Glenn Close thinks it's a myth that women lose their sexuality as they get older.

The 71-year-old actress - who has been married and divorced four times - has insisted that her sexuality has not been diminished by the passing of time.

The Hollywood legend shared: 'It's one of the great myths that you lose your sexuality as you get older,' she said

Well do you agree??

How the use of the word "sexuality" has changed over the past few years!
I was.thinking of LGB status rather than libido/desire. Oops.

I think it's a sexist myth that women do yes.
Some do of course but not all.
I should imagine that some women have a revival of sex drive once their children are grown up and independent.

Speaking for herself obviously. Post menopause I have no libido at all and feel almost gender-free, neutered, I suppose. Its not a problem, is a relief to me to have lost the sexual imperative which led me to make many poor decisions.

I think she means libido/sex drive

And meh

Those that talk about it ain't doing it

Men have problems physically with their prostates according to loads of articles I have read plus other ailments which can lead to impotence. Women do not so it stands to reason that it is easier for us than them as we age.

If the libido drops after menopause, HRT can help.at any age
I started a new relationship at 72, and it was helped by going back on HRT ,although the relationship is over now, due to his prostate cancer, Radiation and Hormone therapy to drop the testosterone
Amazing sex while it lasted
