Testosterone patch to increase sex drive in postmenapausal women...
what? so they can keep up with the middle aged men taking viagra? whats with all this? don't people at some point give up on sex? and just enjoy being in a partnership?
This media hype to promote these drugs I feel is a big joke and designed to kill off older americans with these type of drugs.
Would you take them? I wouldn't............... lets face it, sex isn't the central aspect in most relationships of middle aged people... so why is the media trying to make it so?
comments?

So, sorry you don't like sex! I wish you well on finding a male/female to satisfy the hugging you need!

I agree with you Tatiana, that sex isn't the only thing in a relationship. As we age numerically and in a relationship we loose the desire for sex. Hopefully not all of it, but when that happens it's nice to know that there is help, at a steep price. It seems though that some people never grow up and sex is all they know and think about.
Money hungry pharmaceutical companies and lawyers are the reason for higher medical costs. Movies and TV shows that brainwash kids into thinking that sex is the best thing since sliced bread without teaching them the consequences of their actions. Kids today think that having children are free and it's the governments responsibility to support them. Something or somebody needs fixed.
I've done a lot of things in my life that were WAY better than sex. At any age! It's too bad some people haven't.

Ha that is funny and oh so true. Seems some people are so hung up on superficiality that there is nothing else for them certainly no depth of character.

Sorry, I'm just shy of 65 but I'm not giving up on sex. I don't think that makes me superficial, but it DOES mean that I'm physically and emotionally healthy enough to enjoy it as much as I ever did. As far as a testosterone patch to maintain my sex drive, if my partner was more interested than I was, I'd certainly consider it.
I'm happy to say that it's not necessary though...

Physical intimacy isn't the stuff relationship, but it is a component in the glue that keeps the stuff of the relationship together.

Wow... some interesting attitudes on here. I used to work with a woman who was always saying that about things... "This is better than sex!" I told her one day her husband must be doing it wrong.
I have never done ANYTHING that was "better" than sex. I don't know how sharing that ultimate intimacy with another human being can possibly be topped by anything. There are a lot of things I can do for a lady that may melt her heart or bring a tear to her eye, but there is only one thing I can do (though many ways to do it) that can rock her world.
I had this discussion recently with a friend of mine. I think sex is the defining aspect of a relationship. And no, that doesn't mean I'm saying it's the most important thing in the relationship, or that you can't have a relationship without sex. But I happen to feel I can have all the friends and roommates in the world, some whom I may even love enough to lay down my life for, but if we're not having sex, it's not a "partner" relationship. (And please, don't jump on me... if it started out that way, with a healthy sex life, and something happened that made sex infrequent or even impossible, that is an entirely different case than someone who just won't sleep with you for whatever reason.)
That same friend used to also say "Sex is like oxygen. It's only important when you're not getting enough."

Funny, my SO said the same thing last weekend...and I agree that it's a totally different thing if there's a physcal problem, but no matter what, there'd have to be intimacy of some kind to still fulfill my own definition of a 'partner' type relationship.
Again, using a patch or any other form of 'stimulant' would depend on my SO and how he felt about our sex life, or lack thereof. Somehow I doubt that it would be likely to kill us - that 'glad to be alive and overjoyed to share pleasure and intimacy with someone I care about, who cares about me too' feeling is a lot more likely to make me feel like hanging around this life than 'I'm too old for sex' would be.
