Sex drive (wife, senior, issues, years)

[Autumn07]

I was just wondering around what age does a man's sex drive generally start to fade away?

Hmmm...I'm still humming along in fifth gear. And I'm 46.

I'm 54 and still have the same raging hormones I had as a teenager. Unfortunately, as I said in another thread, my wife's health issues makes sex kinda rare.

I think it can be strong into your senior years depending on the stress in your life and your level of happiness.

just about the same time the other sex begins to drive (instead of him).

It would be a welcome change when things start to change under the hood if you know what I mean

They say it peaks in late teens, so I reckon it's on a downhill slope from that point -- thankfully it's a gentle slope. I'm 63 and still have a healthy sex drive. My dad would have been in his late 70s when Mom told my late wife that he was "always wanting more sex". Way to go, Dad! (Mom also admitted that she enjoyed it.)


Of course I didn't want to hear it! My MOM!? Having SEX!?? Noooooooooooooooo! Say it ain't so!

He was about 75 when he admitted, when asked by his urologist, that he didn't think about it all the time anymore. Otherwise it was OK. That was several years ago.
