Is old age an obstruction in sex?



It’s a common belief that old people don’t have sex or they don’t get the urge anymore. However the fact is something different. On the contrary, more variants are invented for intercourse as certain positions are not possible anymore. Women get psychologically aroused less quickly. Old men ejaculate less quickly. Sometimes the desire to make love is also reduced to a greater extent. Even then practice of sex can’t be denied.

More often at older age, erectile problems occur. In most cases, the frequency of making love is also lower, but the pleasure in making love increases. This also depends on the quality of the relationship and how the partners treat each other.
Most men fortunately continue to produce enough testosterone (a potent androgenic hormone responsible for the development of male secondary sex characteristics) as they age to maintain their interest in senior sex. If you find yourself losing interest in sex, the first thing you should do is to have your health professional check your testosterone level.
At the same time, the aging process leads to other changes in your body. That may make senior sex more challenging for you and your partner. Age-related changes are different for men and women, and it is important for you to understand what you and your partner are going through.
Longer foreplay may help stimulate your natural lubrication, and you can use a water-based personal lubricant to make up the difference. You may also want to talk to your health professional about estrogen cream, and estrogen ring, or another estrogen replacement therapy to improve your body’s hormone balance.
Actually, having intercourse regularly can help a woman maintain lubrication and elasticity. On the other hand, if she hasn't had intercourse since a long time, it will take time to stretch her vagina enough to accommodate a penis comfortably.
It may take a man longer to achieve an erection as he gets older. In addition, his erections may not be as firm or last as long as they did when he was younger. Aging also will lengthen his time between possible ejaculations. One should talk frankly with his partner, and try different positions that may make inserting his penis easier and more enjoyable for both of them.
You should also talk to your doctor or health professional if you're having trouble with Impotence, maintaining an erection or reaching orgasm. You may require medication that can help you achieve and maintain an erection.
The inability to achieve an erection is not directly caused by ageing itself but may result from several medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or neurological disorders that contribute to Erectile Dysfunction. One can consume medications like Generic Viagra, generic Cialis,Kamagra and Penegra to get rid Erection Dysfunction.
So don’t feel shy to express your sexual urge. You can still satisfy yourself and your partner. All that you need is to give proper information to your doctor. Believe me, the medication and treatment is available. And please stop believing that you should no longer enjoy the natural pleasure of sex after growing older. After all, age is a matter over mind. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
