I've heard that a mans sex drive plummets during his thirties and fourties and he substitutes his sex drive in part by career advancement. I'm 29 and it seems like this is true because when I was 12 I had a boner 24/7.

So, will I not care about the naked people of the world any more when I turn 30?

you still think about the game all the time it's just that you don't always want to be up at bat, and sometimes having a beer and just watching from the stands seems just as good

I would agree. It is not that you lose your sex drive. It is that you lose your drive to spend all your free time and money in a bar in search of an orgasm. Maybe common sense just starts to kick in after 30 something.

I've seen increases in libido after getting exercise such as going for a mountain climb or a gym workout. The more physical fitness you have, the more libido you're likely to have. This probably has to do with increased testosterone levels and increased cardiovascular health as your libido and overall quality of life is dependent on these 2 things. Actually going out to bars, drinking, and sitting around all the time kills libido.(and health!) I'm in my 30's and getting exercise makes all the difference in all areas of your life. During periods I sat around too long, I lagged and performed lower in all areas of my life.

Losing libido certainly comes about with kids to care for and household chores to be done. After finishing chores just now - last of the washing hung, kids bathed and pajama'd, dinner all ate up and dishes washed, beds made and pillows laid, and a few more chore things as well, it's 10:20 pm. Can't be bothered doing anything else. In fact, anything else would be yet another chore!

I think the OP asked if a man loses his sex drive after 30. Not if a woman loses interest in her husband after marriage. Start your own thread.

After playing spacy games (while the missus takes in her TV drama) I thought I'd come back to this thread.

Haha. Actually, if you ain't willing to share the work in the house then you might re-think what it means to make a future together with the emphasis on 'together.'
Anyway, my daughter is going into hospital for an operation tomorrow so I'm making sure that all is done so my wife can get a rest before staying the next few nights in hospital.
Man, a guy working around the house is normal, absolutely normal. A thousand things to get done, all seeming like a pain in the arse. Just gotta do it. Should she do all of it? What should I do - watch her break her back?

Anyway, my daughter is going into hospital for an operation tomorrow - yeah, I hope she pulls through too - so, I'm making sure that all is done so my wife can get a rest before staying the next few nights in hospital.
But, a guy working around the house is normal, absolutely normal. You'll see. A thousand things to get done, all seeming like a pain in the arse. Just gotta do it.


Cheonmunka,
Hope all turns out well with your daughter.

Back to topic, Koreans have been living "together" for thousands of years and I guarantee you the men don't do sheet in the house.

You know I am just giving you a hard time.

I noticed a steady decline after about 34. I'm 37 now, and was married 9 months ago. I think it's part psychological, part being busy, and part me feeling like I shouldn't look at other women so sexually as before -- but yeah... huge drop after marriage. Not my wife's fault. It's just me. Oh, and I was out of shape. I've been working on that the past few weeks, though. Gaining weight can have a big effect on your sex drive.

Men in their 30's start losing wad-size too, if you catch my drift. Tis' a shame.

I've read that testosterone dips after marriage, regardless of age.
