To answer the OP's question: Human beings are sexual ANIMALS - and gender is fluid - so the answer "yes" in terms of generalities - every individual is unique.
It kind of boggles the mind that this is even a question.
Not necessarily post menopause, but supposedly their desire peaks in their late 30's / early 40's. That happened with my 2nd wife and all my happy memories of good sexual experiences come from those years. Who knows what might have happened if she hadn't gotten sick and died on me.
So sorry that you lost your wife, Mordant.
On another note, I'm mid-40s and still feeling it big time!
You seem to discount the mechanism of orgasm and what happens physiologically, i.e., feelings of security and bonding. Evolution doesn't just "care" about pregnancy; the child has to survive infancy and grow up to continue procreating. Humans are social animals and live in groups for a reason.
I don't discount them or I wouldn't have had the keen interest I did in sex. I just haven't been smart enough to choose partners who are as capable of intimacy as they could be and as I want to be.
Strictly speaking, evolution optimizes for the fittest to pass on their genes and nothing more. The nurturing of children is part of what promotes that indirectly, but technically once you have reproduced, evolution is done with you. Besides, sex isn't the whole story when it comes to staying together. After my 2nd wife was sick enough the sex ended but I stayed, right to the end. That's known as loyalty and devotion, which by definition trumps mere rutting and goes way beyond evolutionary impulses. It's just not as much fun :-)

Are you on tumblr ? I notice that a lot of social justice types love to give their opinion on which questions should even be pondered at all.
It was a board with a hole in it, that sat upright between the man and the woman. He put his thingee through it to...ya know, have intercourse. No lady would allow a man (even a husband) crawl all over her like an animal. Only prostitutes did that. It was stored under the bed and brought out when the man wanted to "do it." Very common, but almost never talked about - for decades, in fact, despite its interesting nature. It was done away with sometime in the 19-teens or twenties. Nobody ever said why.
Well sexuality and its promotion and celebration is wrong, per modern psychology of the past decade or so. Any living per modern society is "wrong" per their standards, such as not believing in God, using ICT, etc. Yes, I sound like a broken record, but then it's just an opinion
If I'm with a man I'm really connected to, I want it all the time - often more than him.
If I'm not with someone, I can go without, no problem.
Same here. I think this is true of a lot of women. Once they're in a relationship, their drive exceeds their partner's.
