Sex for Seniors

By Sid Senior


Seniors do have sex. Sexual activity continues into later years. In fact, many seniors discover that senior sex is even better than expected. Having the children grown and gone, and without jobs consuming time and energy, you find you are able to relax more.

Go ahead and start trying some new things you have not done before. Maybe there are some new and different positions to explore. Think of a few things that will get both of you in the mood.

Your life of senior sex activity is going to be affected by the food you eat and the liquids you drink. I think you already know that fruits and vegetables are good for your health. I think you also already know that too many alcoholic beverages are bad for your health. Well, they have the same results for your sex life.

Your sex will be better if you are keeping in good shape by exercising your body. A fit body makes for happier times when it comes time for senior sex. Your fit body will give you the strength and long-lasting stamina you desire. Most seniors find that their sex life is better at certain times of day. Save yourself for those prime moments.

Your mental health is just as important for your sex life as your physical health. Much of that involves your attitude and your confidence. The ill effects of such things as stress, depression and anxiety can be very detrimental. It is time to stop worrying and start living.

Granted, your face and your body have aged somewhat and may not appear quite as appealing as before. Do you really think that is going to make much of a difference. Your partner is in the same aging boat. Just the same, that person is still your partner and still very interested in you.

One of the keys to good senior sex is to have good communication with the other person in the equation. That other person is going to be having the same doubts that you do. If you are able to share your feelings you are able to lessen the concerns shared by you both.

The medications that you are taking may lead to a reduction of your sexual cravings. They may diminish your sexual performance as well. If this happens to you, be sure to consult your doctor. Your doctor will know all about any bad side effects that can result from the medications that you are taking. Your doctor might be able to offer other forms of treatment. Also, the good doctor may be able simply to reduce the amount of your dosage.
