Overcoming the problem of late-life desire

Most couples over 60 struggle and have many problems with sex. Some couples still have sexual desires but their wives do not accept them.

There are couples where the wife is still passionate but the husband is indifferent because of the reason that he needs to take care of his health due to old age. These things cause many problems in their lives.

As we age, the aging process will cause great changes in the psychological and physiological life of both sexes in the direction of natural degeneration. Accordingly, sexual obstacles are very common. People over 60 years old, if they have normal health and favorable circumstances, still have sexual desire.

Women aged 50-55 are usually postmenopausal but not necessarily menopausal. There are even cases where sexual desire increases somewhat after menopause. However, whether we like it or not, the aging process still occurs in the elderly. The gonads decrease in activity and will stop completely. The reproductive organs degenerate. The sexual rhythm of older couples will of course gradually decrease.

Exercising and playing sports helps improve the quality of life in old age.

For men, “slow but not off” - is the first characteristic of the sexual function of aging men. A common fact at the age of 50, many men have begun to feel changes in sexual physiology; sexual responses become slower and more erratic, men are prone to impotence and ejaculation disorders. Erections are no longer as quick as when they were young, it takes more time to stimulate to achieve the necessary erection to enter, or "the tire is suddenly flat" abnormally due to some small impact.

After age 60, the refractory period is prolonged (ie the time to restore erectile ability is longer), it takes many days to be able to have an erection again after ejaculation. The need to ejaculate is no longer urgent and many people feel completely comfortable having sex without ejaculation. At older ages, the amount of semen is less, the ability to ejaculate also decreases.

Despite the changes, the quality of pleasure is no different from that of young people, because before eating 3 bowls or just 1 bowl of rice was equally delicious. It is worth mentioning that it is not uncommon for couples, for many different reasons such as age difference, health status and illness, level of awareness, social communication conditions... to have the aging process occur at different speeds and nature.

The result is a difference in sexual ability and response. The husband still has the desire and ability to perform, but the wife, on the contrary, the aging process has made them tired and always feel bored. Women often suffer from vaginal dryness and orgasm disorders. Or while the husband is "exhausted", the wife is still quite intense, which is commonly called "rejuvenation".

On the other hand, due to inadequate and incorrect awareness of sexual life in old age, many women think that having sex with their husbands at an old age is something to laugh at. Therefore, they find every way to refuse, at first they may have to try to control themselves, but gradually their indifference to "sex" has become a reality, and even if they want to recover, it is not easy.

Therefore, when you are still vigorous, even though you are old, do not try to restrain yourself, it can lead to the situation where the residue of semen and prostate fluid is not naturally eliminated, which can make the lower abdomen feel heavy and uncomfortable. If you restrain yourself for a long time, you can also become impotent, creating gloom in your married life.

In women, there is a phenomenon of rejuvenation, when their spirit becomes excited, leading to an increase in sexual desire. At this time, psychological satisfaction in the bedroom is more important than physiological satisfaction. Therefore, when reaching retirement age, you should pay attention to harmony, listen to your partner and need to maintain moderation in sexual activity. Because if you do it properly and harmoniously, it will help strengthen the body's immune function, help relieve stress, and eliminate feelings of loneliness.

Everyone needs to take care of themselves both mentally and physically to create a quality emotional life. Avoid unnecessary stress as much as possible. Actively participate in social activities and sports to improve health.

You should consult your doctor about choosing and preparing food as well as how to regularly press certain acupoints and acupuncture points to improve sexual performance in the elderly. In terms of diet, the elderly should eat more seafood rich in zinc (increases vitality) and supplement with vitamin E (anti-aging and enhances the gonads).
