Sexual confidence is simply the confidence you carry into sexual situations. Sexual self-esteem is the value you give yourself as a sexual being. No matter how old you are sex is the special sauce of relationships. It is the most fundamental part of being human. As we age, many of us tend to kick our sexiness to the curb because of life’s interferences and in turn, our confidence levels take a deep dive. Aging for some of us means putting sex on a back burner, or removing it entirely from our bedroom repertoire.
Chile please!
As we have continuously pointed out, there is no age limit with regards to sexuality! If you have an interest and a mate who is willing and able, your confidence levels regarding sex should be ever-lasting.
But there are still those who feel they’ve lost the kind of confidence that used to bring the boys (or girls) around like flies! Take our quiz to see if you’re feeling less sexually confident than you’d prefer.

0-5 Your confidence in the bedroom is severely lacking and you may be seriously worried about aging. Talking to your partner about your sex life will help and it may be worth trying some confidence-boosting activities.
6-10 Your sex life may have slipped into an outright rut and is boring you to tears.
11-14 Your twilight years have given you a sexual confidence that is off–the-charts and you are enjoying every single orgasm!
Lastly, being a sexually confident person means knowing what you want and deserve, and, if you’re sexually active, that includes having a sexual partner who are willing to give that to you. Partners who accept all of you and make it easy for you to be your true self, who treat you with respect, who care about your consent, comfort, and pleasure, who provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and emotions – these are the partners you deserve, whether they are casual sex partners or long-term partners.
