Just so we are seniors doesn’t mean we will not be alarmed when our partners suddenly lose interest on us or just fall asleep the minute their backs hit the bed. Or let’s, for a minute, reverse the situation and suddenly find ourselves too tired to cuddle and just guiltily climb into bed without further ado. If there’s something we can do about it then why not, who in his or her right mind would like to always go home tired and depleted anyway? Only sometimes, going home tired and weary cannot be helped even by your most trusted multivitamins as a backup.
Your sex life, at any age, is important. It covers one of human’s basic needs, no matter how dirty that may sound. As we age, sex becomes more than just a physical act. In a way, it creates or rekindles connection between two human beings and can even fill a void in their lives. However, as reality starts to kick in and human obligations and responsibilities come knocking at your door, that’s when the problem starts.
It was said that sex is at its most beautiful when participants are relaxed and free of inhibitions. However, energy spent at work can really put even the strongest man down. It is important to know that the body has only one energy reserve. If your bucket of energy is spent somewhere else besides sex, there will be no more for anything else. This is especially true for seniors since an aging body seldom has the vitality of a younger one. As we grow older, we really need to slow down and redirect our attention to our own needs, particularly that of our bodies. Problem is, work can really interfere with our private lives, whether it’s a personal choice or a matter of obligation. Fast-phased life demands more from us than ever and sadly seniors who are still with the workforce are compelled to always give it their best even if it means sacrificing their sexlife at the end of the day. Furthermore, technology today makes it harder for us to leave work in the office. Now that almost everything is mobile, work can really invade your home and your bedroom!
Let’s not forget the tension, stress and angst that go with working. If you belong to the 9-5 workforce then you must be worrying about losing your job in this very unpredictable market atmosphere as well, while those working at home are always on their toes keeping up with their self-set quota. If you are really concerned about your dwindling sex life, a senior must learn how to limit energy spent working, including those you tend to bring home like your laptop, mobile phone and reports. Actually setting aside a time for it, like one-day honeymoon can help you forget work for a while and enjoy each other’s company as well. Sometimes, sex drive is only a matter of being in the right place at the right time, so really be there when that time comes.
