There are thousands of beautiful mothers, wives, and ex-wives who feel like they have lost their sexuality. Here are six ways in which women 40 and older can rediscover their “inner babe” and get it back.

Embrace your sexuality. Older women have more self-possession. They are not as callow and tend to have more character both in personality, intrigue and in sexual performance. Women 40 and older are also more forthright, which can be a major turn-on, especially for younger men in need of direction. Younger women are still deciding what sex means to them, whereas older women are more likely to appreciate it for its own sake.

Education and employment. Having your own income allows women the power to choose their relationships, and not remain stuck in one.

Remember your old social life. A big part of relocating your inner diva is remembering the good times you had as a teen and 20-something. In many ways, these things are like new again. Underappreciated mothers and wives tend to live primarily for others, but now it is time to reclaim those fun nights out with the girls and catch some time for yourself.

Health, diet, and exercise. Of course, feeling and looking attractive is important to you – so be healthy! Nothing is better at giving ladies that can-do attitude than a nice workout. Being selective about what you eat is as important as being selective about who you date. You want a partner and diet that will treat you right.

If you are single and in your 40s, 50s, 60s or older, you can either wait around for the kids or grandkids to come by and visit, or you can get out there and regain the vitality and lust for life you used to have.
