Mines been dropping since I was about 35 and I’m now well in to my 40s and starting to struggle with enthusiasm. DH on the other hand is ready to go at the drop of a hat!

I do enjoy it once it gets going but I’d like to know that eventually, we will even out on the need for sex front.

Has your DHs sex drive slowed down as he got older?

Totally the same here. Menopause is rubbish! No advice but solidarity. Given that men can have children till so much older than women, I guess their sex drive slows down a lot later too!

No, sorry. DH has an about the same as ever.
