50s and Sex Drive: Brian Austin Green's Candid Talk
1 Sep
Summary
- Men's sex drive naturally lowers with age due to declining testosterone.
- Other life factors like responsibilities can also impact libido.
- Research on male sex drive has varying conclusions on age's impact.

Brian Austin Green, known for his role in Beverly Hills, 90210, recently shared his perspective on male aging and its effects on sex drive during an episode of the I Do, Pt. 2 podcast. He confirmed that men often experience a decrease in libido as they approach and enter their 50s, attributing this largely to the natural decline in testosterone levels.
Green elaborated that while supplements can counteract this, the reduction in sex drive is an inevitable aspect of aging for many men. His co-host, Bob Guiney, a Bachelor franchise alum, agreed, noting that youth is often consumed with thoughts of sex, whereas older age brings a multitude of other life priorities and responsibilities that can shift focus.
While Green's and Guiney's observations align with some research indicating a correlation between advancing age and declining sexual desire, more recent studies introduce complexity. These newer findings suggest that elements such as sexual orientation, relationship status, and even personal perceptions of masculinity can be more influential than age alone in determining male sex drive. Green, who has five children with his fiancée Sharna Burgess, has personal experience with how family life can be a significant factor.
