No, it is not at all normal to LOSE your libido. It is normal for it to wane as you age. It's normal for it to really subside if you're in pain or acutely sick. When you're sick it's expected that you'll take action to heal and recover, and that your libido will come back. If it doesn't, it is normal to seek out medical help to get it back to its regular state.

Plenty of women in their 50s and 60s and even some in their 70s are having great sex lives. Most of those are probably not having sex with the same man they married at 25. But that's a different discussion. Having a libido, even a reduced one, is normal throughout life.

And 60 is not old in anybody's book, or it shouldn't be. I thought 60 was old back when I was a dumb teen. Hell, I thought 30 was old back then. Macron's wife is 72. She's not a celebrity sex status symbol that none of us could realistically look to as a role model for aging well. She's just a normal woman who is a mom and wife. Michelle Obama is 62. Does anybody here honestly think she isn't still having sex with her man or that the two of them would think it's normal to not have sex?!?! Gabby Giffords is 55. I could go on...[/quote]
