For much of the twentieth century, the sexuality of women past forty was framed as anxiety, performance, or quiet resignation — a reflection less of their inner lives than of the era's constraints. Research now tells a different story: women in their forties, fifties, and sixties report not the fading of desire but its deepening, shaped by self-knowledge, medical progress, and a culture that has slowly learned to stop apologizing for mature intimacy. The old psychological portrait, it turns out, was never a portrait of women — it was a portrait of the world they were forced to inhabit.
