It's a fact that testosterone levels drop as a man ages, which generally means a lessening of sex drive and more difficulty in performing although YMMV. Nothing at all to be ashamed of. If it bothers a man, he certainly shouldn't be reluctant to explore Viagra, etc.

Personally speaking, at 52, I can admit sex isn't the preoccupation it was when I was in my 20's. it's kind of nice not being a slave to that maddening male sex drive. A lot of good men go astray chasing that elusive triangle.
Thats being honest. Exactly what I have heard from my older male friends.

I can often keep an erection for an hour or more, which gives my girlfriend plenty of time to have plenty of orgasms. And there are plenty of times when I still have not come, even after all of that. So, after rest breaks, I can still go for another round, which can add up to an entire evening of sex.

Luckily my gf (age 40) is hypersexual and multi-orgasmic and she is totally in love with me so she is super-attentive. The bottom line is that I'm actually having the best sex I've ever had in my entire life. The only downside is that sometimes I end up not cumming at all. This is not too bad tho because, given my somewhat lower sex drive, I feel no sense of urgency about the fact that I didn't come. I simply wear out and it's not any real problem. I can just go to sleep, thinking that I've still got juice for the next day, if gf wants it.

The other downside is that without viagra my erections are very unreliable. I don't like that, but it seems to be my reality now.

I am planning to check testosterone levels. All things considered, I would still rather come, and I would still like to recapture some of the sense of intensity that I have lost. But even if I can't recapture the lost mojo, it's not much of a problem. I'm still having the best time of my life, so I have no complaints.
Way too much information

I am 51.

I feel that my drive is the same as it has always been. I feel like I would want sex daily.

I have not had sex for years though, so it may all be just how I feel. I honestly do not know if I would still be desiring sex daily if I were actually in a sexual relationship with a female.

You are probably right. I guess I am an "exhibitionist" in a variety of different ways.

Still, I hope someone might find it useful to know that even some of the down-sides of getting older can have up-sides as well. It's good to know that, despite being over half a century old, when opportunity knocks, I can still rise to the occasion.

Yay, something funny around here.

A little old couple in their eighties was sitting on the couch watching the Playboy movie channel. He looked at her and asked, "Do you think we can still do that?"
"Well, we can sure try!" she answered. So they shuffled off to the bedroom. He went into the bathroom to get ready and she took off all her clothes in the bedroom. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw her standing on her head in the middle of the bedroom floor.
"What are you doing, sweetheart?" he asked.
"Well," she replied, "I thought if you couldn't get it up, maybe you could just drop it in!"

Your profile states "Married". I've always thought there was Mrs. Beekeeper, busy with beehives.

The drives aren't quite as often but are much longer and more scenic.

My first marriage ended in a decade+ of no sex, so most of my sexual years have been since my late 40s. I had a lot of catching up to do, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. For me, late 40s and early 50s was pretty wild.

No, it was not too much information, please don't think that, this is what I wanted. Details. Your post was incredibly insightful and helpful. Thanks for going on that limb. Appreciated.
