    That part came from a psychiatrist. It isn’t every guy for sure. But the % still interested drops a lot somewhere around 60 or something. And the average age expectancy for men in the us is 76.5. So the ones in their 80’s and still alive have a higher chance of still being interested mainly because the others died off. My personal opinion is that longevity and libido are commonly correlated. But I have no real data for that.

      It doesn’t have to be libido alone, but someone aged 80+ might have lived large chunks of his live in a relationship, and is quite likely to be a widower. It makes sense that they are lonely and want what they had for a large part of their life.

        Totally agree it is complicated. I just didn’t know a good way to concisely say it, so I went with Libido. I just hink if you look, you see people like rudy G. Somehow still alive. And still demanding blowjobs from his staff. While the doc says kost men past a certain age just don’t care anymore. And it seems to me the old ones who are still somehwat mentally aware, line up with the ones still commiting sex crimes. Probably a testosterone thing of some sort.
