Isn t it normal to have sexual problems as you get older?
Most men and women do develop some form of sexual dysfunction as they age. Often, this may be a result of some medical issue such as a circulation, hormone or neurological problem. Also life style factors such as alcohol use, smoking, weight and cholesterol levels have been associated with sexual difficulties. Even depression and many medications have sexual side effects. Nevertheless, many people stay sexually active throughout their lives and have a strong sexual desire even into their 70s and 80s. Although it may be common to develop sexual problems as you age, you should expect to be sexually active throughout life. If not, treatments are available at any age.
