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.

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.

  I have no sex drive and never did and hope I never will.  I have Kallmann's syndrome.  Sex is just some repuslive thing I want nothing to do with.  As far as my partner?  I don't have any  of them either.  Old maid spinster here!

  I really don't feel any difference in my sex drive now at age 50 than I did 30 years ago at age 20.  Maybe it's because I never got married
