Aging is a process that cannot be stopped. Obviously, we can
do many things to slow down this process, but eventually we will become old.
People in old age, often deal with problems related to sexuality. We are
talking about many different types of problems. This is not something that
should worry you because it is quite normal to experience such things, but this
also doesn’t mean that you should give up and accept these problems. It is
possible to prevent and solve these problems.
We are living in a world where the number of senior citizens
is growing. This is something that we can read about on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, in most cases these articles and discussions are mostly focused
on finances, retirement homes etc. Experts usually forget to mention everyday
issues which are equally important for the quality of life in senior citizens.
It is a well-known fact that the elderly are living beings with their own needs
and sexual desire is one of them.
Old age brings certain changes in the life of every person.
So, how can we cope with these changes? It is best to recognize and accept them
and start solving them as soon as possible. Now let’s see how we can improve sexual health and sexuality in old age.
First of all, it is important to understand that sexuality
can be improved in every person regardless of their age. There are some really
good terms for this activity when we reach old age. For instance, we no longer
have to go to work which means less stress. The life is more relaxed and we
have increased amount of energy. On top of that, those who have children will
probably witness how their children leave the home. When you have more time and
fewer distractions, it is the right time to unleash your passion and creativity
and try new things.
As mentioned before, people who have reached old age
experience many physical changes and this is why honest and open communication
is important. In some cases, talking strictly about sex is enough to become
more confident in bed.
Older men often deal with problems related to harder erection. In
this case, it is highly recommended to practice certain sex position that will
help you. For example, a position in which the woman is on top is the best
because in this case the stiffness of the penis can be lower. In any case, all
these physical handicaps should encourage you to explore new ways to enjoy sex
and experience new sexual pleasure. In situations like this, foreplay gets an
increased importance in our sex life, just like oral sex and/or masturbation.
Physical activity should not be neglected in old age. Of
course, the exercise should be adjusted to our personal physical capabilities.
We should not forget that each of us can make progress too. It is also a good
idea to adjust the diet – stay away from foods that contain too much fat and
enjoy in more veggies and fruits. Better sexual health depends on our healthy
spirit and healthy body. In other words, we should pay special attention to
protection of the body and mind.
