Has aging made sex a greater priority?

[Goldenfinger]

So I’m not 60 yet but I can’t believe it’s closer than 40. I don’t think it’s a greater priority, but as the aches and pains of being rough on my body make me pay the next day. The priority is to meet the needs in a way that lets me walk not hunched over the next day.

Absolutely. I've written about it extensively on here but I'm 51 and I finally said I had enough sub par, secret masturbation. Told my church wife about my hunger and live of jacking off to porn stars but that I'd rather do this sort of stuff with her than in secret. We are still young and in good health and we need to take advantage of these times.

Does knowing you have less road ahead of you than behind affect your interest in sex?

As a younger man I didn’t mind so much when life's other priorities - like kids & their school-work, our own careers, our aging parents, etc. - kept my wife and I from having sex because I knew we would eventually get back on track. But as we approach 60 and as each week brings news of yet another friend passing away or having some sort of health crisis, I feel a greater sense of urgency. It's as though my marriage is a beautiful tropical vacation that is nearing it's end and going just a single day without making love to my wife seems as senseless as not bothering to step out on the hotel balcony to watch the sunset.

So often I read how aging leads to a drop in libido; but for me, it’s actually increasing! And knowing I'm running out of time is the reason...

Anyone else?

Indeed

66 here. I am just as horny and much more kinky. I just want to be grateful for the sex life that I have and hope it doesn't end until I do.

When I turned 48 my sex drive went into overtime but that I think was more biology than philosophy.

Interesting... Why do you think that is? Why did your libido tick upward at an age when many find it's ticking downward?

I was super horny in my 20s and 30s. Any time I had free time I was devouring porn, experimenting with new things (magazines to videos to cam shows). Going to sex stores - man, I remember my heart feeling like it was going to beat out of my chest. Then I kind of felt like fucking other women in my 40s and had some potentials but never did it. But I had fun expanding my horizons and flirting. Then I graduated to strippers in my early 50s, was ready to go to full on sex parties (but never did that). A few years later and I'm a little less horny now - I can go weeks without looking at porn, but I'm way more open with my wife about my sexual lust, which oddly is, I think, actually helping to increase my libido. For me it was "hey, fuck it - we are in our 50s, she looks hot, I need to take advantage of this time." I didn't want to masturbate alone and she's always cummed like crazy. But we just were in a very boring routine and I loved the idea of her knowing just how dirty and naughty I've been.

It's as though my marriage has been a magnificent tropical vacation that is two-thirds over and now going just a single day without making love to my wife seems as senseless not bothering to walk to the water's edge to watch the sunset during the last few days at a beautiful resort. It's knowing those are opportunities I'll regret not taking; opportunities I'll never get back.

Anyone else feel this way?

I’m pretty sure I could have written this same thread!
Yes exactly what you’ve said here
