R2 Medical Team • April 23, 2025 • 3 min read

Many individuals find that when they reach a certain age, their sex drive begins to decrease. For some, they notice a change in their sex drive by age 50, and for others, that marker can be a decade earlier or later. If you’re wondering how to maintain a healthy sex drive as you age, there are several natural options available to choose from. Let’s explore them.

At-Home Steps

Part of improving your sexual health involves taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. To maintain a healthy sex drive as you age, you can start by following these simple, at-home steps.

Modify your diet. Reduce fried, processed food and eat more vegetables, proteins, and complex carbohydrates.
Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a couple of times each week.
Limit your alcohol consumption.
Manage stress effectively and decompress at the end of a long day.
Spend time with your partner and take part in activities together to strengthen the relationship you share.

Natural Treatment Options

While managing and optimizing your health is an excellent step to take, it might not be enough to fully restore your sex drive. In these situations, an individual may want to consider medical options. There are safe, natural alternatives you may want to explore before trying medications. The two most effective treatments for men and women in sexual decline are the P shot and the O shot.

O Shot for Women

The O shot, or Orgasm Shot, is a sexual health treatment for women who suffer from various forms of sexual dysfunction. It’s a platelet-rich plasma injection that is derived from the healthy cells in the patient’s own blood sample. This plasma is then injected into the vaginal area (after the area is numbed), where it stimulates cellular regeneration.

The O shot may correct the following issues:

Urinary incontinence
Pain during intercourse
Lack of desire
Vaginal dryness
Low arousal
Lack of orgasm

P Shot for Men

The Priapus shot, also known as the P shot, is a platelet-rich plasma treatment for men. It involves having a small blood sample drawn, processed through a centrifuge, and the platelets that separate from the blood are then injected into the patient’s penile region (after a numbing agent is applied) to stimulate cellular regeneration.

P shot results include:

Improved stamina
Increased size
Firmer, more long-lasting erections
Increased nerve sensitivity
Easier arousal

If you’re interested in restoring your sexual health, or maintaining your current sex drive as you age, speak with your medical provider about your options. You may find that a solution is readily available for you to utilize. You don’t have to accept a decrease in your libido or gratification as a regular part of aging. Lifestyle changes and therapy options can provide an immense benefit.
