Have you or your partner experienced changes in your libido? If so, you're not alone. Read the related AARP The Magazine article " Whither Desire" and share your story here. When did you notice the change? How have you dealt with it? If you've got a secret for rekindling desire at 50+, we'd like to hear about it.

I came across an article this morning that talks about foods you can use to increase your sex drive or "get you in the mood." Here's a snippet from the article:

"The other contestant in this class is ginger, which wakes up a person's mouth. It is a known blood thinner that helps flow get to the parts of the body that need it the most for sexual arousal. It's right up there with chiles: B+."

The article goes on to explain a list of other foods that can be used as sexual aids: http://www.aarp.org/family/love/the_naked_truth/articles/grading_aphrodisiacs.html

Thanks for the relpy. This wonderful relationship has grown leaps and bounds since my last post. This is a wonderful, giving, loving, funny man. I have never known a love like this. We have an incredible connection. Totally comfortable and content with each other. I think you are right, life experiences teach us so much. When you get a second chance like this you avoid all the mistakes of the past and put forth every effort to make this time as perfect as possible. The thought of life getting shorter and not wasting any time certainly enters into it as well. I am happy, thank you!

Sometimes members of the  MeetingLand ask me the same question in their messages. I always say that it's wonderful when two hearts meet each other for love and sex. And the age is doesn't matter. Moreover, grown-ups have much more life wisdom to avoid mistakes, overcome obstacles, save and develop relationship. Be happy!

We are attacking this wrong; the world needs a new erectile drug that works by lowering the female’s expectations.

My sex life has greatly improved by drinking 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water right after every meal.It is awesome.You can also take a small dosage of viagra once in awhile .I have found a site that sell these sex aids . .Drink lots of water and eat fruits high in acidic content works as good as apple cder vinegar ,also prevents heartburn.

I have an interesting story. I would love to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience. I have recently reconnected with a collage sweetheart. We are both 57 years old. He is not particularly healthy. We communicated by phone and email for about 4 months. The emails and phone calls became more and more involved and we realized we were falling in love again. Our first love affair only lasted about 6 months and was only mildly intimate, although we were very good friends and enjoyed each others company very much. We went on to have our separate lives, both married for 30 years. Marriages over of different reasons. Now 38 years later we find ourselves falling in deep love. We live 1000 miles apart. We finally got together for 5 days last month. We immediately connected. No warming up period. Just an immediate love. A love we both admit we have never felt before with our spouses. We were both taken aback by it. But what really threw us for a loop was how we sexually connected. I never cared that much sex, but with him, I can't get enough of him. While we were together we made love several times a day. We had to be somewhat inventive because of his health, but we enjoyed each other immensely. We are now apart again and can't wait to be together. What we are both wondering is if anyone else out there has ever experienced that much physical love at our age on a daily basis. Is that a normal experience? We just couldn't seem to get enough of each other.
