      However, recent research by sexologists has brought good news to women. They think, female Sexual desire will increase again between the ages of 40 and 50, which can allow them to enter a "second honeymoon."

      In this regard, a certain Hospital Dr. Yang Dazhong from the Department of Sexual Medicine said that the concept of "second honeymoon" does exist, but women should not expect too much from it and should treat it more rationally.

      Honeymoon mainly comes from psychology

      “Women actually have the strongest sexual desire around the age of 35. ”Yang Dazhong said, "But women in this period are either busy with career development or having children. They often do not have enough time and energy to enjoy 'conjugal life' with their husbands. ”

      “Around the age of 50, women's living conditions will change. ”For example, the burden on the family has been reduced, and the children can basically become independent without their parents having to worry about them; after years of getting along with each other, the relationship between husband and wife has become more harmonious and loving; their careers have entered a stable period... "Therefore, women at this stage can enjoy sex more mentally than when they were in their thirties and forties. Therefore, there is the saying of 'second honeymoon'. ”

      There are also some opinions that the key to determining female sexual desire is the male hormone testosterone, and women aged 40 to 50 have higher testosterone levels, so their sexual desire is stronger. Is this statement true? Yang Dazhong said that this is not the main factor. “The main reason is psychological. ”

      The famous American women's magazine "Red Book" once published an article stating that a single increase in testosterone levels does not bring strong sexual desire to women, and not every woman aged 40-50 will experience an increase in testosterone levels.
