@graybeard46 Please don't let each day be a downer?! My husband & I are still romantic, etc. He just stopped ADT after almost 5yrs, but I don't really expect return of his libido. I just feel bad he can't get that particular pleasure back, but there is still the mindful attraction to each other with the rest of the body even at almost 78 & 60yrs married. Remember, menopause can do a real number on the opposite sex?!

I am 83 and just finished hormone treatment 4 months ago. I see no improvement in libido and my testosterone is < 10. I can only hope for a better future and remember that there can be love without lust.

@jonesfit65 appreciate your comment, I’m a stubborn Italian who before I got prostate cancer last year I thought and acted like a 65 yr old and not 78 but I guess I’m fighting the inevitable that I can’t be 65 forever but I hope I can somehow accept the fact that the 43 yrs of making love to the love of my life is in the past. We hug and kiss each morning and night but it’s not the same , life isn’t always fair , we had a good run but will hope maybe I’ll wake up to a surprise 😂
