Seniors

Yes, senior sex does exist. Thanks to vitamins and Viagra sexual activity now continues into later and later years. Now that’s good news. Actually, senior sex has been around for a long time. It just wasn’t talked about so openly.

There's a lot of interest in senior sex. I know because this page gets more traffic than any other page of this website. The numbers don’t lie.

Here’s more good news for you. Many people find senior sex to be better than they had expected. With the kids grown up and gone, and no jobs taking your time and energies, you can relax more. You wrinkly Romeos and Juliets can enjoy yourselves at your own pace.

Also, remember that experience counts. Think about how much more you know than you used to. Physical ability is not the only ingredient for good senior sex. Right?

Plus, the expectations are lower. Each success can be appreciated. This time does not have to be the best ever.

Be creative and try new things. Live a little, while you still can. At this age, what have you got to lose? Some say sex after 60 is like playing pool with a rope. So try a different position. See if you get better results with more foreplay. Or try going to a website with pictures.

What you eat and drink affects your senior sex life. Fruits and veggies are good. They also help you live longer. Too much alcohol impairs performance, just like it did when you were younger. Some things never change.

Hopefully you follow an exercise program. A healthy body makes for better senior sex. You will have more strength and stamina. I promise.

Senior sex usually is best when you have the most energy. Is that early in the day? After the chores are done? Before or after the “early bird” dinner special?

Mental health is as important for senior sex as physical health. Attitude is everything. Stress, depression and anxiety can sap your sex drive and performance. Worrying only makes it worse.

Think that your aging face and body don’t look as good as they used to? So what? The same holds true for your partner. That person is still interested in you, and vice versa.

Good communication with your partner can work wonders. That person probably shares your doubts. Sharing feelings can reduce the pressure on both of you. The result is better senior sex.

Your medications can reduce your desires for senior sex. They also can reduce your performance. You can talk with your doctor, who should know the side effects of everything you are taking. You may be able to reduce your dosage or find other treatments.

So have a go, but don't let me know. I really can't handle any more email.
