Here are some strategies that might help:

* Stay Physically Active: Regular exercise helps improve blood flow, energy levels, and confidence—all of which can positively affect libido. Activities like strength training, yoga, and cardio can also reduce stress and boost mood.

* Manage Stress: High-stress levels, especially if you have a demanding job or personal responsibilities, can impact your libido. Techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or even taking time for hobbies can reduce stress and increase desire.

* Eat a Healthy Diet: Certain foods can help improve blood flow and hormone balance, such as leafy greens, whole grains, and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (like salmon). Avoid excessive sugar and processed foods, which can impact energy and mood.

* Consider Hormone Levels: As you age, changes in hormone levels, especially estrogen and testosterone, can impact libido. Speaking with a healthcare provider about hormone testing or discussing safe supplements or medications may be beneficial.

* Explore Emotional Intimacy: If you’re in a relationship, fostering emotional connection can help enhance your sex drive. Spending quality time together, being open about your desires, or even trying new activities outside the bedroom can create a deeper bond.

* Experiment with New Experiences: Trying something new in the bedroom can sometimes reignite excitement. This might mean exploring different forms of physical intimacy, lingerie, setting a romantic mood, or changing the environment where intimacy happens.

* Get Enough Sleep: A lack of sleep can disrupt hormone production, increase stress levels, and reduce energy, all of which can affect libido. Aim for 7-8 hours per night to feel more energized and open to intimacy.

* Limit Alcohol and Smoking: Both alcohol and smoking can negatively impact sexual arousal and performance. Reducing or avoiding them can help keep libido higher.

* Address Any Underlying Health Issues: Sometimes, issues like low libido stem from physical health conditions (e.g., thyroid imbalances, diabetes, cardiovascular issues). Regular check-ups can help ensure these are managed or ruled out.

* Self-Exploration: Solo exploration can help you discover what feels good as your body changes. It can also be a helpful way to relieve stress and stay connected to your own desires. If you do not orgasm regularly, masturbation is the place to experience it.

* Self image: Even with your body changing as you get older, you are still 100% woman and desirable. Work on your self confidence and body image.

Since you know it is a problem, change your attitude to permissive (of course his demands should be reasonable). Allow sex, even when you do not feel like it. It is one of the big debates in female sexuality - what comes first, arousal or desire. There is substantial evidence that for women, arousal comes first. That means that when you allow yourself to be stimulated, desire to have sex will follow. I don’t know what your experience with this is?

Of course there are a bunch of other things - not hating your partner, enough foreplay, feeling safe and loved, lube, lube, and more lube, him satisfying you, keeping it interesting. Sex should not be work, it should be fun
