Sex life is an important issue and a very normal need of every person. However, over time sexual needs and issues affecting sex life will change in both men and women. So how will sex drive change over the years?
1. What is sexual need?
It may seem like a simple question, but scientists are still searching for an answer to exactly what constitutes sexual desire or how to measure sexual desire in a man or a woman. While hormones play an important role in sex drive, it doesn't always dictate the clear difference they make. But other factors - psychological, social and physical - also come together to create sexual desire.2. Sexual needs in the 20s
2.1 Men in their 20s Testosterone is a male hormone essential for sexual arousal. Levels of this hormone are usually high in your 20s and so is sex drive. But at that point, you will often have concerns about sex-related problems because of your lack of experience. That may be part of the reason why 8% of men, and possibly more in their 20s, suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). This condition can be caused by a health or mental health problem, or even as a sign that you are at risk for heart disease.

2.2 Women in their 20s are more fertile from their late teens to late 20s than in later years. This can make you more picky about when you have sex, although it's unclear exactly why. In fact, scientists think a woman's sex drive may increase as fertility begins to decline in her late 20s.
3. Sexual needs in the period 30-40
3.1 Men Many men continue to have a strong sex drive during these years, although testosterone begins to decline around age 35. It usually decreases by about 1% per year, and the decline can be faster for some men. This may have some effect on sexual desire. Plus, for many people, stress at work, family, and other issues can affect how much they care about sex.
3.1 Female This is the time when you are likely to have the strongest level of sex drive. One study found that women aged 27 to 45 had more frequent and intense sexual fantasies than younger or older women. They were also more sexually active and more likely to engage in sexual behavior quickly in relationships.
4. Women in the period of pregnancy and lactation
At any age, pregnancy and childbirth have a big effect on your sex life, but it's not the same for everyone. The body and hormones change throughout pregnancy. That can increase libido, especially in the second month of pregnancy and also when pregnancy will decrease sex drive in others. You may also have concerns about the safety of having sex while you're pregnant, such as how many times a week sex will affect your unborn baby. Breastfeeding, nursing, and other chores can also affect your time, energy, and interest in sex.

5. Sexual needs at the age of 50 years and older
5.1 Men If you are in good physical and mental health, there is no reason to stop you from continuing to enjoy your sex life. Diagnosing erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes more common as you get older. Your erections may occur less frequently and may be less firm. But it is not a matter of age but of health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity and the drugs that treat them.
5.2 Women Around the age of 50, fewer worries about pregnancy can make some women more interested in sex. But as you approach menopause, estrogen levels drop, which can decrease sex drive and lead to vaginal dryness. Hot flashes, anxiety, weight gain, and trouble sleeping can also be signs of menopause. You can ask your doctor about medications, hormones, lubricants, and other treatments for this period.
6. Sex drive in men is not just a matter of Testosterone
You need some testosterone to get stimulated, but it's not clear how much is needed. It can vary from person to person. And although it declines with age, scientists don't know exactly how this affects sex drive. Some men with low testosterone show a normal sex drive, while others with high levels still have sexual problems. Other medical issues, physical fitness and mental health can be important factors affecting sex drive.
7. Solutions to improve the quality of sex life
Talk to your doctor about any issues related to sex drive according to your age, as they could be a sign of a medical condition. If you have the problem, your doctor may prescribe hormones to increase overall sex drive (estrogen for women, testosterone for men) or drugs to increase sexual arousal: sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) for men and bralonanotide (Vyleesi) andflibanserin (Addyi) for women.
Be open and honest in communicating your needs and desires with your partner on sexual matters. This can help you and your partner be more interested in your sex life and strengthen your relationship. And be more honest about your physical and emotional satisfaction.
