Seniors Have Active Sex Lives, Too

When I was in my thirties, I used to shudder at the idea of older people having sex. Back then it even felt uncomfortable thinking about my own parents having sex. Maybe you can relate? But it wasn’t until I was out playing golf this weekend that I realized it was men of my own age that are now facing these sexual issues.

One of my golf partners actually told us that he has had to resign to the fact he was too old to have sex anymore. Wow…that was startling to me considering this individual was only fifty-six. I told him he was simply crazy to think that way.

I read a recent survey that found that adults right up into their seventies continue to enjoy regular sex. And more than half of people 75 to 85 report having sex several times a month.

That’s good news to my ears. But much like my friend, sex as you grow older does present some challenges. Here are a few things I have learned being in the business of providing natural, sexual options.

• If you're a man, mind your testosterone levels—stick to a regular exercise routine, eat lots of broccoli and cauliflower and consider supplementing with tribulus terrestris, yohimbine, or l-arginine.
• Talk about sex more with your partner—by communicating openly you'll be able to share your needs and learn about those of your partner.
• Try some variety—the kids are long gone, so you can have sex any time of the day in whatever room you choose. You can also travel more or enjoy a romantic evening out without lining up a sitter…basically, enjoy the freedom.
• Try to be a little more romantic. Most women even into their later years still appreciate a little attention. I know…it can feel a little corny but a romantic card, flowers, or a nice massage will come back tenfold if you do it. I’m telling you this with experience. It’s worth it!

Forget about being too old…just do it! And if you have any physical limitations then try some of the many sexual enhancement options that are available.

Stay well,
