Overcoming the problem of late-life sexual desire

Most couples over 60 years old struggle and have many problems with sex. Some couples still have sexual desire but the wife does not accept it.

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

As age increases, the aging process will cause great changes in the psychological and physiological life of both sexes following the natural degenerative trend. 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 post-menopausal but not necessarily menopausal. There are even cases where sexual desire increases somewhat after menopause. However, whether you like it or not, aging 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 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 the age of 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 an older age, the amount of semen is less, the ability to ejaculate also decreases.

Although there are changes, the quality of pleasure is no different from that of young people, because before eating 3 bowls or just 1 bowl of rice is 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... that the aging process occurs 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 the incomplete and incorrect awareness of sexual life in the elderly stage, many women think that having sex with their husbands at an old age is a laughable thing. Therefore, they find every way to refuse, at first they may have to try to restrain 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 semen residue and prostate fluid secreted are not naturally eliminated, which can make the lower abdomen feel heavy and uncomfortable. If you restrain yourself for a long time, you can also get impotence, 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 physical 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 in choosing and preparing food as well as regularly pressing some acupoints, acupuncture has the effect of improving sexual ability in the elderly. In terms of diet, the elderly should eat more seafood rich in zinc (increase vitality) and supplement vitamin E (anti-aging and enhance gonads).
