Is it normal to become less and less interested in sex the older you get?

I'm 23

I remember when I was in my teens, the idea of having sex with a woman was essentially the best possible thing I could ever imagine. I still get horny now, and having sex is still great and desired. However, it seems as if as time has gone on it has fallen further away from the "best possible thing in the world" category in my mind.

I mean don't get me wrong when I'm feeling hot and heavy and I'm lucky enough to have a woman i can have sex with around then I'm feeling pretty damn good. but the feeling comes around less often these days.

Maybe since I've become much more familiar with the female anatomy over the last 6 or so years through first hand experience ( ill be it many times just lucky-lol) that it just doesn't quite give me the "kicks" it used to, at least not at the level it once was and not as often.

I remember when i was a bit younger, id probably do just about anything (within reason and when i had the confidence) to get laid, and boy would it make my day, hell it would make my week or even month! lmao. and now, I can honestly say there are times when I wouldn't do a damn thing for it or maybe even turn it down. Having it would still brighten my day but it feels shorter lived.

Is this just part of growing up? does sex lose a little of it's pizzazz for everyone once they've done it enough or get old enough?

    Start working out and itll come back. When I start getting lazy and laying on the couch alot I get like that but when I start doing pushups and jogging I feel like donkey punching women.

    Normal, but not so much at your age.

    I'm over 40 and just as motivated as I was at 20, for the most part.

    While it might gradually diminish throughout adulthood, I think the libido takes a dive after 60 or so.

    Teen years are the horniest.
    In your 20's though you should still have a decent sex drive.

    Low testosterone is a legitimate answer to the question.

      Ellena,
      I like your answer I wish I lived next door to you we would become good neighbors. I'm a 74 year old male and I always think about having sex. What's not to like

    Are you taking any medication? That can kill the sex drive. I don't think your age has anything to do with it. You're probably just going through a phase.

    It is normal, but you are still very young.

  • Instead of having sex, try xes, it’s sex backwards!

    Or abstain from sex until your twenty six and then see how you feel.

    23 and you think you are getting older? At 50 you are just middle age, the average life expectancy is 90 in many places. I know 50 and 60 year olds who are very active. Maybe you have some kind of defect or something, not different people have different sex drives, maybe you are just one with a low drive which is nothing bad and common, but don't use stupid suggestions relating it to age, even 70 year olds can be highly active. Grow up kid!

    • Hey mark92, wanna thank you for you for sharing, however I feel that you have misunderstood a key thing. Getting older and being old are two different things. Im simply asking if as you grow older IIN to have these feelings. we are growing older no matter the age. Obviously old people are very active, i have no idea where you got any idea as to me saying that 23 is old. there is no "stupid suggestion" i simply provided you all with my age and how i feel. so I'm a bit perplexed at why you are coming at me this way, i genuinely feel that you must have misunderstood something..

        It is possible that you have a low testosterone level. I used to suffer from low T and it caused a considerable drop in care for sexual activity. After they checked it I was below the average and when I was stabilized to the average I’m back to rabbit levels.

        Ok, ok, its just that I see some irrational stuffs here at times, its has become hard for me to differentiate. I did misjudge you and I do apologies for that. And regarding that maybe you did "it" too much and spent a lot of time on it, so you don't feel the urges that often at the moment. Take some time of and you might feel it again. Cheers bro.

    • maybe. idk kinda feel like how i would imagine a drug addict feels when he does too much for too long, you still get high and feel great but it's just not quite as high and doesn't last quite as long. The thing is I dont have sex a ton or anything, i mean it comes in waves but not all at the time. maybe just low T or somethin' idk. still gives me kicks , just not like it used to.
