Passion Behind Middle Aged Romances

Romance never fades for women in their middle years.

Romance can be a love affair or love idealized for its purity or beauty with mysterious and exciting quality. I prefer to call middle-aged women as women in their middle years.

Women in their middle years are reported to have more sexual fantasies than younger women. With the needs of women in their middle years in mind, I wrote my first romantic novel. I made the novel bold and erotic with a love story showing all the emotions that love can bring. I am also a romantic and believe that a good romance has to have a certain amount of attraction and sex.

I myself am a member of the “middle-aged club.” I am proud to be a member of this ever-changing club. I know that in our mother and grandmother’s “middle-aged club,” there was no allowance made for their sexual prowess. In fact in many cases women of that age group were written off––as far as sexuality was concerned––but a middle-aged man was deemed to be desirable and sexually available.

Today, society now welcomes our club with open arms, both men and women. We are more respected than we have ever been. Cosmetic companies have ranges of products specially made for us, from make up to hair products, skin care products and even personal hygiene products. It is a big business and they are making a fortune from the ladies in our club.

Today, wherever you go you can find hairdressers, nail and beauty salons, and of course, clothing shops that accommodate goods and services that meet our requirements.

I was astounded last month, when, while watching Day Time Breakfast TV on one of the major British Channels, they broadcasted the results of a trial and survey that they had conducted with the help of twelve women volunteers on the subject of The Top 12 Sex Toys. The women volunteers were a good cross section of ages. The top sex toys were on display on the table in front of the presenters. The different shapes and sizes of these toys even intrigued me. From penis looking, saddle like and to even egg shaped toys. Just another example of how society today embraces sexuality and the needs of women and/or of men as sex toys can be used solo or with a friend or friends. One major women’s under-wear and sex toy company, encourages marketing parties and they are responsible for helping couples spruce up their sex lives, as one of British TV drama’s depicted. It was a really good interesting drama.

Many women in their middle years are happily married or in a really good relationship, but there are many women in our club that, through many varied reasons, find themselves on their own and would love to meet a man who would provide them with companionship, love and affection, and of course romance. This is where looking for and finding the man of their dreams is so special, exciting and exhilarating. It could also be a life-changing event.

There are many ways for a woman in her middle years to go about finding a man who would be interested in her and who could fulfill her needs, both physically and emotionally. It is true to say that like women in their middle years, there are many men in their middle years that are also in a position to look for and find new love, affection, companionship and romance.

Social media sites are a good starting point. Local newspapers also advertise for men and women who want to find a partner. For example, “Middle-aged woman wants to meet middle-aged man, for friendship, romance, affection, love and more.” Well we all know what more means! It is not just middle-aged women who place these adverts. There are many similar adverts placed from middle-aged men. I must admit that it made me smile when I read some of the adverts that were placed by men. The wording is just a tad different, that is, the word MORE is usually replaced by ADULT FUN.

A woman in our club can be aware of attraction to a certain man and with the knowledge that she has accumulated over her years, can master the art of starting a romance. It is so hard to find love and romance but it is so easy to lose it.

For the insecure woman, who finds herself wanting some romance in her life, there are so many dating sites that would help her, taking into account her age group, her social background, her likes and dislikes, and they would vet all her answers to help her achieve such a good romantic goal. There are many men and also homosexuals who are in the same circumstance, where once they try online dating sites, they are able to get over their insecurity. From lone meets to group meetings, and even to singles holidays, finding romance in their middle years is fun, enjoyable, exciting and fulfilling for both men and women.

As a romantic, flowers and chocolates are all well and good but there is nothing better than feeling the arms of a man (that you fancy) holding you tight and the sexual kisses he can give you. From then on it is up to the woman in our club to take the romance as far as she feels comfortable with. It is very exciting that “middle-aged romances” are accepted by our society of today as normal.

My name is Marion Catterall and I live in England. Believe it or not but I was educated by nuns at the Convent of the Holy Child Jesus in Preston, England. I wrote my first romantic, erotic novel aiming to entertain women who were in their middle years. I often wonder what my beautiful nuns would think about my novels, they would probably really enjoy them or perhaps not!

I am married with children and grandchildren. I am now in a position to enjoy life and to be proud of my age and sexuality. I hope other women and men will sit up and learn that life really does begin at 40 or 50 or 60 and so on.

With the needs of middle-aged women in mind, Marion Catterall wrote her first romance novel, “Hold Me Close and Closer Still.” This bold, erotic novel follows a middle-aged woman who falls in love with her husband’s brother and the passion and drama that unfolds. Catterall emphasizes that middle-aged women still enjoy passion, sex and love. The story: A middle-aged woman meets and marries a wealthy Frenchman, a musician who plays the trumpet in his own band. She falls in love with his brother, a wealthy French landowner who has a passion for horses. The descriptive sexual content in this book demonstrates the love, passion, pleasure, and emotion that produces the drama of the situation she finds herself in.
