I don't think that there's any set age for when ones sex drives decreases (or increases). It all depends on the individual.

I'm turning 27 in 2 days and my sex drive is higher then it was when I was 20. Back then I could go months (I even went 2 years without any) and it didn't bother me. Now if I could I would do it multiple times a day. So I think it depends on the person. Some may slow down, some go higher, some back and forth.

Sex drive is a matter of chemical balance in the body. It is possible to increase sex drive by the foods you eat, the exercise you do, your overall happiness/stress level, and if you enjoy your work life. If something changed in the past 2-3 months then it can explain your sex drive. Unless you are absolutely obsessed with sex and don't find relief from these desires after, then I would suggest consulting a physician. However, if you feel content after sex with a partner, just enjoy it!

--for the record, I am going to school for an MD, hence my suggestion for a doctor's visit if your sex drive is taking over your normal day-to-day life.

Hahaha, my grandma used to be a prude... Until she hit menopause. Now she's always reading erotica and has a GREAT sex life. There's no 'normal,' it varies from person to person.

Of course the difference between men and women is a big one too!

I think it really depends on the person as well as lifestyle. Everyone's body reacts differently and I think it'd be the same with sex drive. I have read diet and stuff can effect it. Not sure, but I wish you the best

sex drive actually increases in women with age, their peak is in their 40s (I think...) while men peak in their early 20s, that's not to say you won't be horny your whole life though... I know I will...

Their peak is greater as they get older. The 40's is only the beginning.

Forgive me, but men peak well past their 20's as you say. It is way past that age!!!
