| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 3:50:32 PM | | Ok so I have been thinking alot lately and I've noticed that I no longer get the strong sexual urges I use to get when I was in my 20's is it just me or does everyone have the same thing happen when they enter into their 30's. Now I know I would still have sex if the offer came about but I dont feel the need to go and actively search for it like I did when I was younger. Tell me there is nothing wrong with me here people. | |

| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 4:00:25 PM | You mean you're 30 and you AREN'T knocking one off every 20 minutes!!?? What on Earth is wrong with you!!??
Dude, don't sweat it. Let me be the 1st in a soon to be long thread of know-it-alls to remind you that the male sex drive peaks at 18-19 and takes a slooooowwwww dive after. Around thirty is actually when another big dip occurs, so unless you find yourself turning down Angelina Jolie for a night out bowling... reeelllaaaxxxxxx... | |

| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 4:22:35 PM | | Honestly, I think my sex drive is stronger now than it was then, don't ask me why... | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 4:33:48 PM | ^^^ It's obviously because you are SEX ON WHEELS!!!
Either that, or your dog knows how to treat a guy... | |

| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 5:33:03 PM | I haven't noticed any tailing off in mine, to be honest. But we're all different & all that stuff about when men & women are in their prime is an average, a sort of "in general" kind of thing. I wouldn't sweat it, unless your lass is insatiable | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 5:50:28 PM | | Mine are as strong as ever - I just control them better and realize that I aint gonna die if I go a few or several months without dating, sex, etc.. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/13/2007 9:46:18 PM | | I still have just as much sex drive as I did in my 20's, however, if I am not having sex, I don't think about it or want it as much. If I am with someone and having sex, I want them even more. So, I don't think mine has slowed down. Also, it is different now, I have learned more about myself since I was in my 20's. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/14/2007 4:57:49 AM | | misskiss, it's different for women...we peak in our 30's, while men are starting to slow down a little. LOL! | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/14/2007 5:05:41 AM | ^^^^
thast unusual -- all the 40 something year old women say that women peak in their 40's
hmmmm see your gender is very confused about itself
OP its not that your sex drive has fallen - rather it has refined -- i am sure now you wont bang the same bush pigs you would have when you were younger just to get an "empty" | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/14/2007 7:37:12 AM | Peak in our 30's? I sure hope not!! It just seems to get stronger with time..... | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/14/2007 7:49:54 AM | HAHA, who knows, we might peak in our 40s, I just got here, (just turned 40)so I don't know yet! I was just repeating what I saw on one of those shows you see on TLC or Discovery channel. It won't hurt my feelings if I peak in my 40's!  | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/14/2007 8:10:20 AM | | I don't plan on peaking....I am one of those continuous improvement freaks!!!! | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/15/2007 6:03:36 PM | OP,
Okay, I've felt that way after falling out of a relationship. It takes a while to get your head back in the game after you get your heart handed to you in a paper bag.
I remember once I had a slump and couldn't get past it for almost a month. My sugestion is find your self an older woman. Someone in her early to mid 50s. She'll work you through the old problem for sure. These gals simply won't take no for an answer. I'll bet they'll have you up and flying in no time.
Just a thought. J Mac | |

| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/15/2007 6:24:35 PM | | OP, I'm sure you could get a prescription for that problem with the hope of restoring your declining sexual desire. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/15/2007 6:44:08 PM | OP,
The serious answer to your question is you are most likely depressed. If you are spending time sleeping in stead of doing the things you previously enjoyed and have lost interest in dating along the way, you may want to get some help.
Try and work through the real issues without medication as they tend to reduce the sexual drive and that might not be a good thing for you. But depression can cause your issue.
Hope you don't mind the fun we have been having with this post....
As far as women and their sexual peake... I don't think they have one. My last 2 G/Fs are in their mid 50s now and neither of them have reached a peake. My 73 year old mother is gona kill her 53 year old B/F and he's gona die with a smile!

| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/15/2007 7:35:57 PM | I'm turning that magical age and in truth I think my sex drive is in overdrive - I'm WORSE than I was when in my 20's Think I actually have had my last few relationships fall apart because of my stamina and desire haha
But oh well I guess women either say the want it then when they get what they need - they don't bother trying to satify the guy / or they just can't handle it for longer than 20 minutes or so. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/15/2007 9:29:28 PM | Sadly, I have always had a high sex drive lol I don't see it tapering off either. And I'm soon to be 42~ BUT, I also think if you don't have it as often or at all, the urge does slow down a bit.
Start watching porn! Masturbate! Don't let it go to waste! | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/16/2007 5:45:50 AM | | Although it's different for each individual, I think the bunk about men peaking in their early 20's is a bunch of crap! If anything, mine has gotten stronger after my 20's, through my 30's and now at 42 it has shown no signs of slowing down. Maybe I'm just lucky, who knows. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/16/2007 5:10:15 PM | I really think my job is screwing thing up for me I put in 60-90 hour weeks and I never get a chance to go out so maybe my body knows there's no chance so it slowed my urges down | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/16/2007 5:17:25 PM | | ^^^what you just said suggests that its not your age but working long hours, which is stressful and can kill a sex drive stone dead. | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/17/2007 7:49:02 AM | | Around age 29, my desire went from merely hot to competing with the heat of the sun. Probably has something to do with the divorce as well, but either way, it's so much better now than it was in my early 20s (I was a late starter). | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/17/2007 8:42:55 AM | | Your quantity may be less....but I can bet your quality is better. In your 20's you prob did everything that walks.....In your 30's its an art you perfect...by the time you hit 40 you will be having some mind altering sex. Enjoy | |
|
| Sexual desire over thirty? Posted: 8/17/2007 10:27:10 AM | | OP, there's nothing wrong with you...maybe you simply got to the point where you realize sex, and thinking about it every 30 seconds, doesn't let you actually leads much of a life, and now you simply put sex in the priority where it fits for you at this time in your life. When we're younger it's like we're on the hunt all the time; like we have to get as much in as possible; and usually it's as fast as possible then also ;( As we get a bit older we tend to gain a different perspective on it, and while it's still important, what's more important is having someone we care about to do it with rather than going with just anyone. Maybe that's where you're at now. | |
