Does more masturbation increase your sex drive?

As I get older my sex drive is obviously dropping. Does anyone this if you masturbate more, it will increase your sex drive?

My sex drive has increased as I have got older. I don't think that is unusual. Many people get more open minded as they get older and are willing to experiment more with sex, gender norms and relationship types.

Masturbation is just another form of sex! It gets your hormones running and your equipment serviced.

So yes, jerking off will defo increase you sex drive 😃

Does masturbation increase your sex drive?

Similar to the chicken or the egg question. Does your sex drive increase how often you masturbate? Each probably stimulates the other, or possibly, your sex drive drives you to masturbate or engage in sexual activity more often.

It’s a vicious cycle.

Also, more is always better and never enough.

Whst i hsve noticed is that as you get you get more horny and high sex drive. But the timing and energy might be low. Most men who i saw above 60s love masturbation.

Once we were in nude beach and there was a older couple near us and the guy was asking his wife to shake his boy. The lady was chilling with her book and refused to do it. If was funny because he was asking her alot of times. My gf then asked his wife if she could help him. She agreed and my gf finished him fast with oil. The man felt so relieved. I believe it is the same feeling for other old men too. Just anecdote evidences.

I totally agree to @Swiss_cheese and I like that, too! But I/we "still" enjoy our frequent and enjoyable sex life in parallel and NO, masturbation doesn't 'kill' my sex life with my lady, it enriches a lot. Especially when she isn't around and I'm so horny during the day.

Wonderful! Happy to hear that. Is it true that men gets more active and women gets passive as they get older? I lost interest in masturbation after I started sex but I do enjoy masturbation from someone else. I feel less connected and lazy when I do myself. I am lacking that motivation. My and my gf live in different cities so we meet only meet weekly. She is in Geneve and I work in Bern. We tried video sex for fun but it was not effective for both of us.

It is, more or less... unfortunately, regarding the females's part. I'm separated from my wife since 8 years now. She's 3 years younger than me and it started at her already then.

Thanks god, now I have a lady which is 7 years younger than me and our sex is so good. I neither lose interest in masturbation, nor in sex with her. As I said, a quite good addition/enrichment after all. During the day, when I'm alone at the home office, I recall the scenes of sex we had or fantasise of those we will/might have while I'm that horny and start to masturbate.

To me, your situation being separated in different cities during the week might be nothing for me anymore. I need my girl by my side, not just for sex. I love her aura next to me and the time we share. Maybe it's also a sign of matured age? Not sure.

My wife and I are both in our late 60s have learned the sad, but inevitable and obvious truth that not only does the sex drive diminish with age, but also the ability to orgasm. And we think that masturbation may positively affect the sex drive by keeping it top of mind, if you masturbate on a regular basis. And masturbation may help sustain the ability to orgasm longer because if you don’t use it, you lose it.

We have found something that increases the sex drive, in spite of age: We stopped worrying about the orgasms.

It seems like for most of our sex life during our 46 years of marriage, we focused so much on reaching the orgasm that we often overlooked or missed some of the fun along the way. That is, we were so intent on getting to the destination of orgasm that we sometimes missed how great the scenic journey was that got us to the orgasm. The orgasm lasts 10 to 30 seconds, maybe a little shorter or longer, and sometimes when it’s over, you wonder what it was, and, when push comes to shove, no pun intended, you have a hard time describing what it really was, and sometimes, within minutes, the orgasm becomes a distant memory and you may even wonder if it really happened at all. And within minutes of climaxing, the drive to continue with the lovemaking wanes. If you avoid the O, the sex drive and the interest in lovemaking lingers much longer.

The fooling around that leads up to the climax can and should last much, much longer than a short-term orgasm, and unlike the fleeting orgasm, and you can remember and relive virtually every aspect of the fooling around anytime down the road.

With or without aging, you can rediscover how much fun it is, how intimate it is, and how emotionally-connecting it is to just pleasure each other with foreplay without worrying about trying to reach the orgasm. You can revive the excitement of making out while naked as well as the enjoyment of slow lovemaking while gently rubbing and fondling and suckling. You can learn to enjoy all the sensations of pleasurable petting and prolonged penetration even more than the actual climax. Fool around like this today without climaxing and you will look forward to fooling around again tomorrow, and the next day.

