Year after year, I hear my middle-aged girlfriends complain about how the spark has gone out of their relationships with the "man of their dreams." They tell me he isn't attentive anymore or he works long hours and then comes home too tired or they even suspect there might be a little "foul play" going on with another woman-and a YOUNGER one at that.

Do you know why some older men are sexually attractive to younger women? Because they are adventurous! They have an experimental attitude and don't mind doing what it takes to please their partner.

We were once like that, remember? Well, maybe I should just speak for myself but I recall the days when I couldn't get enough pleasure from my man and he was more than willing to oblige. Has growing older made us become prudish all of a sudden or did we not realize the man we married had an over-active sex drive?

Just because we age doesn't mean the romantic flames have to die does it? The first thing you must ask yourself, honestly, is what did you do to kill the romance if it's gone?

2) Turn your dinner into a romantic dining experience. They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach so why not set the mood with some romantic foods. Did you know asparagus is a great source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin and folic acid? The latter is said to boost histamine production necessary for the ability to reach orgasm in both sexes. Oysters are the classic aphrodisiac. Raw oysters are very high in zinc which is known to raise sperm and testosterone
