Does libido decrease with age?

Hi ButtLady,

Got ya' by 15 years!! yes I know!! You have the situation pegged!!! "No Pun Intended!!'

with a "KinkyKlick!!!!!!!!!!,"

Mine was fine until i had to start taking drugs for prostrate problems and then things went down hill.

The libido is fine but the physical part has declined. I would like sex every day, but it takes a few days to recharge.

My wife and I are retired and have lots of time to play. She teases and denies my orgasms in an effort to keep me horny all the time. We have sex between 2 and 4 times every day, and when we are not having sex, I can't keep my hands off my wife...she has to shoo me away.

As stated before me, my passion to do sexual things is as strong as ever. Maybe even stronger because 1) I can talk about it intellectually on sites like this, so I get to knowing exactly what I like and why I like it, and 2) as a disabled person in an ablist society tat doesn't understand our sexual needs, I have been deprived the experience of sex.

In my case it doesn't. I'm retired and I have more time to think to erotism and sex. The difference is how to reach the result and how long it lasts.

I don't think my libeto has decreased, but I think my tolerance has decreased.

When I was 16 I wold fuck about whatever I could.

Now sometimes I will flirt with an attractive women and to coin the old phrase, she was really hot until she opened her mouth. My tolerance for stupidity and bunch of other things has went way down.

I still really enjoy my cock but is no longer drives me.

They say the brain is the powerful sex organ and I can't agree more. As I get older, and perhaps less capable in some respects sexually, I think my powerful mind takes over and actually gives me greater and stronger orgasms.

Going to be 45 this year and would say I am as horny as I was in my late teens . Know what works and what doesn't work is always the key

If anything - it's stronger at age 69. Minor performance problems, but I want it - do it - every day. Wife is disabled, so it's solo. ZB is a good source of uno and inspiration - knowing there are similar minder folks out there who don't appear to be total creeps! Makes me feel accepted and normal (to some extent!).

It decreases when you pop out your third kid! I'll say that much!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of the older gentleman that went to his Dr. and asked that he lower his sex drive.

The Dr. said he was surprised that his sex drive was so high as to be a problem , considering his age.

The man said that his sex drive was all in his head, and he wanted it down lower.

Not in my case. In my 60s it's as strong as ever, maybe even stronger.

As mentioned by anng earlier, as a mature male I feel the same and my fantasy thoughts have substantially increased leading to stronger orgasms.

Libido probably does wane with age. That said, I'm amazed (and delighted) how strong it still can be when the circumstances are right.

Heck no... Thank goodness for Cialis !

Nope. The body may not be quite so willing but the desire is still there.

I'm a 55 yo and I find that if anything it's increasing and my inhibitions are far less and I am way more interested in experimenting and getting the most out my sexual endeavors.

Hi. I am 55 yo Male. I have been told that desire decreases as you age. I haven’t found that to be true...yet. I am still masturbating a lot. Stay hard for hors and hours. I agree with a previous post about inhibition being less as you age. I think you care less and do what you want

You are NOT old ---- yet! But at 70 (next week) I agree. At least as horny as when I was a teenager!

I cannot say that my libido has dropped as I've aged; what I can say is my "performance" isn't what it used to be....

Started on BP meds last year when I turned 70 and getting and maintaining an erection is hit or miss anymore. I seem to be better getting erect when the summer-time temperatures are around. The days of a "blue-veined throbber" have sailed for me, but as far as horniness goes, there's still "fire under the boiler".

Use it and enjoy it while your young and can still perform; you don't know what aging will do for you.

Probably so, but when it happens, oh my, good as when I was younger, just doesn't happen as frequently.

Mine definitely has decreased with age, and medication, I am now in my early 70's.

I consider it to be a small miracle if I get any erection worth calling such.

@gman44, I feel sorry for you. I think I am still as horney as ever but much less likely to put up with female antics to scratch that itch.

Not for me. I continue to have the same kind of insatiable drive I have had for the last 40 years. I wonder if it will ever subside, as it never takes much to get me spun up.... a beautiful woman, a strict nurse, thinking about what could happen on the next visit to the clinic. Boom!

I go to the Low T center for a weekly Testosterone injection, my libido has sky rocketed since I started going 8 years ago. Im in my mid 50's

All these discussions seem to be from men. As an older female i can tell you my labido is like when i was young. Older women make better lovers. We know what we want and dont play games. We age like fine wine

No. At least for me it hasn't. I'm 48 and I think I'm hornier now than I was as a teenager.

48 and you think you are 'old'? Ha ha ha. Man, if you only knew how many older guys think that 48 is still young. Lucky you. Don't let the following years go to waste.

@toshe63

Well said! I only wish I knew back then what I know now that i am old about being a smarter and better lover!

No, your libido is there. It is knowing how to use and enjoy the touch. Men need to pay more attention to what makes a lady smile and feel good. COMMUNICATION can be one of the best tools when it comes to sex/love.

Seems that libido is pretty complex, having both physical and psychological components. Our hormones change as we age, lessen. But for me, the psychological or mental side of libido just keeps growing. In a very real way, my libido has increased with age, not decreased because it's a whole lot more cerebral now than when i was younger.