On a side note, we used to think that the ultimate orgasmic experience, which we achieved two fingers less than a handful of times in 46 years, was to orgasm simultaneously. It was a bit of a letdown each time because we both found that we were concentrating so much on observing each other's orgasm as it happened that we neglected to enjoy our own orgasm that was happening at the same time. So, once we achieved the definitive orgasmic achievement three whole times, we stopped trying to achieve it. We found double the pleasure in orgasming separately. I was able to fully concentrate on and enjoy my own orgasm while my wife observed me enjoying it and she was able to fully concentrate on and enjoy her own orgasm while I observed her enjoying it. Just saying . . .

My theory is that the more you "use it, the less you lose it." I hope to keep on "using it" for many more years as often as I can. Denise

I have always had a strong sex drive especially when I was younger, as I grew older it slowed down however it’s still active. I personally believe that masturbation as you get older is a very healthy way to stay healthy, happy and young. A healthy lifestyle and diet is also very important. As we age our body changes and foods and drinks that were once ok to consume now have a negative impact on us. So for me alcohol, milk, butter, large amounts of bread, greasy food like pork, bacon etc I don’t consume them anymore. I have lost weight which is good and I feel more active and my masturbation and sex drive has increased.

I completely agree with the comments above from vasbyt. As we age our bodies change and often reaching organism can often become more "complicated". But affection given to your spouse or partner never seems to disappear.

Over the 55 years of marriage the desire for intercourse has lowered significantly to about once a week, from the multiple times 20 years ago. Thank goodness for Cialis.

I devote quite a bit of time especially in the mornings when we do not have any commitments, to providing my wife a lot of intimate attention while we lie in bed. She throughly enjoys my efforts and set her mood in a positive direction for the day. She still organisms regularly, but appreciates just being the center of my physical attention, with no expectations. She claims she no longer masturbates when alone, something she often did when younger prior to going to work. Now she just wants me to provide her with experience. Loves the "scenery along the ride", but doesn't always need to actually arrive at the destination.

Like most young boys, once I discovered the feeling of ejaculation, did it every day. But now I rarely satisfy myself as it diminishes my desire to give my attention to my wife, due to the resulting lower testosterone. She sometimes has me kneel before her and masturbate to conclusion, so my system seems to work quite well, but that topic is for another page.

My sex drive continues into older age. If you don't have erections for sex you will reduce the strength of the brain-penis link. You must continue, even if you have to masturbate, my present condition as my wife is pretty much asexual. And Then you will have at least one more activity to look forward to. And continued sexual activity may also slightly reduce chance of prostate cancer,. The evidence is weak, but the pleasure keeps me continuing this :healthful" activity. I don't mind generating endorphins in mythology brain naturally!

I don't know if it's a menopause thing, I'm definitely in the thick of that joy but recently I've found that the more orgasms I've been having, the harder it is for me to have one. I'm needing clitoral, anal and vaginal stimulation simultaneously otherwise it's a weak and unfulfilling climax.

@Patientlywaiting .So sorry to hear you have hit the menopause. As a male I will never understand what you ladies have to go through. I dodged the hot sweats etc as my first wife kicked me out before she had that experience and my beloved new wife was post-menopausal when we met. May I assure you that life does go on and my beautiful blonde, now close to 70, assures me that sex has never been so good.

For me, absolutely yes! I masturbate at least once a day. Sometimes more if I'm in a horny mood. My body craves the pleasure & the orgasms. The more I have, the more I want. But then, my sex drive is pretty high, anyway.

My wife is 63 this year and still with high sex drive, but she has the same schedule as Drina explained below.

I have difficulties to keep up with her.

It most definitely does for me. Both sex and masturbation are like crack - the more I get the more I want.

I think so

At the age of 62 my sex drive is the same as it was when I was 22! I have some form of sexual activity a day whether it’s love making or masturbation, all moving parts are in working condition!

For me personally, I have found that the more I masturbate the lower my sex drive is. I prefer masturbating twice per week, but have the best experience the longer I wait in between sessions (every two weeks). The sensations are more intense and my drive is stronger.

Actually I have to say YES! And the fantasies running through my mind as I do masturbate, give me additional pleasures that I want to enjoy when with a partner.
