Some gradual changes in sexuality with age may not have a very good effect on sexual relations. Men need more time to reach the peak, ejaculation, and also an erection may occur less often and more difficultly. Women are also prone to changes - they can decrease the elasticity of the vagina and feel dry. This period is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of sexual relations. Do not be scared, because with age it is absolutely normal. It is necessary to adapt to these changes and learn to accept your partner and yourself as you are.
The best thing you can do in this situation is to love each other, show trust and respect. Provide emotional support to your partner, calm each other in case you do not get something like before, in a sexual life. Do not forget that emotional stress and nervousness can further complicate sexual problems. And do not hide your feelings from a partner. Talk about the problems that have arisen, delicately and in a respectful way. Do not allow yourself and your partner to develop feelings of guilt.
Remember that having sex with penetration is just one of the types of techniques designed to get sexual pleasure. There are many other ways. Look for and discover other, new ways for you to receive satisfaction. Any age is suitable for getting rid of monotony and routine in a sexual life. You can try new techniques, new poses. An obligatory important principle in the intimate sphere is that both should be liked and any innovations must be introduced with mutual consent.
Among other things, kisses, words of love and affection at any age, especially in a mature age, will always form the basis of intimate relationships. Many people have such simple, seemingly things, as the words of love and tenderness uttered during sexual games, cause excitement and pleasure.
Speak freely and without fear of what you want at some point. When you show your partner their feelings, feelings and thoughts, it has a beneficial effect on sexual relations and helps to feel more pleasure. However, in everything you need to observe the golden mean, do not put too much emphasis on this and accompany the comments with each partner's move, leave room for improvisation.

Because of the fact that then it will be more difficult to return to the previous level of sexual activity, you should not stop intimate relationships for a long time. The good news is that in the organisms of older men and women, the hormone testosterone, which is responsible for sexual attraction, is still for many years.
Sexual attraction in old age is not reduced much. And this is the norm. But do not forget that the decrease in sexual activity can also be triggered by diseases of the nervous system, hormonal disorders, general weakness, various pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of hypertensive diseases, etc., and depression. It will be better for you if you consult a specialist of a sexologist or a family doctor.
The topic of sexuality among people of middle and old age has been developing rapidly in the last decade, this problem has been recognized as important and, therefore, some studies of sexual attraction among people who have crossed the barrier of 50 years have been carried out. Interrogated both men and women of this age. As a result of research, interesting points were revealed, both in the degree of sexual satisfaction received and the dependence of pleasure on certain techniques in people after 50.
For example, it turned out that those who managed to achieve a "very good" or "excellent" degree of communication with their life companions by the age of 50 were mostly happy couples.
However, couples with high financial income turned out to be no more happy with regard to sexual attraction than married couples who have low income.
Also during the research it became clear that most men and women 50 and older, confident that their marriage was really happy, enjoyed sex life with their couples. Factors such as the frequency of sex with a spouse or spouse, the degree of comfort in discussing a sexual topic, and how much the spouses are enjoying it were also important.
According to the results of the survey, it was found out that sexual life is an important aspect in marriage, as stated by the vast majority of happy and unhappy husbands and wives. At the same time, a large percentage of married women who did not consider their marriage happy ignored the fact that sexual manifestation is an important area of marital life. This turned out to be the most important aspect in the unhappy life of wives in marriage in almost all studies.
Despite the fact that matrimonial fidelity prevailed among the interviewed husbands and wives, yet 23% of husbands and 8% of wives admitted about one or more "meeting" outside the family after 50 years. Such data are relevant to those who did not destroy the family because of the novel on the side. Other statistics show that 80% of men and 60% of women during their married life change their life partner at least once. According to studies that have recently been conducted in England, half of the women interviewed have at least once had an adultery. And this despite the fact that English women are considered "cold".
As research shows, the frequency of sexual relations in old age, activity and sexual satisfaction may not have a very favorable effect on the health problem. However, both men and women continued their sexual relations and enjoyed sex, despite the fact that because of the illness, some obstacles seemed insurmountable. This was in the case when partners were active in sex and before the disease.
