I'm 48 and mine hasn't changed at all since my twenties. However, I exercise a lot, don't eat a ton of junk and have never smoked. If you do these things chances are good your libido won't change much. Smoking is the worst I think as that actually constricts blood vessels which obviously isn't a good thing. But then again, there are always pills! Keep lining the pockets of the big pharma industry.

I think it would be a blessing. But at 43, it hasn't slowed one little bit. Unfortunately, I'm still a total horndog.
I just had to respond to this thread because the general consensus seems to be that older men are generally, if not 100%, anemic and washed up when it comes to sex. Well, maybe some are, but not all. And I'm here to tell you that the major frustration for those few men who have high libido in their 60's is that their partner likely did not similarly maintain a sky high libido through menopause.
Not true at all in my case. I've always wanted it about once a day on average, in my teens, and now. No change. What's changed, fortunately, is I don't get nearly as many embarrassing boners from just seeing an attractive woman. So I feel more relaxed and in control of myself, finally.
And no, that's not all I could do in a session now. In particular, if I've skipped a day, I'm usually so worked up the next day that I'm more than ready for a 2nd time in about an hour (or less if I pushed it), and the orgasm on that 2nd one is more powerful than the first -- you sort of have to work a longer time for it and that somehow seems to make it stronger. Then a 3rd and 4th a few hours later isn't difficult. Basically, I can go again after only an hour or two recharge, no matter how many times I've done it before that day. But the orgasm is shorter and feels more numb and sore by the 8th time in a day. Never tried pushing it beyond that -- it takes too much time and doesn't feel all that good.
I didn't think this was anything unusual. The tough part is finding a woman who wants to put up with all this. My wife is "done" with it after 2 times. As she puts it, she doesn't want to spend all day having sex. Not exactly a compliment. So if I in any way unusual, I sure don't feel like my wife appreciates it.
I tell guys who think they're going to have a great time after taking Viagra: just make sure your wife actually wants to have sex. Like a lot of wives in menopause, they might be relieved to not have to deal with sex anymore. And a suddenly Viagra-happy husband chasing them around is the last thing they wanted.
You have to make it worth HER while. Unfortunately in this society women have more "chores" than men do, especially after the age of 50 or 60 since cleaning NEVER ends. So if you can't give her a couple "big O's" then she's definitely not gonna want to service you 3 times a day. Also, menopause can make PIV really painful for women...but there are some pleasurable alternatives she might appreciate more. Of course I'm sure you're in tune with any issues your wife might be having and doing all you can to smooth those out...right?
People tend to attribute a decrease in male libido primarily to age (late 30s or early 40s) which in most situations could be the case. A change in biology, physiology, etc.
But with guys that have normally had a high sex drive combined with two decades of consistent sexual behavior with women: When they get older, in some cases, it is not a decrease in libido due to age and getting older - but rather due to the fact that they have already experienced any and all aspects of sexual intimacy with women and a lot of it and on a psychological and even emotional level, get to a point where they no longer have as much interest in something they have already experienced a lot and on numerous levels.
So in that case, it is not a biological response due to age, but rather a profound psychological change, having experienced different aspects of their sexual lives to the fullest extent and not really seeing any reason to continue pursuing the same level of sexual gratification that they did when they were younger. It's kind of like: been there, done that and got the t-shirt. At some point, a man realizes that there is more to life than experiences the same things over and over again.
Libido practically never decreases, the ability to preform on the other hand...different story.
Thankfully I am still blessed with a good ticker and circulation.

Cardio exercise is fundamental! Keep the circulation going to all parts of the body. lol

Nicotine is the worst thing for your circulation. Doesn't matter if you smoke or chew it, it's bad.
I'm over 60. From what I remember, I think I noticed a slight decline about 35, and since then its been a slow steady decline. I'm just glad its not gone yet. Keeping up your health helps. Get some exercise. Keep you weight down, and minimize your alcohol consumption. Lifestyle can affect libido just as much or even more, in some cases, than age.
I've got enough bad habits, thankfully smoking isn't one of them.

Yeah, I'm mid 40's and need to get in better shape, I'm starting to feel my age a bit more than I should.
I need to lose some weight.
I don't know how really really heavy people do it, I'm so uncomfortable at this weight, I couldn't imagine carrying around more.....I'm not trying to be mean to fat people, I'm just sayin....
