In the last several decades, some studies have revealed that
seniors have sex well beyond their seventies. However, what these quantitative
studies didn’t cover is the kind of sex seniors have. They never show the share
of pleasure and joys that comes with older adult sex!
Picture a mature couple in their retirement. Both partners
are in their seventies and are worried about their sex life. The problem in
this scenario is; the wife wishes they could have more sex and the husband
believes this should be the case.
The wife now thinks that the husband doesn’t fancy her
anymore. She starts thinking that her hubby doesn’t find her attractive, hence
the reason he doesn’t want regular sex. However, the reality is, the husband
wishes to sleep with her more but is anguished by his low male libido.
Moreover, he doesn’t know the right soft erection treatment
that will help him maintain hard erection without suffering from a heart
attack. He is sorry that he is unable to fulfill his wife’s sexual desire and they
both suffer from sex induced stress.
Challenge Significant in Seniors
The above physical and psychological sex-related challenges
unfortunately are significant in many senior relationships. Besides, some
medicines, mostly drugs used for the treatment of depression, diabetes and
depression are known to reduce libido.
Further, testosterone declining levels in women and men also
lowers libido. For men, nerve damage and various other medical conditions make
it hard to maintain hard erection, and you end up with a soft penis.
For the senior ladies, low estrogen levels and dry vaginal
tissues are factors that lead to uncomfortable sexual activity.
Senior Sex Treatment
The fortunate bit being, a lot of issues affecting senior
sexuality are treatable. Studies however, have revealed that most seniors feel
ashamed to talk about sex with medical practitioners. It could be that most
older adults grew up knowing that talking about sex is a taboo.
If you need help, it’s important to get help. That said
however, engaging in intercourse keeps the circulation of blood in the genitals
constant. The more the blood circulates in your genitals the more pleasure you
experience when engaging in sex.
Regular sex helps couples face the ups and downs brought
about by long-term relationships bearable and fun.
Conclusion
Seeking medical attention will help keep the relationship
and sexual activity robust. A man suffering from low libido can be issued with
testosterone supplements to enhance the libido. Sex therapists will also
introduce new ways to enjoy sex without intercourse through various foreplay
forms.
