Im in my mid 60s and Im not interested in sex anymore, which I am fine with. So no, all these things dont have to be maintained.
You may not desire a full on relationship but are you saying you can no longer appreciate the feeling of an orgasm? No need for age related false piety.
I think it's totally natural and the exact point of this thread. Even at an older age, in romantic relationships or single, I've found people want their partners to be attractive, sexy, fit, as a major value including all the other goodies that matter like compatibility and intelligence. So there is a form of pressure to keep that up as an older person or risk being overlooked by other bachelors/bachelorettes.
There's pressure on that front from everyone. People generally look for partners that appear reasonably healthy. It really takes a lot of "extra" to date someone who is morbidly obese, has a major health problem etc., starting out.

omg ,, my mom is not going to like what i am learning here ...
i was reading the other day, and all i can say is Use it or Lose it. That applies to your body fitness, but also to sex. For females, going too long without a husband ( ie sex- i am old fashioned) can lead to vaginal atrophy or thinning of the walls.
Uh, no.
In postmenopausal women it’s the lack of hormones, specifically estrogen. That’s why low-dose estrogen is the mainstay of treatment for atrophic vaginitis.
"Sexually viable"? After 50 (or even 40) that doesn't just happen automatically even if you're fit and attractive!
Men and women many times need a little help in terms of keeping things up and keeping things slippery, as fluffy partially alluded to. Often women themselves don't know about all the changes that occur after menopause and blame themselves, especially when all the guy has to do is pop a pill and is ready to go. Both parties need to be aware and sensitive to possible changes and be willing to look into the best remedies.
I had a massive decline in libido beginning right around my early 40's (after a massive surge in my late 30's, which I think was my body going "Now or never!" regarding kids). It was very depressing because I was single and dating. Hard enough to compete with younger women, then you have to say "oh, btw, I'm pretty much dead from the waist down".
I tried so so many things (I had a great GYN who didn't dismiss it as psychological) to no avail. It was probably the most depressing feature of my life in that decade. Then in my early 50's I tried bio-identical hormone pellets (the kind Suzanne Somers writes books about). I couldn't believe the difference. Not only did my libido come back to life, all my symptoms such as hot flashes, being grumpy, no sleep ended to. I felt like I was alive again.

For females, going too long without a husband ( ie sex- i am old fashioned) can lead to vaginal atrophy or thinning of the walls. Thus problems. So, keep at it ladies! on a very regular basis. but of course, only with Mr right, your God-given husband. Other than that, try horseback riding. It might help.
Well, that’s not true at all — it’s not “use it or lose it”. It’s a menopausal thing. It happens to a lot of women, married or not. Painful sex is awful, and there is help. Talk it over with your doctor.
Definitely should have a best if used by sticker .... from what i see here it seems to have an expiration date like milk.
It’s odd that you would talk about little mathjak that way.
