Sex is fun, not to mention invigorating. Having sex is found out to be very beneficial to one’s health and best of all, it can alleviate stress. However, sex can also be a pain to seniors, well, literally speaking as there are hundreds of known bodily pain to seniors that can hinder them from having good sex! Here are some remedies for pain and discomfort for aging bodies while having sex:
•    For backache. It’s impossible to reach this age without ever knowing how important your back is when having sex. I would like to think that it is the part of the body that commands it all, well a close second to the things between your legs of course. If your back tells you that it is not a good time, resistance is futile, isn’t it? So what to do with an aching back? After taking your painkillers, for safety precaution of course, it is best to find a position that works for you and at the same time kinder to your back. Don’t be afraid to explore or have your partner explore, having sex is not only doing it standing and laying—it can also be done while you’re on your side, which most seniors find very comfortable by the way.
•    Vaginal dryness. Men don’t have any idea how vaginal dryness can ruin the moment. Of course, they won’t ever know that it can be as painful as hell. However, women do know and it is up to them to save what might be the night of their life! Women, I have one word for you all:  LUBRICANT. And not just any lubricant (no, your store-bought baby oil won’t do either), it has to be your drugstore-issued lubricant—or sex store for that matter, the one that is really made for sex. It is cheap, it is safe and there’s nothing embarrassing in purchasing one. On the other hand, if you worry that buying it is like screaming sex, then have your gynecologist put it on prescription, then you just have to hand it out to the drugstore clerk for him to pack along with your medications.
•    For post-surgery. If you are just recovering from a surgery or an illness, you need to take it slow. Better yet, ask your doctor if it’s safe for you to do so however don’t be afraid to cuddle as it can make you feel better. The key to enjoyable sex after an illness is communication. By letting your partner know your doubts and fears, you’ll be able to concentrate more on the moment rather than expecting trouble ahead.
