Hi ladies, this question probably doesent apply to most if not all the women on this site,but i figure this site may be a place to ask it. do you know of any older,over 65 who has been and still is very sexually active. Then the second part do u know any women of the same age catagory who no longer sexually active and the reason why it no longer appeals too them. I realize hormones play a big part but im sure woman capable of sex and having enough hormones in balance are still not interested in sex with their partners or boyfriends. thank you in advance for your insight.

I'm guessing that in 30 years I'll be a saggy, wrinkly mess like my mom. Do you suppose self-consciousness of physical appearance might have something to do with it?

Based on the below info, I'd say a big yes!
A recent analysis of patients on athenahealth's network found that patients over age 60 account for the biggest increase of in-office treatments for sexually transmitted infections. The report found that in adults over age 60 diagnosis rates for herpes simplex, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, trichomoniasis and chlamydia rose 23 percent between 2014 and 2017. (HIV was not included in this analysis.) That's compared to an 11 percent increase among the entire population over age 13.

As Kee said, just based on the data for women over 60 incidentally diagnosed with or seeking treatment for STI's, I'm going to go with a big "OH HELL YES" with regards to your question.
That sample accounts only for women over 60 who a) sought out gynecological care through a specific set of providers and b) were subsequently diagnosed with and treated for one or more STI. This is important. There are no specific numbers noted in Kee's post, but since we know (thanks, CDC!) at least some women over 60 are sexually active in some form of a relationship, and common sense would tell you that only a small number of those women would seek out gynecological care (due to the unnecessarily high hysterectomy rates in the U.S) at all, the rest thinking that no uterus/ovaries/possibly cervix = no need for continuing gynecological care, then common sense would also tell you that there's a huge fraction of sexually active women over 60 out there.
My guess for the reason that this is not publicly discussed is both societal and generational. It used to be, you went through menopause (aka "The Change") and boom! you magically lost any and all sex drive--or at least, society told you that you were no longer supposed to have a sex drive. Women who could no longer produce offspring were no longer of any real use aside from housekeeping, cooking, volunteering at the local hospital's Women's Service League, etc. Of course, women over 60 have probably always been sexually active, but if you don't ask the question, you don't have the answer. Anyway, while societal mores have changed and more older women are more open--at least with their physicians--about their active sexual lives, the ingrained impetus to keep quiet about sexual activity remains.
