Obviously, it depends on the individual....but.... there are ALOT of men in this age range that have a high libido as well as those who suffer from low libido and/or impotence. I think generally speaking, a Man of this age wants to satisfy his wife and prove to his own ego that he can still accomplish just that . I think alot of it depends on the wife whether she is a good willing sex partner and if she is not too overboard on her emotional state at that age ; I think many married men are not outstanding Lovers because of living with a woman whos emotions are all over the place and the challenge it is living with such a woman. And thats not to say that Men are perfect at that age either...but a real bedroom-killer is alot of emotional turmoil in a marriage on a daily basis.
LOL. There ya go. I wondered how long it would take for a man's low libido (decreased testosterone levels) to be blamed on women.
A lot depends on a man's physical health, too, even beyond low testosterone. Smoking, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, obesity--all of these things can affect either drive or function (and with men, sometimes if the function goes, the drive goes shortly thereafter for psychological reasons if they're too reserved or embarrassed to talk to their doctors about it).

I'm gritting my teeth in trying to give 7.5 the benefit of the doubt: Maybe he's talking about the mood swings some women suffer with menopause. I don't think it's a slam on the sisterhood to say that among those who do, not all of them handle it well. My eldest sister certainly didn't.

Im certainly not trying to be unkind , but, having just finished reading the popular book called 'Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars' ... which is an excellent book on the continual daily emotional struggles of women with their 'waves' and general emotional makeup....im willing to bet that MANY men in their 50's want to stay single/divorced so they can have some semblence of peace and tranquility in their lives without getting sucked into the whirlwind (again) including womans Menopause being the great (oftentimes fatal) Dragon. I think it is a very real consideration for men regarding remarriage in the 50's . Ive talked to men who simply dont want to risk it and experience yet another divorce so close to retirement age. I frankly wish that women and men were a little closer on their emotional makeup and compatibility , for, it would make for better communication and happiness ; the general statistic of 65% divorce rate for second time marriages seem to indicate otherwise.

Maybe. My life experience would indicate if a man has a strong sex drive a little PMS or down right menopause meltdown wouldnt deter him from his ambitions.
I can see the point about remarriage. But as there is viagra for the low libido there is hormone replacement for menopause.

Wow!
Marriage is a dynamic formula, two people plus relatives.
Both spouses will have some level of emotional baggage; and as they both age there will be health issues that arise to interfere with dynamics.
When either spouse becomes dis-interested in intimacy; then it stops. Regardless of you drive, it stops.
After 20-years of marriage, or 25 or more; do you really just drop it all and walk away simply because your spouse is not interested in intimacy?
Anyone doing that would be a bastard IMHO.
The result is going to be a lot of older couples that are celibate.

Ideally, neither should allow themselves to become disinterested ; if they see it happening routinely, then its time to make an appointment with a marital/sex Counsellor . Even though sex in a marriage amounts to 2% or less per week (3.4 hours total) , it should be treated importantly and wisely. I agree with you, that you dont walk away if your spouse becomes disinterested...but you do try to work on improving the situation ..and each spouse needs to understand THEIR obligation to sexually satisfying their spouse (And if the 'thing' becomes vertically challenged, then there are other ways ) .
Yes ideally neither spouse should allow themselves to become elderly. I just don't see why folks allow themselves to become disabled either.
Why doesn't everyone simply stop it all at 25 when their at the peak of their health, just hold that pose forever
/sarcasm
We all become elderly ... usually the body first then the mind . Even if the sexual intimacy wanes or comes to an end, there is still the enjoyment of just laying next to one another in physical and emotional closeness . The affections never have to end , nor shouldnt . I think after couples are married for so long, that they tend to take each other for granted and/or become apathetic about their responsibility to meeting their Spouses closeness-need. Shame to those who do.
