Is it normal to have less interest in sex as I become older?

As women age, sexual interest may normally diminish. This may not cause a problem in the relationship, if the woman's partner has a decreased libido as well. "If the woman's partner continues to have a strong sex drive, this may cause tension in the relationship — in this situation, communication between the partners is key. Discussing this with the gynecologist may offer some solutions," says Dr. Bustillo.
