is it true that when you reach the age of 45-55 your sexual desire will lessen?

At 48 my sex life went totally the other way! But honestly I don't think anyone is normal. We all seem to grow and change differently.

Many women aren't as interested in sex as they approach menopause. But there is help out there in the form of new hormone treatments. There is much controversy, however, as to the safety of these treatments.

I also think much of it has to do with the satisfaction women experience in their relationships and no drug can replace that.

So I don't think that anyone can predict how someone else might feel or react to sex as they get older. I think the thing to do is to stay healthy, love your partner and try to keep a good attitude about you. Sex is in your head after all, and not really in your body.

though i'm still a few years away from that number 45 i thing we all go through mid life crisis at just varying degrees. if they do and they are not hurting anyone more power to them. it takes alot more to act like a teenager at 45 then it does to be a teenager. at the end of the day we still have arthritis,heartburn and all the bills we accumulated.

well i am 43 and so far i haven't slowed down one bit

typical is 15 - 20 times per week

now that you asked this i don't know if i want to see 45 or not lol

now on the female side, i have heard this can happen, once they go through menopause, but thank god there are pills and patches to make them horny again

I always heard that a woman reaches her sexual peak in her 40s. Hurray for my husband! lol I have several more years to go yet til I'm 40, but it gives us more to look forward to. ;-)

Your friend should talk to her gynecologist (I've read something about female viagra - don't know if it's available or not) and try new things. Toys and such.

not true at all I'm 46 and mine is the same as its been all along. But if a woman is not happy then it can disappear,as for orgasm maybe her hubby could her more time per sesion in bed

My husband and I are in our 50's. We are very active in this area and things just keep getting better and better. We feel free to explore more possibilities now that the kids are grown and out of the house.

Im 55 and could enjoy sex twice a day if it were available.

nope--not at all. If there is a lesser sexual drive there may be a health issue or perhaps the feelings of intamacy have changed for her.

She is just bored. It happens to most people. There are about 20,000 suggestions as to what to do about it. Read one a couple of questions above you.

I hope not. But tell your friend to get some ky hot stuff, makes a world of difference for us older women.
