Everybody is different, of course, but I have a friend who just turned 75, and it’s still going strong for her. It’s kind of getting tedious, to be honest, because we can barely settle down at a restaurant before she starts hitting on everything that moves. I feel like an exasperated mother of a flirty teenager around her.
This is not the same 75-year-old friend who’s gotten romantic with a 26-year-old handyman. These are different people. Sexuality isn’t tied to fertility, as I said before. One of these women has 5 grown children. The other never had any.
Yes, I love hanging out with friends in their seventies. They are fun.
So, I guess, once it switches on, it doesn’t need to go off.
I’ve known a number of women who said their sex drive completely disappeared at menopause. But I’ve also known women like the ones you describe. An interesting variation.
