I had heard more masculine (higher testosterone) women like sex more and more often than more feminine women. - Gaddflye
That's why many peri- & post-menopausal women find their sex drive skyrocketing. As the estrogen goes down, the testosterone goes up | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 9:01:34 AM | | Testosterone which supplies the body with sperm and libido works on a negative feedback system so the more you use the more your own body will be inspired to replenish itself , this seems like a exception though not reality. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 1:22:39 PM | If your overall health is low, your sex hormones are likely to be low. If your overall health is good, your libido can still be low if your sex hormones are low.
My boyfriend of 4 months and I are both fit, he's 58, I'm 54. live about an hour apart and generally spend the weekends together, a few times have spent 4-5 days together. If VERY tired from travel or staying up late the night before with erotic romps, we have skipped one day. But our usual lovemaking is usually several cycles of build up, take a break, perhaps swap massages, build up some more, take another break, perhaps a snack like fruit and nuts, and finally go over the edge with some very intense climaxes.
With an exciting and compatible partner, 2 people who are fit and with good hormones can have very active sex lives in mid to late 50's.
I'm post menopausal and use OTC bioidentical progesterone cream regularly and OTC bioidentical estradiol a few times a week. I can 'sense' when I need more or less of the creams. I at times also use DHEA, a hormone precursor and have had my saliva levels tested. DHEA is also a precursor to testosterone for both sexes. If T is low for either sex, and it is important for women, there probably won't be much libido.
I use my libido as an overall indicator of my well being. Lower than normal and I'm very tired or under some significant stress or have been slacking on the supplements above.
Also, the aptly named Horny Goat weed which has compounds that do affect libido and overall well being, can boost my libido even higher without making me feel 'speeded up'. Used several times a week for its overall adaptogen effects and an hour or so before sex, it enhances my already good libido and intensifies climaxes.
I have it in bulk powder and take about 1/4 teaspoon. | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 3:45:02 PM | At the big 50...If the libido here gets any better it's going to be found to be illegal. I have always been a horn dog but in the last few years it's totally increased.
Gee, no wonder that a serious desire for a monogamous relationship is years off. | |

...So I think being fit and healthy and attitude play a huge role.
Good point! Having a positive attitude, eating right, doing exercise, and sleeping well will be very helpful for your healthy sex life to last... | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 8:45:12 AM | My last gf and I lived two hours apart and we would try not to go more that 3 days without sleeping together. We spent almost every weekend together and it was not unusual for us to spend the weekend in bed and lose count of how many times we made love. It was like making up for all the sex we didn't have in our marriages. It was fantastic. That went on for more than two years. Unfortuately, other things got in the way and that relationship ended. Not only is my libido as strong as ever, I think I know more about how things work than I ever have and the sex just keeps getting better. I hope to find a new partner who enjoys it as much as I do.

Posted: 4/30/2009 10:51:31 AM | Hey, just let lose and enjoy. Why wonder why. In life that is one little pleasure that is all yours. Everyone is different and every couple is diffent. Some get more enjoyment in quanity and some just have great fun in the not so frequent times but make it all so good. Key to all of this is to talk to each other. Everything in life has peeks and valleys. Life is all so short and can change is the blink of an eye. Get pleasure and love the one your with. Just me. And some just come into their own later in life. And sometimes it is just the person they are with. Kissing releases harmones and starts the dance. If you have it just enjoy it I say. I am managomous and those don't need to read anything into my thoughts as I am very picky. I know if we truly know our own bodies we can really enjoy life for what it is.
Men and woman have such different issues. Being healthy helps at any age. Over 50 odds are that we are not looking for a baby daddy, and no longer even have to worry about that. So let lose and enjoy your life. Really just enjoy your life. Sex is healthy in many areas of our life. | |

Posted: 4/30/2009 1:15:45 PM | Friendly Lady,
I've had a healthy libido all my life and expect to have it until the day I die.......
I agree totally. In fact, since I've hit my fifties, even more so.
......but only in a monogamous relationship..............
I agree with this too. I've never been one for multi-tasking.

Posted: 4/30/2009 9:35:11 PM | In my fifties we tried to beat our record of five times in one day but were just too bushed. As age caught up, Viagra came to the rescue by prolonging the event which made it pleasurable for both of us. Its nothing to be ashamed of. It will eventually catch up with all of you. Thank God for the new medicines!  | |

Is it common for someone 57 years old to want sex almost every day or sometimes twice a day??
Clearing my throat a little here. It is very normal to want it twice or more times a day when you are in your 50's.. Once a week is very abnormal!!!

Posted: 8/5/2009 4:04:23 PM | This may be explosive but this was posted earlier.  My question is: Ladies, how appropriate would this question be? My initial guess is somewhat negative. However, in the early stages of dating both want to find out if they are as close a match as possible. Perfect matches, obviously, only happen on TV and in movies.
I'm not into sex on the first date or very early on but once it happens it has a way of connecting people (no pun intended ) emotionally and then to find out incompatability in this area can be a real disappointment once it happens. Especially if the previous spouse was low in the labido arena. Like every other subject to be discussed and explored is this a valid inquiry? | |

Oh and whatever you do don't take Celexa/Cymbalta if you want to continue to have a healthy libido  | |

Is it common for someone 57 years old to want sex almost every day or sometimes twice a day?? I am not complaining, that my bf has the libido of a teenager, but I do find it a little odd. My last relationship before this one, it was once a week like clock work.
It is within the normal range, as is the once a week like clock work. | |

Posted: 8/6/2009 3:35:49 PM | Thing is, David, if you don't ask, you won't know. And not knowing leads to a lot of pain, one way or the other, eh? Asking is vital, as is telling. And as early as you think there is a real chance of a connection.
Good luck!

Twice a day? Better have him checked out.
Personally, I've lost my sex drive... I'm down to masturbating only five or six times a day. If there was a woman around, I'm sure I would pick up the pace. | |

I understand "if you don't ask you won't know". However, I can't count how many times women on here complain about men who bring the subject up early on. | |
