The "key" to your point is the word "need". To live healthy and well, sex is not "needed" at all. And, the "need" for sex is not biological, or physiological, it is psychological. That is, the "need" for sex is a direct expression of a basic insecurity within a person's MIND. This insecurity comes from some deeply repressed "misperceptions" regarding oneself, held within ones MIND, and the "need" for sex is a way in which ones MIND "acts out", or vents the energy generated by these misperceptions in what you refer to as a "need" for sex.
It just occurs to me, after looking at some of the other answers to add this. True Love has nothing to do with sex, which is, in every case, a subtle way of making another "responsible" for the intensity of experiencing generated by sexual activity. This same intensity can be fully embraced and digested fully within oneself, which is the Spiritual way of experiencing Love. Physical activity is a lower level way of experiencing intimacy, a higher way is to experience this intense Love within oneself.
The more intense the negative self image repressed within ones MIND, the more sexual thoughts are fed to ones brain by ones MIND, and these thoughts are simply "venting".... but, our brains seek to convert this emotional-level energy into physical energy, and by doing so, projects "responsibility" for the "need" upon someone outsider oneself. This quickly becomes an attachment to the other as an object for release of the "need" generated within ones own MIND.
When the projecting upon this object begins to fail to serve the purpose of ones projection, one begins to seek out another to serve this purpose. This is the essential "reason" for sexual activity outside of marriage. The "need" for sex is only diminished when one becomes so old that ones MIND can no longer use ones body to vent what ones MIND needs to vent. The "need" is automatically reduced as one accepts the reality that one is no longer an "object" for others.
The best way to reduce or eliminate this "need" for sex is to undergo an extensive and effective course of psychotherapy, or to undergo an awakening to the Spirituality within oneself.

Shame on you! Why on earth would you think something like that? For the record, shame on your mother for not being clearer about it with you before now!
Sex is a beautiful and wonderful thing that married people share with each other forever!
People of every mature age have sex - up until the day they die! In fact, I'm hoping that's where I'll be when I go, and I hope I'm 110 years old when my time finally comes!

I really hope you're truly not so ignorant. Just because it isn't appealing to you that they want it doesn't make it go away. It's very disrespectful to your parents and to everyone 50+ years to just assume those wants and needs that exist in human beings just vanish into the mists. It doesn't work like that.
Here's some good information on the matter, if you're interested in learning more about the fact that growing old doesn't mean growing cold: http://www.seniormag.com/caregiverresources/articles/caregiverarticles/relationships/senior-sex.htm

The sex drive diminishes in some people but doesn't disappear.
