The most important thing for a man over 40 to do is maintain good physical fitness. If you work out hard, and supplement with critical essential nutrients such as zinc, your libido will stay strong.
I am nearing 52 and about 2 years ago started weight training, never missing than a few days and making sure I got all my essential minerals and nutrients. I not only look much better than I did in my 20's/30s, but my sex drive is just as strong. Women young and old are, shall I say... pleasantly shocked.
Granted, I always exercised regularly and was always fit since I was a teenager but the periodic trials and tribulations of life would sometimes slow me down and I would neglect my routine for months at a time. But your body has a "memory" resuming exercise makes it quickly snap back into shape, and from there it can be pushed further.
I believe a lot of men's libido issues are not physical in nature, but psychological, i.e., how he may be feeling about himself or his circumstances at the moment; or how he feels about his partner. She may not be attractive to him for one reason or another, especially if she is contributing to negative feelings about himself. Younger men easily overcome those psychological blocks because their "second" head is stronger than their first. Older men cannot for the opposite reason. Older men also have less time to waste on the wrong women, so no matter how good she looks, we may be less aroused by her if we know nothing good will come of it.
