OK. Good question. I am an old man by any definition, and for me, if I wake with morning wood...? well, I just lie there and admire it.

Since my divorce a year ago from a 30 year marriage the beast has woken! From the first encounter post marriage. I'm in my 50s. I think age is less important then a healthy relationship with your own sexuality.

43. In the last year, it's really skyrocketed, but I made drastic changes to my diet and that seems to have improved things. Only, now I'm single and only date pornhub.

I feel it's gotten better with age. I'll be 40 this year and sex is much more enjoyable now than when I was in my 20's. I had lots of sex because it was fun and exciting when I was younger. I may not have sex as much now but when I do, it's never a let down. I'm more comfortable with my sexually because I know what I like and how I like it. Also, having a good partner helps.

I'm always using sex to stress relieve me. I wish I could have it every day, but that would not work out. Seeing as my friend with benefits is in the Air Force and works nights, I never see him. He sleeps in the daytime. I have not seen him since December. I will never go 9 months again without sex. I was a complete biotch to everyone. Lol. On my birthday I'll see my friend.

51, still horny as hell and still ain't gettin' much.

At age 68 approaching 69 I have lost all sexual desire. Am more interested in cuddling & intelligent conversation.

Mine's still really high and I'm still enjoying myself a lot. I'm 49 years old.

For me, it's not a question of age, it's simply a matter of the mind. When I feel sexy, l want sex. When I'm not feeling sexy, l don't.

After a marriage that left me feeling really undesirable, it took me a long time to come to terms with my body, and I'd be lying if I said l was completely at peace with it, but the progress I've made in terms of acceptance... It's been quite the journey. I'm still making peace with certain parts of my body, but I've come to actually love the softness of the few extra pounds around my middle, even if l haven't made peace with the way they look in the mirror.

I will say that with age, I've gotten better about knowing what l want and don't want, and I'm not going to settle for mediocrity in bed ever again. All it takes is some enthusiasm. If you can't bring that to the table, you won't be dining with me.

I had a marriage that didn’t promote sexual wellbeing throughout my 20’s and 30’s. Now in my 40’s with a partner that fulfills me, I can feel it returning, even over the last few weeks.

way back when men were men and giants walked the earth I would be up for a sexual relationship on its own. Now not so much. I would enjoy the excitement again but the partner is way more important now.

Pretty accurate

It hasn't.

It just takes all night to do what I used to do all night.

I'm as interested as I ever was but I'm really selective, maybe too much so. Only 3 partners in 54 years and none for the past 8 or so years. But that doesn't mean I'm dead or dying. Just means I'm looking for someone special.

Physically: From 160 to 0 in year thirty-six.

Mentally: I enjoyed my racing career but I'm happy to be retired!

I'm 73 but I have more sexual appetite than when I was younger. I think that a lot of that is that I understand myself a bit better these days and I'm out of the clutch of the church which told me that anything sexual is bad and sinful. I now know that's a lot of rubbish but my problems these days is that I can't really get it up because of ED. It seems that there are cures but they are damned expensive and beyond possibility for the retired person. On the other hand I can take matters into my own hands which I often do. I also know a non-sexual intimacy with a friend, we are as close as a committed married couple. We are both gay and to be with him makes electricity flow through me yet it doesn't have to be sexual, we just have a wonderful closeness and feel one with each other.

I've always had a healthy libido and I'm as sexually motivated and responsive as I was in my twenties although I'm 62. ED in many mature men has made me much more creative in the sack.

Yes, but I don't think it had anything to do with age. I was married to somebody that I ended up having no desire to have sex with. Bad sex will kill your libido dead, dead, dead. Then I got divorced. Then I met a man. He's gone now but he resurrected my libido. Oh yeah.

I have a libido stronger than that of a male, I'm told, but as a demisexual, I can take it or leave it. I can have as many orgasms as I want, either a male-like one-quick and explosive, or imagine myself as a female and have a long, slow, building one, or I can imagine myself as both at the same time and have a tsunami climax that about blows my gaskets.

But I only "take care" of it when the feeling starts to annoy me-a few times a month-and can take it or leave it. I usually leave it.

It was the same when I was married. My ex and I swapped gender roles, did mild S & M, played games, I could dress and act like a dominatrix, but when my husband was gone for the week at his airline pilot instruction job in D.C., he didn't even enter my head. I lived like a single.

well I am 52 and going through separation after a 25 year marriage that was always luke warm as far as sex went. Looking forward to the future. I miss the connection of closeness of it.

It's definately less important to me than it used to be -which seeing as I've become single again relatively recently may be a good thing

Well I think it's all part of the process. We have to accept what it is and evolve with it in ways to make it work. We can't be scare or frustrated. We're not 20 anymore and physically we won't get to the 20's accomplishments but we have the knowledge that we didn't have in our 20's so that compensates the difference. I wouldn't change a thing. I've learned a thing or two...

Recently divorced after 36 years and have had two sexual relationships since and found it to be a lot of effort, the last one fell in love the first week and wanted to get married. I find it easier to just take care of it myself as I am not interested in anything but having a friend with benefits.

It's hard to gauge, because I spent years in denial, trying to be a heterosexual male. Much of that time was spent single, because I really didn't relate to women well enough to date them (and my mother had raised me to believe that no man was worthy of any woman - and then wondered why I preferred the role of woman later in life.) Then I ended up in a near 20 year relationship with a controlling woman, who allowed sex only when she wanted it, which was about 3-4 times a year. Out of the other side of that, and accepting my preference for male anatomy, I've been having a whale of a time, and making up for lost time.

Change in libido? I still enjoy and want sex as much ever, but I don't need orgasms like I used to. Time was when that was the primary objective of any sexual experience. Now, I often prefer not to, though there are some days when it seems like the best way out of being all revved up and having no immediate outlet. What turns me on has very much changed. Like many a gay male in denial, I'm sure, most of my fantasies used to be about being made to have sex with men. Now, I fantasise about consensual sex with them instead.

The only real change I've noticed physically is that I am rarely able to summon an erection through thought alone these days, whereas I could do it very easily when younger. But the payoff of this seems to be that spontaneous and unwanted erections are a thing of the past (no more trouser bulge in the supermarket for no reason whatsoever) so I'll consider it a bonus.
