Does libido decrease with age?

You people don't know what old age is.. I'm 91 and I no longer can orgasm and I wonder if any others IN MY AGE GROUP have had a similar problem. Don't want to hear from anyone younger than my children.

Well I'm 84 and just recently have joined the dead willy club.

@roscoe Is the brain still horny even if the willy is not listening?

Libido is the “desire for sex”, not the ability to perform. Lots of us still have strong libido (desire) for sex and adapt sexual practices to satisfy the desire.

Older but not dead yet! 😀😀

My libido has slowly tamed down since I was younger. I’ve always have had a unusual libido cycle. From Fall to Spring it’s extremely active and in the Summer months it slows down. I don’t believe I will ever be a member of the dead willy club as long as I am living, women are so cute and beautiful, my willy still has a mind of its own and comes to life easily.

oh yeah

Like an old car i may start but that doesnt mean i can do the 0 to 60 in 5 secs anymore

In men, libido does decrease with age. However getting pleasure from enemas and BDSM can maintain sexual satisfaction.

Mine didnt!

My erections have decreased, in duration, thickness and hardness, since I was 20. But my libido?

Men who are feeling like their libido is decreased would do well to have their testosterone level checked. That can fall off with age and can also be corrected with hormone therapy.

And it is more important to check than just libido - it turns out that low testosterone can lead to osteoporosis in men. As I'm finding out the hard way.

I wonder at what age a doctor would say that this is the normal progression of life and learn to accept it? I suppose it would be said in a more roundabout manner, but still essentially telling an older guy to just suck it up.

That would be the age where it's time to find a new doctor.

I have a notion that most doctors in my city would think like I described (flippantly). Belgians are not known for their understanding of sensuousness or understanding the need for sexual intimacy. They're actually quite a bunch of prudes from what I can tell from my experience.

There’s mixed advantages and disadvantages of testosterone therapy or supplements. Fifteen years ago my urologist put me on Androgel for low T. It was still in the normal range, just on the low side. I felt better, more energetic but I also started going to the gym regularly and working out harder. When I went on Medicare I didn’t qualify for it so I sopped. My doc told me to keep exercising and that was probably effective in keeping it up. I still feel energetic - and horny - so I think the exercising and life style had more to do with how I felt than the testosterone supplement.

The medical community has mixed thoughts about the pros and cons. It can also have downsides for some men. Lots of hype out there about natural supplements advertised but I tend to put that in my bullshit file.
