| So,
What is senior sex? That kinda depends on each of us. If you are
in your twenties, then senior would be probably someone in their
forties or fifties. However if you are in your fifties and still
sexually active then to you senior sex would be most likely those in
their late sixties or seventies. Actually there is not a definite age
that makes one a senior as far a sex is concerned. We know of a
couple in their seventies that are still very sexually active.
To most of us senior sex would be someone the age of our parents.
We all have a hard time thinking about our mom and dad having sex.
This is a turn off for us. However that's how we all got here be
it happened in a bed on the beach, behind a tree or back seat of a 51
Ford. Getting older does not mean that you lose your desire for sex or
intimacy.
The
human sex drive is regulated by Testosterone be it male or female.
The make up of the testosterone is a bit different in male vs. female
but it's still testosterone that gives us the drive and desire. If you
feel that your sex drive is getting much lower as you age, you should
see your health professional and have it checked. One study of
men between 45 and 59 indicated that men that have 2 or more
satisfying orgasms a week can reduce their risk of dying by over 50%.
Another study by AARP the largest lobbying group for seniors over 60
showed that 85% of this age group has some type of intimate experience
at least once a week. So this indicates that sex is still
one of the most important parts of our life as we inter into the
autumn years of you lives.
After
menopause, most women find that their vaginas are less dryer and less
lubricated during sexual arousal than they were prior to menopause.
Less lubrication during vaginal intercourse can lead to a good deal of
unpleasantness or even downright pain. A water-based personal
lubricant, such as
Astroglide or
Wet, can go a long way in alleviating discomfort stemming from
vaginal dryness. A
lubricant
can be applied to either partner, but for the most lubrication, it can
be applied to both! Find out more about combating vaginal dryness from

Based Lubricants page. |
