When do you hit the prime of your life? (You might be surprised). (2024)

What the hell is ‘the prime of your life’? And how the hell do you know if you’re in it?

Do you believe it hits at a definitiveage?

There’s good news: You’re probably in the prime of your life now. And there’s great news: the prime of your life comes at different times for different things. So essentially, you’re always prime for something.

A recent investigation by theBBCexamined everything from fitness andmemory to general life satisfaction and sex drive. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the findings.

Our sex lives and overall life satisfaction.

If our lives were a movie, we wouldn't even be having sex past 30. But this is real life. And it turns out sexual activity doesn't even START to decrease until we hit our late 50s. Woo-hoo!

The BBC article and paper examining “sexually active life expectancy” reveal men who are 55 today can expect another 15 or so years of relatively frequent sex; women of that age can expect slightly more than a decade.

The study also show that although the intercourse won't be as "vigorous" as it once was, a good 30 per cent of healthy people aged 65-74 will still enjoy sex at least once a week.

And there is also a silver lining to a falling libido which hits around mid our mid-50s - an unexpected surge in our lust for life. It's a fact that might seem hard to fathom, givenphysical complaints rise around the same time. The boost comesdown to finally learning how to balance our lives and emotions. Basically we stop sweating the small stuff and just start to enjoy our lives.
