Hi.. I want to ask if as a 40 year old woman is it ok to be with someone 8 years younger if both of us are into it. Just that I am feeling as if it’s a taboo and I will be excluded from the society for doing so ... pls advise

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Congratulations! Most couples wean off from sex citing old age and other health issues due to ageing...
The act of sex/lovemaking increases heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory cycles and that is the only thing that you need to be watchful of especially if you are under medications for any lifestyle ailments. This doubt can be cleared with your doctor who can advise you accordingly; other than this sex is the most beautiful sport to indulge in at any age and also it keeps a couple together emotionally as well. So, enjoy...

All the best!

Ans: the important part is - do you share similar feeling for your partner/ friend as he does for you. In case you do, you need to see how it works between both - it will work well if you respect each other, are kind people and support each other's wishes. Once it works well then how does it matter how will it be perceived. People will talk, its the national past time, you cant do anything about it, so focus on what you can control.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I can't comment on his family's opinion, but there is no harm in marrying someone younger than you as long as the decision is between two consenting adults, with no infidelity involved.

Best Wishes.
