writes:If you've been in/are in a significant age gap relationship, have you ever worried about this: your significant other experiencing ED or lower sex drive as he gets older? I'm with a man who is 20 years older than me (I'm almost 21) and I sometimes wonder how our sex life will change as a result of those things. I always thought a man's libido starts going down when he reaches the 40s, but my man is still going strong. He's in the mood more often than me even! So my question is, have you ever worried about your SO's sex drive going down as well? How have you handled it? Thanks bunches!

My partner is in his early 60's and wears me out. This is his program: zero alcohol, zero smoking. Low cholesterol diet, eats mostly seafood diet (not 'see' food diet!) which is high in omega fats (good fats), beef and pork only occasionally, baked/ grilled chicken, and at least 3 different vegs and 2 fruits PER DAY. He walks 45 minutes every day, even in a blizzard (the loon). His waist is 34 inches. Because of years on this program, he is not on any medications for blood pressure or diabetes or anything. I know this sounds like a boring way to live but the benefits in later life are tremendous. Your man doesn't have to be this extreme but definitely keeping his waist line under 36 inches, quitting smoking, reducing cholesterol(those fats in meat that go hard at room temperature) and doing some exercise at least 3 times per week may guarantee a long time of lurve.

 Well, everyone is different. I'm now in my early 60s and still have plenty of want to, but one certain kind of high blood pressure medication (beta blocker) has begun to affect me in recent years. Viagra solves that issue just fine, but is expensive. I'm in the process of changing the affecting med. The point is that aging does not necessarily affect sexual interest or ability for all.

My man does eat healthy, doesn't smoke or drink, and exercises regularly. All determinants against ED I suppose.
Our intention is to stay together now and in the future, so I can't help but wonder and worry about this issue.

I know healthy eating and not too much alcohol makes a big difference for men with ED, plus there are some good medications around that boost testosterone levels and stuff. But most men don't have problems until they're a fair bit older than in their 40s. So I decided to just enjoy what we have now, complete with great sex, and deal with any problems as they come. You don't know what's around the corner in any relationship, so there is no point worrying about possible problems due to age gaps in the future!
