Men's sex drives?

Question

Just out of curiosity, do men's sex drives ever decrease? around what age do their needs begin to change?

Answer 1

Men's sexual drive NEVER decreases in my view, what happens is that as you grow older it gets "harder" to have sex, specially if you're sick but we're always WILLING BABY!!!!

Answer 2

I've read that a man's sex drive peaks at around 20yrs, then starts to decline...and a female's drive peaks in her 30s....But I totally disagree...I'm 39yrs old now, married for 15 yrs, and my drive is as strong (if not stronger) than when I was a teen..I still get rock hard erections very easily... The hardness has not changed (can still hang a towel on it ;-)......When I was a teen I always thought that my sex drive would decline rapidly because I was born with only one testicle and thought it would affect my sex drive and my penis size....Come to find out that, and was told, that my erections are stiffer than average and my size is a little above Avg.. I personally find that my wife's sex drive has declined considerably after giving birth x2...Its like she is only in the mood when the kids are at grandma's.... We only have sex about 4-5 times a month...Even at 39, I still masturbate 2-3 times a week..

Answer 3

actually it's a good question but not answered simply. I see,..
you've already got responses and while some are ok, to many are replies from idiots.
Your question seems to be asked seriously enough so I'll do my best to answer you the same.
My wife and I are now in our mid fifties. Just about ten years ago my wife and I, both working, sometimes completely different hours started, on occassion, as not to disturb each others rest, sleeping in seperate rooms. It went from occassion to habit.
Our sex lives, once very active had already slowed considerably with both our working and now went to almost non exsistant since we seperated our sleeping together.
Truthfully I thought about it often enough and had even the best intentions almost everyday but on the days were both on the same hours, by the time we got home, made dinner and cleaned up, all we wanted to do, even with the best intentions, was sit a while before doing anything. We were both tired and needed a while to catch our breath.
However the now late hour, unfortunetly turned into our doing nothing. That to, soon became not the occassion but the habit.
After a while we seemed to have just lost all interest in having sex at all.
Oh, I still thought about it all the time and certainly still admired and lusted for the sex of my wife and sexy, stockinged,thonged, naked breasted women in my dreams but It seemed to always be to much work to actually get to.
It went this way for a couple of years. sex went down to maybe once every two months and than, because of such infequency it was over before it begun. It was very disappointing and frustrating.
About four years ago we had a wedding to go to in Florida and thought to take advantage of our trip by adding a much needed vacation to our trip
We rented a car,did the wedding, drove to Miami and caught a luxorious Caribbean seven day cruise through the Islands.
Only half joking, and in an attempt to beat the rut we were buried in, we made each other a deal. I bring the Viagra and she shop for, and only dress, night and day, in the sexiest things she could find for the whole of our trip.
We srewed our brains out everyday. When we returned, off the ship, instead of returning home as originally planned we drove to the keys for four more days and than back to Miami for four more before reluctantly returning home. We never missed a night and some afternoons when she wore little more than shoe strings on the beach's of South Beach, or a full body massage from the practised hands of one of the young massues, we got in(at least I did) afternoons as well.
Although not that quite that often were still at it hot and heavy. It's better now than it ever was and I hope it continues this way.
until we die. I don't think if you make it your business to, it ever dies. It just changes.

Answer 4

The typical male sex drives begins to taper off between 18-20. It doesn't fall off a cliff or anything, but that's where it peaks. How inconvenient that women peak around 30!

Answer 5

There are a lot of fators that may affect the sex drives of men. Stress is one of them. A 20 year old guy may experience a decrease in his urges (though this may be temporary) when experiencing work or family related stress.

However, according to studies, men experience a general and natural decrease in their sexual libido's after the age of 50.

Answer 6

Yes, they do decrease. I learned that in both psychology and biology, but the drive will always be there. It decreases around their 30's and 40's, and incidentally, women's sex drive increase around their 30's and 40's.

Answer 7

You need to get on a level playing field here before you can even contemplate sex. You appear to have grown apart due to the absence of sex in the relationship. The fact that you have low self esteem is not going to help you one little bit as you will be thinking that you are to blame that there is no intimacy between you. And I would suggest that you get back that self esteem. Have you been to see a counsellor on your own? It might be a good idea. The male of the species find it very hard to open up and say what the problem really is. And often they subconsciously take their frustrations and feelings of inadequacies out on the one they love and resentment builds and then there is not common ground in which to share and solve personal problems. So it becomes one big vicious circle. One of you needs to break this circle. You say that your man has a high power job it could be that he is very stressed about his job but again will not say and is bottling it all up inside. And yes a mans job is often the most important thing in their life. As with out it they feel worthless and this is where understanding on your part comes in. Let him have his job. But tell him to leave it at work and that you need him to be there at home with you mentally and not worrying about work all the time. Try a romantic week-end away and get a little drunk the pair of you. This way you can let your own inhibitions fly out the window for once and not feel embrassed to show the sexy side of your nature. Go for it! I feel for you as you must feel as though you are ready to burst at the seams. Once that wedge is between you it is very hard to shift, but with a little tender loving care on both sides sex can be come part of your love making again. All the best and do not blame yourself. Get him by the balls and tell him whats what

Answer 8

Depends on the guy, but I thought men's sex drives never decrease! They are like the energizer bunnies when it comes to sex.

Answer 9

I think mines was in my mid teens and hasn't really stopped. I'm still young, a young adult as they call it. No, I'm not horny all the time and don't get turned on every time I see a girl, nor am I a perv. and I don't think about it every second but we (everyone included woman) can't stop thinking about it.

Answer 10

I peaked around 17 to 22. Now I am 28 and still feel like it once or twice a day but thats no where near as much as I used to want it.
