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.

In my 50s I've started getting all lustful over prop forwards. It's really odd.

What freaks me out though is that they're so much younger than me so it feels a bit pervy 😳

Someone said swfarriers? I don’t even like horses but dear Lord. The comments are brilliant. Good girl indeed 💦

Be grateful it's a sports player! The first time this happened to me I was in my 30s, and it was a colleague. A perfectly normal looking man, but something about his voice just ended me. I would gladly have taken a stadium full of people to stand between us!

The farrier guy is hot and extremely good at his job too. I am very jealous of his clients. My old farrier looked like a grumpy potato. 🥔
