I agree w/SugarSprinkles that women's desire can be greatly influenced by their hormones. Menopause can wreak havoc on our bodies, as can bearing children. I think the amount of stress and the nature of the relationship between 2 people can be even bigger factors. If a woman is trying to handle a full-time job, raising kids, maintaining a household, and seeing to her man's nonsexual needs, she may have next to no energy left for sexual ones of his or her own.

For me personally, my sex drive is as strong or stronger than it ever was. Orgasms take longer to achieve, which can be very frustrating at times, but they are better and more varied than ever before. And I still find, as I always have, that my sex drive is usually higher than my partner's, when I'm lucky enough to have a partner, that is. I'm 55--closer to 56, in fact.
