The Sequel

“Seventeen years married, and the best sex of our life happened this spring. Nobody warned me there was a sequel.”

At 52, what feels amazing to me isn’t what did at 32. Women in the OMGYES research describe that plainly: new favorites show up, and a few old ones retire. We’d been running the same good playbook since our thirties without checking whether it was still the good one.

It wasn’t broken. It was just the first edition.

Women: if what you love has quietly changed, nothing is slipping away. It’s new territory, and plenty of women are glad they went exploring.

Partners: the person you know best is still being discovered. Curiosity is a very attractive thing to bring to bed in year seventeen.
