So, is it normal to just not care about sex at a certain age? I know that for women menopause can change a lot, but what about men? I have a friend who is 70 something and he sure hasn't lost his libido, but I think that is the exception rather than the rule. As for me, it just seems like I spend my time thinking about other things. I'm not happy about this, but maybe it's just my age and the fact I won't be procreating anytime soon (i.e. never). Yeah, I am at that menopausal age - the change.
Of course, a lot of losing desire could have to do with the stress of unemployment and uncertainty on my end, plus a lack of someone special that I trust! Anyway, what is normal and what is not? This does have me somewhat concerned, in that I hope it's not all over for me.
I'm not married and I don't follow. Call me slow but it's almost midnight here.

I see. Hmmm. Just seems like the best I ever had was in relationships that didn't go anywhere. I was more or less roommates with my ex husband. I'd hate to think I completely missed that "window of opportunity."
Anyway, I wonder how it is for men. I know they deal with ED and all. Maybe that makes them not care as much? Maybe it's embarrassing? I am just wondering if it's normal to hit this age and just prefer to swing on the porch with lemonade. Both for men and women?
I had a period of about 6 years when I could not care less about IT.
There were other things on my mind and I was more than happy to have a break from that side of myself.
I think WHO you are with also impacts on IT and stress levels and life and health and all kinds of things.
Just because you don't care about it now doesn't mean you'll never care about it again. If you're happy enough without, just be happy and don't worry so much about "your window" closing. You know what they say about those? When one window closes another opens.
I think you have enough on your plate right now to worry about 'what you are feeling' and what is normal sexually.
Being unemployed is enough to make you 'disinterested' in that.
Like others say, you have to find the right guy/girl and all will be okay.
I have an acquaintance who is probably in her late 50s who I happened to be talking to once (see people tell me all sorts of things, I should have been a psychologist...) and she said she divorced her husband of 8 years (recently) because he didn't want to 'do it' anymore but she did...
The weird thing is the guy is still always around as 'friends.' (okay..).
Physically a woman goes through so much (with hormone fluctuation). I have had some problems with perimenopause but now I have been on medication and it's helped a lot.
Certain medications can change the desire for sex. Are you taking antidepressants or high blood pressure pills?

Both for men and women?
