Some women believe that older women lose their interest in sex as they get older, particularly after 60. Is it true? If so, how can men make them be interested in sex again?

  • Michael Castleman says:

    It really depends on the woman and on her circumstances. Quite a few surveys show that, as they age, most women who have been sexually active with partners hope to remain so. The main impediments are partner loss (women generally outlive men) and illness (their own infirmities or their partner’s). Some women facing their older years alone or infirm withdraw from any expectation of partner sex, but often remain sexually active solo. Other women experience sexual awakenings late in life—when they fall in love after divorce or widowhood or years (possibly decades) spent alone or after realizing that they’re lesbian. Sexual interest at any age is an individual thing, and it remains so after 60.

    As for how men can restore lost sexual interest in older women, again, that depends on the couple and their situation. No one can “make” anyone interested in sex. That’s something that grows from a combination of mutual attraction, the physical ability to be sexual, and the man’s knowledge of what excites the woman sexually. For more on women’s sexuality, I suggest you read
    my book, which contains more than 100 chpaters on all aspects of sexuality, including the sexuality of older women.
