MEN: After what age does your sex life seem to disappear?

If you have a spouse or significant other... at what age do you start feeling like you don't want to do it nearly as often as you used to? I have a boyfriend who is quite a few years older than me... and it just seems like it's almost a little hard to keep up with me! I love him and I'm willing to make it work... but do you think that things will keep getting worse. I mean don't get me wrong, we have a wonderful sex life... it's just it's not as OFTEN as I'd like it to be..(everyday.. haha : ) i have the sex drive of a 16 yr old boy)

    That's a good question... I never thought about it. I hope I will be the rare case where it never goes away! LOL

    Perhaps he is having problems at work, stress can cause a lack of sexual desire. It could also be some medication he is on (you know how in the ads decrease in sexual drive is always a side effect)... then again it could just be a rare case of he is sleeping with someone else! Hopefully not.

    If he doesn't improve I would suggest you do either one of two things... if you are planning to be with him forever and ever take care of your own needs. Or if you don't see yourself growing to be 100 with this guy... start thinking about finding someone else, someone that will truly satisfy you in ever sense of the word, you owe it to yourself.

    Good luck

    I don't think age has that much to do with it unless there's a medical issue.

    I am 42, and when I was married to my first wife in the 1980's we had sex maybe once a month (mostly her choice).

    I have way more sex now (and sexual desire) with my 2nd wife than ever before. Having a baby has slowed the frequency down a bit (used to be 2+ times a day and now it's 2+ times a week).

    When there are times when I'm not quite in the mood, my wife will do things like run us a bubble bath, and I do the same for her. So it does take ongoing effort on both partner's parts.

    Do be careful talking to him about it, as not feeling like your satisfying your partner can be crushing to one's ego.

    I would start by doing extra special things to jazz up things; maybe lingerie, maybe get a hotel room for the weekend in your town, just to feel like a mini vacation, maybe arrange for both of you to get massages to relax, etc.

    You might also ask yourself what's changed from when the sex was more frequent. Does he work more now, or at a different job? Is that job more stressful? Did the two of you go out more before? Do you spend more time apart now or then?

    well i don't know mine hasn't fell off but i still don't do it as often as i use to cause the wife's has fell off so much.you didn't say your ages but most guys can keep going pretty often as long as they are in pretty good shape...i don't know what all yall do or how it is done but maybe you and he should visit an adult shop and grab some videos or toys to play with...maybe doing some different things will perk him back up. and if not then you will have you a few toys to play with in between the times when your needy.....but if all this fails find you a 18yr. old and give him some training....lol good luck

    It diminishes around 80 or 90. So you got a long happy life to enjoy!!

    Talk to him about what you would like and I'm sure he can rev himself up to keep up with you.

    Shoot, I know I would!!

    He's probably getting bored. See, guys are visual creatures. When we see the same thing over and over, it gets boring. Hence the need to sow our oats. Spice it up.
