Usually it is believed that sex is the lot of young people 18-30 years old. At this age, men and women have sex regularly, completely satisfying their physiological needs. Those couples who are actively engaged in sex, look on the side more harmonious and happy. But how does the situation develop in a more mature age? In most cases, after about 50 years, the sexual life fades or ceases altogether. And very vain! So experts of the developed countries of the world consider.
A study was conducted, during which the sex life of 200 people aged 60 years was monitored. It was proved that those who had regular sexual relations had a more developed intellect and better memory than their sexually abandoned opponents. And people over 75 years were satisfied with their sex life more than people 60 years old. So scientists came to the conclusion that people in old age can and should have regular sexual relations. This contributes to a long memory and general improvement in health.
Contrary to stereotypes
Our people do not have sex in old age, not because they can not or do not want to. It's just that we do not accept it, it's shameful. Experts also argue that sexual desire and the ability to have sex, although gradually weaken, but have no clear boundaries. Depending on the state of human health and its temperament, sexual activity can be very different. Some married couples keep intimate relationships and in late calendar age, thanks to a good state of the body as a whole.
The widespread opinion that in old age a woman loses the ability to sexual satisfaction due to menopause, has no medical grounds. Of course, climacteric changes concern the sexual sphere. So, the lack of sexual female hormones leads to dryness of the vagina, which sometimes hampers sexual intercourse and causes painful sensations. However, this matter is easily fixable - there is a huge selection of creams and lubricants in the modern market. Another thing is that older people just feel embarrassed to visit a sex shop.
In men with age, the sexual desire weakens gradually, starting only with the sixth (sometimes even from the seventh) ten life years. This problem is strictly individual. It, unfortunately, is often complicated by various kinds of diseases of the genitourinary system. In this case the doctor becomes simply necessary. But many men are afraid to turn to specialists with these problems. Therefore, the care and support of a beloved woman will not only allow him to maintain his male dignity, but also prolong his male health.
Features of sex in old age
Sex in old age has two sides of the coin. It allows a person to feel younger, bringing a lot of adrenaline and positive emotions. However, sex also forces a considerable amount of energy to be consumed, which entails a great load for the heart, blood vessels and brain. The latter for people of advanced age, especially for men, can be extremely dangerous. The degree of excitation plays a significant role in this respect. If an elderly man starts a relationship with an unfamiliar attractive woman, he experiences great excitement. It is not surprising that such a connection sometimes ends tragically. However, in a situation where partners have become accustomed over many years to each other, this excitement does not happen. So the risk to health in such a situation is less at times.
Sex, although it is part of the life of people in old age, but still it gradually fades into the background. People at an age much deeper appreciate the affection and care of their partner, the mutual joy of communication and the warmth of being together. Such spiritual relations create the strongest connection and affection between elderly partners, and sex prolongs life for both of them!
