Healthy sex drive In Our Fifties

It’s Q&A Day at 10almonds!

Have a question or a request? We love to hear from you!

In cases where we’ve already covered something, we might link to what we wrote before, but will always be happy to revisit any of our topics again in the future too—there’s always more to say!

As ever: if the question/request can be answered briefly, we’ll do it here in our Q&A Thursday edition. If not, we’ll make a main feature of it shortly afterwards!

So, no question/request too big or small

Q: What’s a healthy sex drive for someone in their 50s?

A: If you’re happy with it, it’s healthy! If you’re not, it’s not.

This means… If you’re not (happy) and thus it’s not (healthy), you have two main options:

1. Find a way to be happier without changing it (i.e., change your perspective)
2. Find a way to change your sex drive (presumably: “increase it”, but we don’t like to assume)

There are hormonal and pharmaceutical remedies that may help (whatever your sex), so do speak with your doctor/pharmacist.

Additionally, if a boost to sex drive is what’s wanted, then almost anything that is good for your heart will help.

We wrote about heart health yesterday:

That was specifically about dietary considerations, so you might also want to check out:
