I used to know what I *thought* "sexy" meant when I was in my teens and 20s: being pretty or beautiful; dressing in sexy clothes; being desired by men.
But in my late 20s I got married, and all that angst about whether I was sexy or not disappeared. I was comfortable for the first time. I also got on my career track and have spent the last 20 years doing that. I decided long ago not to have children, and am content with my husband, as well as his, my and our friends, plus our cats.
I have always been overweight, but I have never been inhibited or sexually dysfunctional, so that is not a problem. I just think of myself in deeper, more complex terms, and always have. I am a Renaissance woman. I am well-educated, well-read, well-spoken, a respected professional in my field, and I am an avid hobbyist.
How do other women who are in their 30s, 40s and older think of themselves? Is being sexy important or not? Or do you have other thoughts? Thanks and cheers, K
