To be worried about this increase in libido(?) when in sight of a sportsman?

I'm 54, long time happily married, 3 adult DC.

I've never had a high sex drive, never fancy sex though throughly enjoy it when I have it.

In the past year or so I've become completely aroused while watching a certain player compete in sport. Totally twanging loins, uncomfortably so.

It's both televised and in person, though a lot more obvious when it's real life presence. I think I feel it when I see him on television because it's become habitual or associated with remembered feelings.

I watch this sport regularly both locally and at international (set in England) whilst sitting next to DH and I feel like a teenager with a pash, but it's a more physical rather than lovestruck reaction.

Actually starting to think of stopping watching the sport, which will be hard to come up with a plausible reason to cover the truth.

AIBU to think this is concerning?

YABU - this is a weird, something to be concerned about.

YANBU, accept it's part of hormonal vagaries?

I'm sad.

What's weird about being turned on by an attractive human? The fact that you think it's weird is weird.

The reason I think it's weird is because I'm old and have never experienced this before.

Why not, I've been single for so long, lusting after hot men happens daily for me 😅

It's normal. Use your husband as an outlet.

Why are you sad? You found something which turns you on, use it! Have sex with your hubby while "under the influence" of this newfound trigger.

Use it as a springboard to lovely times with your dh!
