Does sex drive has something to do with age?
When I was in my early twenties, I had much stronger sex drive than when now when I am in my early thirties. Maybe I'm busier with my career and that took away a lot of my time. But really, physically I feel I do not need sex. I'm still single and attractive, many guys waiting on line to have a date with me. But I really don't have much sex drive. Someone told me when women reaches thirty or forty, there are stronger desire for sex, does that make sense?

I was a freak up until my 30's! Then for like 10 years, after divorce, I never had the urge to have sex or go out on a date. In my case, I was raising my three boys alone, so I was extremely busy. I guess the saying, "Outta sight, outta mind" was true with me. Now at 45, my boys are exiting middle/high schools. I finally met a man who rocks my world! I can relax and enjoy what passion brings to us. Maybe you're going through the same thing? All I know is I'm greatful for the time spent away from sex. I've changed and now know what I want. Good luck to you and hang in there.

I see you are more devoted to family. But I'm extremely busy for my career. Working a lot and sometimes I do feel need a mate just to have a drink and watch a movie, I've done on line dating but I don't find anyone I wish to go out exclusively so usually I would excise myself after movie. I don't like anyone to disturb my daily routine and make phone call to my businees place and no time for email or instant message either.

It's obviously an individual thing, sex drive, and can be influenced by outside factors having nothing to do with age but yes as women age they tend to get more sexual while guys on the other hand start strong and peter out! :)
