Just having a jokey conversation withy partner . I say " he should appreciate the fact that I'm still interested in loveaking at the age of 54 as far as I'm aware there are alot of women and men who go off it at our age . Just for transparency I have had a beer or two. 😂

Me, nearly 61, OH 54, we are still interested. It is different because we aren't making babies, but still fun and wonderfully binding.

About a week a month, am obsessed with the idea. Ovulation, poor last gasp from the eggs (43) . They won't get their day in the sun unfortunately as am single and I dont want any more kids, even with Idris E 😉. This is despite SSRIs which absolutely kill your libido.
I live in hope of finding someone to have some fun with. Do not want a relationahip right now, but someone who is kind, fun, and up for it would do.

43 and it’s one of my favourite things about being a grown up!

fifipop185 · 02/08/2019 20:17

Nearly 41 and still think DH who is 42 is the sexiest thing on earth. Would happily jump him daily if our teens would ever go to sleep early enough.

With who ? 😆

NameChangeNugget · 02/08/2019 20:22

Late 50’s, at it like the pigeons still. A lot of my friends aren’t so lucky since menopause though

ILoveJoeBrown · 02/08/2019 20:22

I'm 55 menopausal and can't take HRT so my sex drive is nil. Who says menopause is when you go sex mad? Liars.

marl · 02/08/2019 20:23

49 and just not bothered. Not with DP (who has been pretty disappointing in so many aspects of life lately) but actually I keep testing myself by checking when I see random men -'would I, could I?' to see if it's just DP or in fact I just don't fancy anyone. The answer is pretty much always 'absolutely not'. I think I was trying too hard to please men when I was younger and now I just can't be bothered with the whole messy experience.

Phoebesgift · 02/08/2019 20:24

Nope.

MangoSpice · 02/08/2019 20:28

Very much so at 43. Sadly DH doesn't seem that keen anymore Sad.

Debfronut · 02/08/2019 20:29

52 and not interested. I have so many other things I would rather do.

LastInTheQueue · 02/08/2019 20:31

42 and I absolutely love sex! I’d say the main my marriage broke down was due to a dead bedroom, because it’s more than “just sex”. It’s the intimacy, being physically and emotionally vulnerable with the person you love and who loves you the most. It’s never just sex.
Am now in a new relationship (9 months) and one of the many things I love about my partner is how much he loves being physical, and how desired he makes me feel. I hope we will still be having sex for a long time to yet!

Auldspinster · 02/08/2019 20:31

Forty four and still want and enjoy it.

IncrediblySadToo · 02/08/2019 20:33

Late 40’s and absolutely up for it

Ilovefluffysheep · 02/08/2019 20:35

Been with my husband coming up 3 years, prior to that was single for 15 and a half years. We generally average around 3 times a day. Both mad for it, the sex is amazing and like nothing I've experienced before. I'm 44, DH is 48.

I really hope I don't ever stop feeling like this!

missyB1 · 02/08/2019 20:39

51 menopausal and libido is definitely wilting. I can’t take HRT as I had breast cancer. We still have sex at least once a week but I could easily go without it for a couple of weeks!

BitchQueen90 · 02/08/2019 20:42

I'm only 28 and I'm not interested any more!

Probably because I'm long term single though and I've got used to life without it. I might feel different if I had a partner!

OldAndWornOut · 02/08/2019 20:43

Sometimes, for a minute or two, the thought crosses my mind, but then I remember I can't actually be bothered.

Herefortheduration · 02/08/2019 20:46

I'm 52 and still like sex. Dh is slightly younger but has had a back op so it takes longe, my days of a quickie seem to be over, I really miss a quickie but have no complaints about sex.

dustarr73 · 02/08/2019 20:47

Im 46,dp is 48 and we are still mad for it.Its just getting the energy and time alone enough to do it.Still have kids in the house so that puts a dampner on it.

AloneLonelyLoner · 02/08/2019 20:48

I'm 46 and love a good 8 hour shagathon. Quickies I can take or leave, but a day in the sack? Yes please.

Balula · 02/08/2019 20:50

I am, DH is (32,33) but I was unwell for a long time so it's been a long time and although I'm better (enough) neither of us knows how to approach anything to get things started Blush
We're off on holiday on Monday so I'm kind of hoping we find our way.

riotlady · 02/08/2019 20:52

26 and still into it, went right off it when I was pregnant though

SquatBetty · 02/08/2019 20:52

Another one who's very much still interested (mid 40s) but just not with DH Sad

PleaseGoogleIt · 02/08/2019 20:54

31 and I couldn't care less if I never had sex again tbh.. I'm not pregnant but have a 1 year old who doesn't sleep so it's the last thing on my mind.

Also I think the implant has completely messed me up hormone wise.
