is there any truth to women sexually peaking at 40? I'm in my late 30's and I dont sense anything different and I'm not very sexually active normally. I have friends in the same age range or who have already hit 40 who feel so confident sexually and otherwise.

It's different for other women I think, but it's somewhere in there upper 30s I think.
There is no science to support women or men peaking at a certain age. I think this urban myth posing as a scientific myth and that any changes a person may experience are likely psychological.
I don't think it's a myth at all. Everyone women I have ever known (and I've known plenty), have had BY FAR the stronger sex drive at 40 or 50 than as teenagers. Being a female, I can weigh in that it was also true for me.
Almost every female friend I have that is 40 or 50 have husbands who don't have a fraction of the libido they have. Always remember that a woman's sexuality is inexhaustible. No 50 year old guy is having 20 orgasms a night.

Actually, that is incorrect. Psychology is part of it, in that many women become more confident about themselves and their sexuality in their 30s and 40s. But they also go through several physiological changes beginning in their mid 30s that enhance desire and enjoyment of sex. First, estrogen begins to decline in a woman's mid to late 30s. However, testosterone does not begin to decline for a few years yet. (Yes, women have testosterone, too, only not as much as men, obviously.) This often leads to increased libido. As estrogen declines, the vaginal walls become thinner, which is why many women find and enjoy their G-spots for the first time in their late 30s.
Combine all of that, and you have some pretty randy 40-year-olds.

My Dw peaked in her early 20's, basically during courtship.
We are in our early 50s now, our 30th anniversary was last month, and have not seen any changes, from say mid-20s to now.

I think I peaked in my 20s and it never left me and I'm 54 now so I can't say if it's true or not.
