For some reason, younger ones are quick to assume that seniors are no longer interested in sex and the likes. I’ve read many articles explaining that when we age, it is only normal to experience diminishing sex libido however, when I ask my seniors friends, this is not always the case and it is quite easy to see disappointment and frustration in their eyes. Truth be told, seniors are still interested in sex and the act itself, only, there were hindrances that aging brought about.
Below are some of the most practical tips for seniors to still enjoy sex without the nuisance of an aging body:
· Do something about those aches and pains! Imagine you’re in the mood for sex and your partner is agreeing, completely into sex. The rush effectively blocked out this morning’s lower back pain then suddenly, it came back – full force, double the pain, even. I bet, it threw all remaining sexual feelings out the window at once, never to come back. Ask your doctor about pain management, or if this is an occasional thing for you, then ask what’s safe for you to take and have it within reach. Take a pain reliever at first sign of ache/pain if you are planning on a romantic night with your partner.
· Do it as soon as you feel it. No matter where you are, as soon as you feel the stirrings, you should go for it! You won’t feel it anyway if you think you are in an awkward situation, don’t you think? The other thing that can effectively kill the mood is having too many rules to observe.
· Use aids. Not really sexual aids but things that can make your rolling around more comfortable such as pillows for support. Anything that can make your lovemaking comfortable, go for it. If you are having a hard time relaxing before sex – as you know, it is important to be very relaxed and focused when engaging in the act – try dimming the lights, playing some romantic music in the background and light some candles to put you and your partner in the mood.
· Don’t forget to lubricate! Men or women, bear in mind that when your girl partner is dry, it will be very uncomfortable for both of you so save your ladylove her discomfort and buy some lubricants. They are cheap and they are lying just about everywhere, no need to get all embarrassed about it.
· Make some time for it. Work usually got in the way, or doctor’s appointment, or your org. whatever it is, you just have to make time for it, set aside some time for sexual fun so that when that time finally comes, you are ready and really into it.
