Husband Seems Less Interested in Sex

Table of Contents

My husband and I are in our late fifties, and, while we’ve always had a good sex life, recently my husband seems less interested in sex—which I suppose is very natural at our age. But at the same time, he wants me to touch him more, to stimulate him more. What does this mean?

I would think his desire to be stimulated by more touch is a sign of his continuing interest in you. Your husband still wants the sexual relations you’ve both enjoyed during your marriage.

Dr. Harold Lief, director of the Marriage Council of Philadelphia, has written that with age a man is less easily aroused sexually through the cortex, but he needs greater stimulation locally. In other words, the body contacts your husband asks for now is the physical trigger that will release his love for you.
