a couples’ massager with a heart of gold! LELO, the world leader in intimate lifestyle products, has evolved the TIANI series to its fourth generation, not only by giving it more power and features, but by jazzing it up with a 24-karat gold ring that features a unique serial code, just for you and your partner.
We recently introduced you to a pretty cool way to take control of your Kegel exercises– the LUNA Smart Bead from LELO. Not only does this device help your bladder retrain your pelvic floor muscles, it also gets your muscles in shape so it’s easier to become aroused and reach orgasm during sex.
“Your intimate muscles are like any other muscles: their power andefficiency improve with a regular work out,” says Ian Kerner, Ph. D, licensed psychotherapist and sexuality counselor.

Why Kegels Are Good Things, And How You Can Do Them Properly
It’s hard not to notice when the skin on our face starts sagging and your breasts start dropping. But other changes are taking place all over our bodies as we age, some which might be less noticeable. Our vaginal tissue thins and weakens, for example, a result of natural events such as childbirth and menopause. And the pelvic floor muscles that control our bladder (and much more, as you’ll shortly find out) also get out of shape. That’s why we may accidentally leak when we laugh, sneeze, or make a sudden movement.
Besides working with your bladder, pelvic muscles are responsible for the contractions you feel during orgasm. With strengthened, in-shape pelvic muscles, it’s easier to become aroused and reach orgasm during sex.
Get your pelvic muscles in-shape
Fifty-nine percent of women in a recent FabOverFifty poll don’t think they masturbate or have sex frequently enough. Time to move that percentage way down. Here are six incentives to make masturbation an essential part of your life.
To reconnect with your partner: Contrary to what you may have heard, you don’t need to masturbate alone. Masturbation can accelerate a sexual experience with your partner, and he or she will probably love the idea, too!

I am delighted when I can help young people on a mission, and 27-year-old Rose (Bouaziz) Robbins is on a mission that concerns all of us. A PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Ottawa, Canada, Rose discovered, while conducting a series of studies on body image and sexual health in women across their lives, that most of the information currently available focuses on young women. “Researchers have looked at undergraduate students in their early 20s and generalized their findings to older women,” Rose wrote to me. “As you can imagine, this is hardly conducive to developing appropriate interventions for women 50+ whose experiences of sexuality and body image may differ greatly from that of emerging adults,” she said. For sure! (more…)
