Is it true that the male libido plummets after 35?

It diminishes, not plummets, that's for the stock market
Seriously though, it does go down. This is due to reduced testosterone levels. We (I'm a guy) also lose muscle mass. Steroids anyone?
Actually steroids reduce testosterone levels and reduce the size of the male testes, just ask Arod

Seriously, we do lose muscle mass as we age. Working out does help us to keep it somewhat. And we do have a reduced libido. Now most guys will probably disagree with me. But miraculously about middle age (early 50s) it comes back for one last hurrah, usually with a girl much younger than ourselves.

Hey, I got a question -
How come if a middle aged guy goes out to a bar and tries to pick up a younger girl, he's a dirty old man. And if an older woman goes out to a bar and tries to pick up a younger man, she's a cougar?

What gives??
I think I like these smilie things.

As our sex drive dwindles, our wifes gets stronger. We have a safe word in case I feel a heart attack coming.
I believe Bill Cosby did a routine on it.

Only if the middle age man has plenty of money.

How come when guys sleep with a lot of girls he's known as "the man" but when a woman sleeps with a lot of men she's known as a "s lut"?

I'm 30. Can only speak for myself I would say my libido peak was 15-20, those years were crazy, kinda glad its not like that anymore or I wouldn't get much else done.

From 20 I would say its been a slow decrease. I imagine it will continue to decrease slowley.

Plummet no. Slow insidious decline yes.

So to counter this is don't get MMMS or Middle Age Male Syndrome or in other words get a BIG pot belly . Sadly you have to quit McDonalds and all that other crap food and also exercise is way important and i mean the high intensity type and not just simple walking or calisthetics as you have to raise your heart rate for 30 minutes as this keeps our male arteries flowing with blood and also keeps certain hormones levels high like Testosterone and DHEA and Growth Hormone as i'm living proof that those few things i've mentioned keep you young and potent .

Anyway that's my advice at 44.
