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

[HighestCatcher]

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.

Enjoy yourself, you only live once and give DH some action. It’s nothing to be ashamed about, older people have sex and still enjoy it. Older men love to stare at young 18 years olds, why should they get all the fun.

Who is it? 😀

I find it impossible to comment without knowing who it is 😂

Oh yes to swfarriers too ... Good girl.

I couldn't possibly comment without knowing who it is 😉

Look, not very long ago, you’d have been expected to have a blue rinse, dentures and a funeral plan, and to have spent your life regarding sex as a tiresome chore like the washing up.

Ahha, I think the consensus is just enjoy, don't fret.

So I'll try to embrace the twang.

He's an England Rugby player, perhaps not traditionally swoonworthy, but he certainly makes me wibbly.

Yeah do tell...

Recently I saw a French rugby player that I was willing to risk it all for ❤️ I’m in my late 50s, so you are not alone 🤣

Charles Ollivon?

I watch this sport regularly

Did anyone else think "I bet you do"?

Immediately googling lol

He's even got a handsome face too.

Bless whoever took rugby to France, Polynesia etc.

(Was it the British army perhaps).

54 old? Give over. I’m 60 and far from past it.

Yes please! 😂

Can't recall being envious of grass before

Twanging loins is a classy variation on Fanny Gallops!

Haha as soon as I read the OP, I thought I bet it's a rugby player. They have physiques to die for!!

I'm in the US, and the only rugby player I know is Ilona Maher. While I adore her, it's in a completely platonic way.

I get you, though. I feel that way about American football players, especially Joe Burrow. And baseball players, especially Joey Votto. Maybe I just like guys named Joe? 😉

Joe and Joey for reference.

I'm a bit older than you OP, and not a rugby fan.

My boss is balding and quite short and stout, and normally I don't have any lustful thoughts about him at all UNTIL he rolls his sleeves up...

THEN all hell breaks loose in my pants and I have to leave the room. What's that all about?

I find the whole American football get up a big turn off, even if the players themselves may be very fit. Rugby/football shirt and shorts much better.

Ahha yes, I watch him in the local 🐅team, and as much international as possible.

Swoon.
