At what age do women lose their sexuality

The characteristics of sexual desire are different in men and women. The most obvious difference is that women's sexual desire gradually increases with age. The saying "women are like wolves at thirty and like tigers at forty" means this. However, women may also experience a decrease in sexual desire. If there is a sudden decrease in sexual desire, they may suspect that it is due to reaching a certain age, but the factors in this regard are very complicated. Let’s first look at the age at which women’s sexuality declines.

Many women experience a significant decrease in sexual desire and less vaginal secretions after entering middle age, and especially after menopause, they feel that their energy is not as good as before. At the same time, the vagina atrophies and becomes stiff, narrow and dry, making sexual life very difficult. In fact, studies have shown that if postmenopausal women maintain a regular and healthy sex life, it is of great significance to their physical health, mental happiness, family harmony and prevention of urogenital tract atrophy. Therefore, women will not lose their sexual function no matter how old they are, and even postmenopausal women are not unsuitable for having sex. Some foreign reports point out that more than half of European women over the age of 70 are still interested in sex.

What are the reasons for women's decreased sexual desire?

① Age: Men’s sexual desire reaches its peak after entering puberty, begins to decline at the age of 30 to 40, and significantly weakens at the age of 50, but sexual function can be maintained until 70 to 80 years old. It’s just that the sexual desire decreases, not disappears. Women's sexual desire reaches its peak between the ages of 30 and 40, gradually decreases after menopause, and decreases significantly after the age of 60.

② Influence of biological clock: The reason why a person feels sleepy at night and awake in the early morning is entirely due to the biological clock in the body. When a person is at the peak of his biological clock, his sexual desire is stronger; if he is at the low point of his biological clock, his sexual desire will decrease.

③Health status: Only with a healthy body and abundant energy can one have a strong sexual desire; if one is in poor health, it is difficult to arouse sexual desire, and many diseases can affect sexual desire.

④ Living conditions: Difficult living conditions will affect the generation and satisfaction of sexual desire, and may also cause sexual disharmony such as impotence, premature ejaculation and indifference.

⑤ Smoking and drinking habits: Long-term smoking and drinking habits will not only affect sexual function and reduce libido, but the harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol will also affect the eugenics of the next generation through three ways: first, harmful substances directly affect the quality and quantity of sperm and egg cells; second, harmful substances dissolve in semen and have a damaging effect on fertilized eggs and early embryos; third, harmful substances directly affect the secretion of androgen, reduce libido, and then affect the quality of fertilized eggs.

⑥Seasonal factors: Generally speaking, spring is the season for courtship; warm bedding in winter makes it easy for couples to lie close to each other, which easily arouses sexual desire; the temperature in autumn is moderate, and the desire for courtship is also stronger; only in midsummer, the heat is unbearable and sweat is pouring down, and sexual desire often weakens.

⑦ Sensory stimulation: Continuous stimulation of sensory organs such as vision, smell, hearing, and skin touch can increase sexual desire.
