So, I was going to post this on the 'sex Board' but there is no option to post.
I was just curious, mostly if you're a man but experience from women who have any insight is also appreciated.
So, I know literature generally states that after 50 a man's sex drive starts to decrease but I'm wondering what peoples experiences are. If you're a man (or with a man) after 50, have you found desire in sex has declined? What about frequency?
The reason I ask is because I'm a 33 year old woman in relationship with a 51 year old man (been together 4 years and have a child). Generally have sex around 4 times a week, can be a bit more or less depending on illness/tiredness (have a 2 year old that doesn't always sleep well).
In the past he made a comment that he'd be happy with sex twice a week but we have always had sex more frequently. I'm someone who is very insecure. If we go more than 2 days without having sex I actually start to feel low and worry he doesn't want or love me. It's not even about me wanting or desiring sex. I don't actually need to enjoy it but I feel I need to do it, otherwise I worry he will want someone else. I want to make it clear he has never, ever made me feel that I have to have sex with him, so this issue comes from me not him.
I think I'm worrying that as he gets older, his desire may reduce and I may interpret this as lack of interest in me.
