Semi-public job = semi powerful. And you work out. So, hot? Maybe? For a one night stand, no problem. |
| We are in our mid 60’s and we still have frequent sex. I went through menopause at 56 but I didn’t lose my libido though I do need a lot of lube to avoid irritation. My DH has never had an ED issue and we are both in good health so that really helps. After 35 years we still find sex with the same person to be very fulfilling and fun. I know I have no need for anyone else! |
Use it or lose it is very real!! Age-related vaginal atrophy can be halted by having regular sex. |
| I think you deal with a libido imbalance the same way you deal with any other issue in a marriage. Work on yourself, love each other, educate yourself, or divorce/have a bad marriage. The solution will look different for every couple. |
I’m 43. Very easy to date women 21-26 and also closer to my age. It’s women in the “want to get married and have a baby” age range that don’t date me. None of the much younger women who date me do so for long-term security, but I’m not fooling myself that I look better than an attractive man 15 years younger. Do look better than the average duds. |
New poster. I'm glad you're so fit, PP above, but could you stop with the implied dissing of menopause? You do realize that the "I'm nowhere close to it yet" commentary implies that, yay, you're staving off the evil crusher of libido, right? For you, and for the OP who said that "women have more trouble with [sex] after menopause" as if that is an incontrovertible, universal truth which nothing can alter: For some of us, sex actually gets much better after menopause. No more birth control to suppress libido, kids out of the house more often or altogether, etc. Our sex life improved greatly once I hit menopause and then improved again once our kid went to college. I know--people will come to post about dryness, husbands who can't get it or keep it up, lack of interest, etc. All real issues, no doubt. But all things that can be worked on at least to an extent. |
Lol “nowhere close” lady. 51 is the average age for menopause. |
+1 men are so delusional. If you manage to find a younger woman to be with, it is because she is either superficial/materialistic and using you for money, or has daddy issues and is crazy. Those are her priorities and she does not really like sex. She does not actually want to have sex with you. Women who like sex seek out sexually attractive men, not old guys. |

| I’m 46 and divorced and while it’s fun and ego building to date someone in their 20’s the magic ends when you realize that you have little in common other than fun and sex. It’s so much better with someone in their 40’s whose kids are older and you have a lot in common. And women in their 40’s are often better in bed than 20 somethings. |
Not in families where the females all go through it very late. That’s why is called “average”. You will have some that go through it at 36 and some not until 60+. |
Yep. My close to retirement age medical doctor DH has young nurses throwing themselves at him. While I’m sure it helps his ego, it makes him uncomfortable. |
| The “answer” to original question is self-help to deal with differences in needs. |
This. OP why do you think you women want to shag a 55+ year old guy? I mean, most older men are not that attractive to most younger women, despite what they might think. Nothing more pathetic than an old dude who thinks the young ladies want to sleep with him. |
LOL more bitter older woman cope. “He doesn’t want me, so the women he’s with must be broken somehow.” 😂😂😂 |
