And then women over 50 wonder why men their own age date younger women…..People between ages 50 and 80 have sex twice a month on average, the survey found. While 37% reported not having sex anymore these days, 27% said they have sex at least once a month if not more.

One of two reasons: The gals are looking for a sugar daddy...or...younger women are the fountain of youth. I tend to believe the latter is the case but often suspect the first to be the truth.

My mom who is 89 says any woman who says she loses her desire after menopause is a liar. Like I said, it's a small survey.
What level of TRT does your wife take? I am curious because you rarely hear about women on it (unless they are trans).
My wife is in her mid 50’s and tolerates sex but rarely initiates it.
You mention that you both take PDE-5 inhibitors, I had to look that up to find out it’s just Viagra, Cialis, etc. how does that help a woman? They’ve been talking about “female viagra” forever and I thought that was because regular viagra doesn’t work on women. Or does it?
What is your wife's injection protocol? I am curious see whether they prescribed her testosterone.
Never found a woman in her 50s who wasn’t just as (if not more) interested in a man’s finances than a woman in her late 20s or 30s.
This is a good discussion, I’m glad to see I’m not alone. I think there is some difference also if a woman has had a hysterectomy with ovary removal vs. still having her ovaries. We are both in our mid 50s and my wife went through a hysterectomy early due to endometriosis. Without her ovaries, her desire for sex plummeted. We talked about it and she knows it. At the time I didn’t realize the impact this surgery would have on her overall. The whole past scare of women's HRT kept her from pursuing any of that. We are close to having sex once a month but it varies and it’s usually me initiating. Vaginal dryness has been an issue and so we just always use lube which seems to have helped. Since a woman’s testosterone comes from her ovaries and adrenal glands (I think), I have often wondered how she would do with a very small injection of testosterone once a week.
Shots make all the difference in the world! My wife was on cream for years and she would never go back to cream now! We are in our late 50's
I'm 75, been on TRT for about 8 years. Enjoying sex just about every other dayone way on another. Wife not as into it but usually accommodating for which I am grateful. As a nurse practitioner working in regenerative med and men's health I have learned that some practitioners won't treat half a couple. Can get troublesome.
Even when my wife and I were connecting,(me in my 40's, she in her 50's) it was once a week...maybe. We met when she was 47 and I was 42.
Last year, my urologist graciously offered to order labs for her, though she wasn't a patient. Low estrogen, low progesterone, low testosterone. He wanted to treat her if she became a patient. She didn't want to do it because he's an hour away. ??? I'm driving! He also wanted to treat her because of the possibility that it might slow down her dementia. We'll never know if any good would have come out of it. Now, her dementia and diabetes are both getting worse.

My urologist implants pellets in women.
Or a compounded cream applied in the vagina.

Your wife has given up on life, an hour away could save, prolong her life. Wow!
My dad is 88, has type 2 diabetes out of control on some days and low-T, refuses to listen about TRT because he's too trusting of doctors and now had poor blood flow in leg and had two toes amputated as a result.
My dad's reasoning about refusing TRT, his doctor would have mentioned it if he thought it was necessary and why listen to his son who isn't a doctor.
Yes. Sorry about your father. He's as stubborn as my wife. She also totally trusts her primary who must have graduated last in medical school. But she's always been that way; places doctors on pedestals and accepts whatever they say.
Topical estrogen cream. Turns the lady garden into a volcano. Thank me later. Very affordable on Amazon pharmacy and Cost Plus.
Agreed. TRT has done ZERO to restore my libido.
No question this has been the most frustrating part of TRT for me, probably because of the unrealistic expectations created by the Low T marketing machine.
There are many posts on this forum about low libido while on TRT, but its hard to tell how common the problem because those doing well on TRT are less likely to actively post here.
This was widely known decades ago. The longer the marriage, the less sex. Notable milestones were after kids, after menopause or a hysterectomy. Many older women said they were no longer interested in sex and felt their husbands should just accept it. Probably a reason why so many men in this situation would look for release elsewhere. Later, feminists began pushing the idea that the reason for women's lack of interest, wasn't due to biology, but due to men not doing enough to maintain her interest. If you google this scenario, you will find countless articles on this, along with ones telling women (that have lost interest) to do this, that or the other, to bring it back, along with saying that if a woman isn't interested, there must be something wrong with her. What they always fail to acknowledge is that a lot of women just lose interest and are fine with that. When Viagra became popular, there were countless statements from women complaining about it, as they didn't want their husbands "pestering" them for sex. So, if a man wants a healthy sex life, and perhaps uses testosterone, etc., to support this, what is he supposed to do if his mate wants nothing to do with it?
