Sex drive might go down, but you can still enjoy sex. I was at my grandparents house on day and in their bath room was a bottle of viagra (not something I wanted to see) and the are in there 60's almost 70's.

I waited until I was married (when I was 27) - and wow was it worth it!\n\nBut unfortunately (in my opinion) too many people are engaging in sexual activity at a younger age - I'd be surprised (by hey I am old) if it was lower than 14.\n\nThis has been linked to the rise of sexual transmitted diseases, abortions and loss of fertility (due to chlamydia).  I also believe (from friends who work in counselling) that it has a knock-on effect on people's self-esteem.  But I'm sure people will rubbish me.\n\nThe real question isn't "is this the norm" but "what is the best".

Lasting 5 minutes when you are in your 40's doesn't seem to be a problem, but more of the natural way life goes.  I am 42 years old and I know what you mean here!

Yeah I think it's normal in the broadest sense of the word. It also depends on the age of the guy as someone else mentioned. Most young dudes could use it several times a day...but that ever so gradually changes as we age. Also people are different in their sexual desire like they are different in all other areas. There are even some people (a small majority) that are asexual...they have little or no interest in sex at all. As long as he still has a reasonable interest in regular sex...yeah he is probably normal...in my usual most humble opinion!

I'm 43 and i found that i lasted longer because i'm more in tune with my body. It helps to be with the right partner someone you have feelings for. I can't just have proper sex with people i don't really know anymore. What i found that effected my performance where: alcohol, smoking, guilt, worries, nervousness and depresion. I had to clear the reckage of my past and get in touch with myself. The calmer and peaseful my life is, the better my sex life is. I hope this helps you and good luck.

Who said your body has to stop being at it's best once you've reached 50 ?  To me, if you can "stand at attention" in the mornings and perhaps once in the evening, than you still have spunk to get any woman - no matter what age. MEN TEND TO GET LAZY-- WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE BODY GETS LAZY TOO.  Don't let your drive shaft go down the drain because your 50+ and have started to age.  AGE IS WISDOM + KNOWLEDGE.  But on the other hand, if your body (drive shaft) only looks down at the ground, then perhaps you might purchase a new rocking chair so the both of you can sit through it all. In any event, Get out there and have some fun.  Keep that blood in your body moving.  When it moves .. you need to move with it. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN, THEY'LL GET OLD TOO!

Age is only a small factor in a mans sex drive.  At 43 depending upon his job and if there are other factors in life stressing him out he may only have time for sex a couple of nights a week.  On the other hand if life is good and everything is going great he may feel like having sex every day.  At 43 though unless he is in really great shape his body is starting slow down a bit and while he enjoys sex just as much it probably takes more time to get him excited and he probably doesn't recover as fast after.\n\nNow after all that I have to say that your decision to marry him shouldn't be about sex unless there is a major difference in your sex drives.  I think there needs to be some compatibility in sex drives but it shouldn't be even in your top 5 of things to consider when deciding to marry someone.

I had brain surgery 3 years ago and obviously i couldn't have sex for a while, well after about a month, even though i was still pretty ill, i started to have really erotic dreams, even though sex was definitely not on the agenda for me, i woke my wife to "let her take the situation in hand". i'm pretty sure i was on the verge of wet dreams, i was 38.\nBasically youre not wierd, once you get a regular sex life going again, i'm sure they will stop. it is nothing to be ashamed of anyway, it's just your bodies way of letting you know that everythings still working.

When their men are too old to give them one!!!! Seriously, the ability to have an orgasm does not diminish with age,although some meds and disease may inmpair desire and neurological feeling.I have seen women in their 90s masterb*ate ( I am a nurse) soooooo they still have a fire burning!

I'm 52.. libido is variable but it helps to find a lovely concubine! It depends on who you are with who can help to light your fire. Perhaps the other answers do play a part.. not smoking or drinking too much.. In addition if you have too much weght lose it and to dress and behave younger may help.. If you have a good feeling about yourself it can help alot.

old people rarely get horny .. and if at all this happens, they are old enough to handle it ... I guess ...:)

If you feel that it is taking up too much of your time and energy getting them it could be a sign of anxiety and worry about other things going on in your life. It could be a coping mechanism to deal with a life that is full of uncertainties or it could even be a symptom of bipolar disorder (manic depression).\n\nIt is normal to be very horny at your age. It just depends on if it is bothering you or not. If you feel it is excessive, then it is.

It is not harmful. No way to avoid it other than being sexually active in some ways. The good news is that when you get a little older they stop or slow down.

no, it's perfectly normal.  in fact, it's very convenient because you can live alone and have sex constantly.  of course, you'll starve to death, but you won't care.
