Its common knowledge that for most males the peak in sex drive is around 16 years old and for most females late 30's.
Does this hold true for you personally? note I'm talking the peak.
I remember reading a study that said that the whole “women peak at 30” was something believed in the past when women were interviewed/surveyed because they noticed how women around the 30s were already married and could talk about sex a bit more relaxed, more open, more honest, etc. Younger women preferred to be more reserved with their comments/opinions about sex, therefore, it would be believed they were not interested in sex, “it was not their peak”. It sort of makes sense. I think everybody peaks at different stages of their life but not determined by gender.
Does it hold true to your personality? Hhhhmmm can’t see how being in my peak or not would influence how I live really.
Nah. Personally I think it has more to do with how fit I am at the time. When I am working out regularly and getting cardio routines in about 4 to 6 times a week, this is when I seem to peek.
I wouldn't know yet, I'm in my early 20's. I'll answer that question when I'm 60 . To me it makes sense though- women generally have more reservations and are more self-conscious about their bodies from late teens to early 20's and by their 30's those insecurities are mostly gone (from what I hear).
in psychology we learned the peak for males is 17-19 years of age and for women its between 35 and 40.
i'm 30 and i'll admit i'm not as "energetic" LOL as i use to be when i was in my early to mid 20s.
i have female friends in their mid 30s and have dated women around 37ish who are in my opinion "all horned up". so based on those two observations alone i'd say it holds true. however i will also say women in their mid 20s can compete with their late 30s counterparts just as easily.

That axiom has always been misinterpreted. What they're actually talking about there is purely physiological, and having to do with nothing but hormone production. Personal desire, the frequency of sex, the quality of the practice of said sex, and the emotional committment with it are not accounted for in this over-used and largely inaccurate old saying.
Sure, a 16-year old kid might think about sex all the time because of his raging hormones, but in reality his skill at it is usually poor, if not laughable. And many women are married and thus have pretty much put sex on the backburner when they hit their late 30's.
My sexual heydey--at least as far as raging desire and promiscuity occurred in my 20's. When I was 16 I was still a virgin and thought only of sports and motorcycles.
My wife is in her early 30's and is a sexual dynamo. I'm several years older and can easily keep up with her appetites.
So, no--that old "16-30" rule is basically useless. It's only modicum of accuracy is that, yeah, guys usually think about sex more in their teens and maybe 20's than women do, while an older woman is many times more desirous of sex than an older man. But this is usually because the woman was in an unsatisfying sexual relationship (like a boring marriage) when she was younger.
