SEX AFTER AGE SIXTY

SEX AFTER AGE 60 Problem Solution & Tips

Your man complaints you are not interested in sex anymore. What can you do? Or your woman says, “Don’t you find me attractive anymore?” what can you do?

Physical changes in men’s response parallel those seen in postmenopausal woman. Most men produce well above the minimum amount of testosterone needed to maintain interest in sex. Men with good blood circulation to the penis can attain erections adequate for intercourse until the end of life. Ageing increases the length of time after ejaculation and before restimulation.

For both sexes:

• Use it or lose it: prolonged abstinence from sex can cause impotence.
• Eat healthily – follow a balanced, low – fat diet and exercise regularly.
• Don’t’ smoke.
• Control your weight.
• Limit alcohol.
• Protect against AIDS and other sexually transmitted disease. The best protection is a long – standing monogamous relationship. If you don’t have one, use a condom.
• After age 60 –Intercourse may require planning.

PREMATURE EJACULATION

PREMATURE EJACULATION CARE

 

You were so sexually aroused you couldn’t wait and then you found yourself apologizing to your partner. You are frustrated and embarrassed and you find yourself dwelling on the thought, “what if it happens again?”

Premature ejaculation occurs when semen is released before penetrating the vagina or immediately afterwards.

• The squeeze technique will aid in delaying ejaculation.
• Distract yourself mentally for a few months, by thinking of other things, if possible.
• Remove yourself from direct bodily contact with your partner, take some deep breaths and begin sexual play all over again.
• Abstain from intercourse for two weeks. Prolong foreplay, stopping just before ejaculation. Continue arousal up to point of ejaculation with an agreement that there will be no intercourse until the third point of ejaculation.

FRIGIDITY Solution

You have little or no interest in sex. You are too tired, too busy, too stressed out, too worried. The “not tonight dear” might just be coming from either or both of the sexual partners.

• Make an appointment to spend 15 minutes together each day.
• Make a date. Take a walk together in the evening, find some activity you both enjoy, and share it.
• Schedule a weekend away together.
• Go to bed at the same time.
• Relax together, take a shower together or give each other massage.
• Try hugging and kissing without the expectation of sex being the result.
• Forget alcohol and drugs; they dampen sexual abilities.
