Brian Austin Green is getting candid about one of the changes he has noticed as he gets older.
During the Saturday, August 29, episode of iHeartRadio’s “I Do, Part 2,” the 53-year-old actor answered a listener who wanted to know whether men experience a lower s-- drive as they age.
Green didn't hesitate when sharing his take on the subject.
“Sure, absolutely, of course,” he answered. “That is a chemical thing. That is testosterone. That is what men, as they age, start naturally losing.”
Brian Austin Green said his s-- drive has naturally declined as he's gotten older.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum went on to say the change is something men can't necessarily control.
“To me, honestly, absolutely. S-- drive lowers,” he continued. “There’s no way to avoid that. I didn’t ask for it.”
Green acknowledged that men can turn to supplements that may help them “go the opposite direction,” but he maintained that the changes that come with aging are ultimately biological.
His co-host, Bachelor Nation alum Bob Guiney, 55, also opened up about how priorities can shift over the years.
“When you’re 16, 17, 18, 25, whatever, it’s like, all you think about is s-- 24-7. How am I going to have it? Where am I going to find it?” Guiney, 55, said. “As you get older, you got so many other things going on in your life and so many other responsibilities and so many other things.”
Green Said His Relationship Has Evolved
Brian Austin Green attributed the change to testosterone and the biological effects of aging.
Green has been dating fiancée Sharna Burgess, 41, since late 2020, and the couple made their relationship Instagram official in January 2021.
The pair welcomed their son, Zane, in June 2022. They later took another big step when Green proposed to Burgess in September 2023.
His latest comments also come more than a month after Green shared a very different perspective on intimacy later in life.
"S-- has absolutely gotten better with age because I am way less concerned with how I feel in it and my own insecurities and I'm way more concerned about how she feels and that I'm doing things that she truly likes," Green said of Burgess during his July 16 podcast episode. "And I'm also not doing things she doesn't like."
"I spend way more time staring into Sharna's eyes now than I did when I was younger," he said. "You sort of did it until the action was done, and you're like, 'Cool, let's go make a grilled cheese sandwich or something now.'"

‘S-- Was Way More Sort of a Sport Thing’
Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess began dating in late 2020 and got engaged in September 2023.
Green also reflected on how his insecurities once influenced the way he approached relationships.
"S-- was much more about how the action was perceived" when he was younger, recalling that he would watch p--- and wanted to come off as "cool" as the adult actors did.
"You're trying to do all the things and you sort of, like, you complicate the whole situation," he said.
It is a ‘Connection Thing’
Brian Austin Green said intimacy has become more meaningful to him as he has grown older.
These days, however, Green said he sees things in a much simpler way.
"I am with my fiancée because I love being with my fiancée and I love making her feel amazing and vice versa," he shared. "So we try and do that as often as we can, which isn't as often as we want because we have kids."
For Green, his "connection has just changed a lot more" as he's gotten older.
"S-- was way more sort of a sport thing when I was younger," he said. "S-- now is a connection thing. It's one more thing that we can do to feel connected."
