Well I think there is a distinct difference between men and women, for instance as a woman goes through menopause for the most part looses her sexual desire although many have sexual relationships in there golden years but that is an exception than the rule, Men are different in this way, I can laugh about this but my parents are in there 70's my mother is 71 and dad is 78 they are not intimate anymore my dad due to some illness yet my mother as she puts it says My dad cannot do anything any more but he would like my mom at least to talk dirty to him. LOL she tells him he's just a crazy dirty Old man and says he needs to go call 1-900" yet they have been married forever. There is a major difference between man and women as they age.

Men usually still produce enough testostrone to have libido. The virility part is trickier. Lack of proper genital blood flow or lowered proglastadin(sic) output often preclude functionability but the desire is till there. Fortunately (or not maybe) medical science has made huge strides in this arena. BTW, many men have always functioned well in this area till quite old. My GG Grandfather had 3 children in his 70s and there was no Viagra then ..lol.

Women...it depends. I know my folks were quite active till my dad died at 65. I would agree that largely post-menopausal women have marked decreased sex drive.

I have always had a hunch that fertile women have a reproductive desire which is innate even if they deny it and that it fuels their libido. Studies have shown that women are unknowingly more sexually driven at ovulation and are also more likely to cheat then. Not only that but if they do cheat then, their cervix and uterine enzymes have been found to be more receptive to the "partner in adultery"'s sperm.

We have a lot to learn about women..lol
