Men over 65, what's normal?

Question

I have a great marriage and love my husband, but we no longer seem to connect..sexually. I am seven years younger, but I guess I don't know what's normal for a man this age, 65. We are both in good health and not obese. I am considered an attractive woman. I receive many compliments on my appearance and "style." I mention this because I have "not let myself go," as the saying goes. I'm not even really sure I want anything more than just a good, comfortable marriage, but sometimes I wonder....maybe it's just the time in life to let things die a natural death. Just curious, but please don't say how disgusting it is if you're 20 or 30. You'll be "old" before you know it!

Answer 1

I have just recently learned of something that may be at issue here.  I am only 48, but my libido was slacking.  I am married to a younger women (she's 29) and I often worry if I will be able to keep her happy over the years.  I should also add that I have diabetes (type 2).  My blood sugar is under very good control, so I didn't think that was the issue.  Even more so, it wasn't a question of inability; it was a lack of interest.  Extreemely frustrating.  So I talked with my doctor and it turns out that I had low testosterone.  It's very common in aging men, especially if accomponied by being over weight, smoking or diabetes. Check out www.androgel.com for some interesting information.  After starting on T-replacement , I have been...well, like I was in my 30's at least!  Good luck to you (and him!).  Other benefits are that I'm less fatigued and mentaly sharper.    

Answer 2

to the answerer above, that is not very helpful to this questioner. she is concerned about herself and her husband and not interested in how many times you 'service' your wife.

at 65 years of old, his s*x drive will diminish. you can't expect him to have the drive of a 20 year old. he can still give you lots of kisses and cuddles and pleasure you with his tongue and fingers even if he has erection problems.

Answer 3

Men over 65 can enjoy a healthy s*x life. I am 67 and service my wife twice daily. I might add she is a "knockout" and looks great for a 26 year old woman.
