Re: Wasting away our sexual prime.
Interesting topic Catty - I have seen both sides of the coin in our family.
Most of my cousins married around the age of 25-27 - fresh out of college and with a job and alhamdulillah they are very happy and doing well for themselves.
One of my aunts waited and waited for Mr. Right. He never showed up but she finally got married at a later age but we always hear her complain about how unhappy she is.
It largely depends on the person too and when they are ready to take on that responsibility. Five years ago, I didn't see myself married and settled down with a family and now I do. I don't think you lose out on your libido or sexual intensity. Those might be just old wives tales :) But I do agree w/ AJ - you become less maleable as you age, which could cause problems.
