How Men Can Kickstart Libido and Improve Their Romance Game After 50

If you’re a man over 50, how many times a week should you engage in a bit of bedroom playtime? Once a week? Twice? Three times even? Maybe you’re thinking, “Per week? I’m on more of a monthly or birthdays/anniversary only plan!”

What if we told you the answer should be two to three times a week? What? No way! Who has the time or energy for that? We know you’re busy, but why don’t you have the energy? Even worse, why don’t you want it that often?

According to a BedBible survey that asked, “How often do you and your partner make love?” almost one-third of couples have sex several times a week. Another 28% said a couple of times per month, and a whopping 33% responded that they rarely or never have sex.

So how did you answer the question? If you’re a multiple times per week guy, good for you. Keep putting in the work, tiger! But what about the rest of us? How do we kickstart our libidos and improve our romance game? Well, you’re in the right place.

Put me in coach

Along with grey hair on the temples and getting a little thicker around the middle, we men tend to lose our competitive edge. Competition and testosterone drove us through our 20s, 30s, and into our 40s. In sports, we transition from the player to the coach. At work, we moved up from worker to management. Socially and at home, we lose our assertiveness and become more laid-back.

In truth, what happened is that we took ourselves out of the game and got comfortable watching from the sidelines. We compensate for our love of competing and the thrill of a challenge by watching Jeopardy from our sofa. Beep. Beep. What is Tashkent? How could you get that wrong, Susan? Everyone knows the capital of Uzbekistan!

This isn’t Junior High, and you don’t need to wait until the coach points in your direction. You’re the coach! Put down the nachos and get back in the game. The first thing you need to do is decide that you want to play again. Get out of your comfort zone. It’ll be worth it!

Get in some reps

Here’s the thing about inactivity – you forget how much you enjoyed doing whatever it is you quit. Remember complaining about the hassles of getting dressed and heading into the office? A global pandemic, and a year later, we bet you think differently about it now. After a week or two of Zoom meetings in your underwear from the waist down, you probably longed for the days of business casual and actual conference rooms.

It’s the same way with sex. It only takes a time or two for you to realize that you’ve been missing out on something you enjoy. Once that dopamine rush hits you, followed by the relaxing effects of oxytocin and serotonin, you’re hooked. The reward center of your brain reactivates with thoughts of “Let’s do that again!”

What if?

One of the obstacles many of us face is a lack of confidence in our abilities. “I mean, it’s been a while. What if I’m not any good? It’s not like I’m the Energizer bunny in bed anymore.” 

We have good news for you. First of all, your partner knows you and doesn’t need to be impressed by your skills. Speaking of skills, you probably have more than you think, and the fact that you’re concerned means you’ll be more attentive to your partner. In case you were wondering, attention to your partner is an essential part of the connection. It’s a win-win!

Maybe your confidence issue is not being able to rise to the occasion? The news on that front is even better, thanks to Revactin.

Revactin is a twice-daily super-supplement for your nether regions. Of course, you can’t do as many push-ups or run as fast as you did a decade ago. That natural aging process occurs all over your body, including “down there.”

The natural ingredients in Revactin help slow down the aging process and improve blood flow where and when you need it most. The science behind Revactin helps boost nitric oxide (blood flow), improve libido, and inject energy for optimal intimate health.

If you’re concerned about getting it up and keeping it up, Revactin is all the confidence you need.

What about me?

Not everyone has a partner; what about those of us in the singles world? Not surprisingly, the amount of rendezvous’ for single people is much less than those in relationships. You’re likely on the “whenever I can find it” schedule, and that’s okay. Studies report no link between sex frequency and well-being among singles. Removing the pressure of intimacy in a relationship has its benefits.

The advice here still applies to our single brethren but with more emphasis on getting out there. Unfortunately, the mating game is still a competition at any age. If it’s been a few years since your last foray into the wild, try digital dating apps and get your swipe on. Swipe right to get in some reps.
