Easier said than done, you say? Not really, when you consider all the help that’s available through both modern medical science and from what we know about the psychology of sex. What if your partner is unavailable? Self-stimulation (masturbation) is common and poses no health risks or side effects.

A couple of other considerations should include appropriate positions, adequate use of foreplay, medications, and permanent medical conditions.

Appropriate positions

Conditions like early arthritis are a reality for many folks, even in their middle years. If physical discomfort is an issue for you, consider looking into different sexual positions that may improve the situation. A little research in this area can be very fruitful, especially when you can discover a new position that satisfies both partners while still being comfortable for both. Here’s a quick tip: try putting pillows or cushions under the hips.

Adequate foreplay

Issues like vaginal dryness can make many women partners unresponsive, even when they wish otherwise. By spending a little more time on foreplay many of these issues can be passed by. Using lubes or creams can increase lubrication, making sexual contact more welcome, and even more exciting, as the application of these products can act as a form of foreplay all on its own. Some of these have been specifically formulated with herbal sexual stimulant formulas added in (products such as Vigorelle) which can add even
further dimensions.

Medications

Many medications can have a negative effect on testosterone production, which can drastically reduce men’s sex drive and penile performance regardless of age. Other medications can also affect sexual performance and libido. Although drugs like Viagra have been created to help with erectile dysfunction, many heart and blood-pressure medications (like nitroglycerine)interact very badly with drugs like Viagra, even resulting in heart attack in some cases. To avoid problems, look to alternatives like asking your physician to prescribe a different class of medication, or look into herbal treatments like VigRX Oil that have few (if any) side effects and are safe to use with most heart medications.

Permanent medical conditions

The effects of physical alterations due to illness or surgeries (e.g. colostomies, mastectomies, etc.) can affect sexual performance. In these cases communication with your partner becomes important to help remove feelings of guilt, embarrassment, or fear, which can often have further reaching effects than the procedures themselves.

To sum it up, there are differences in how we approach sex and how we engage in sex as we age, but there are also benefits. Experience and education can get us much more out of our later sexual experiences, and as long as we’re physically careful, and tend to our sexual health, partners can continue to have satisfying sex well into their senior years.
