I have to revisit this topic, now that I am dating again.
The desire for 5 star sex, going on 57 is gone! YAY~
Recently, I was put to the test! The guy had a great vibe!
But, his idea of a date was to come to my place and order
in Chinese food…No kidding . I said, “No thanks, my
space is sacred.” Then I bounced him. I was astonished
at myself for having not noticed the change. I was a cougar
once upon the time, just like a few of you and she was
tamed!

Generally I think its overrated, not that Passion is not important but not anymore important than other qualities.(interesting, an adjective and a noun and really if you think about it a kind of verb). What I like about it is its usually unexpected and fleeting (see Pru’s post above).

just read this….and just returned from a great weekend workshop on tantra yoga. passion is life force, connection with the divine in all it’s forms, which is to say LOVE. passion is aliveness and i’m never givin’ it up. check out this site for to learn more about tantra (which means the weaving of union)….www.sourcetantra.com

Carine, what a fabulous topic for all of us to ponder. I’ll
take 5 star sex anyday over an emotional realtionship. I
never wanted the traditional lifestyle, maybe it was the
’70′s. Sex and the City has nothing on you, honey .

This blog sent me down my lover memory lane. Just like the daffodils in the spring, as I strolled along I kept finding more. Was I an addict to the fire? Yessss! I have friends with benefits now rather than casual lovers. I think I agree with Cat, it ebbs, flows, changes as one’s needs change, but bottom line, I think I am going to hang on to my jones for a long time… and the memories are, well, sizzling.

Older friends tell me that the passion comes back – but differently. At 57, I’m still waiting, adjusting to my body, my metabolism, my new journey. Can we re-define passion?

Passion is about the fire – fire in the belly, or fire in the loins. When lust is fresh, passion is strong. When I’m not in lust, love or heavy like, my passion flower blooms elsewhere (and it’s not always about sex). I think passion can ebb and flow, change and grow. It’s kind of like energy on steroids. When it kicks in, what a high!
