Sex life is an essential lubricant for couples. When men and women are young, their hormones are on the rise, so they have a higher demand for sex. As age increases, the hormones in the body, physical fitness and other aspects decrease, and the sexual desire also decreases, and you don’t look forward to sex life very much. This feeling is especially obvious after entering the age of 60, which makes people think that only young couples need sex. In fact, middle-aged and elderly couples, especially those after 60, do not need to have sex. In fact, this is a wrong statement.

Can 60-year-old couples still have sex?

Women generally enter menopause and experience amenorrhea at the age of 50. At this time, estrogen secretion decreases and sexual desire decreases. After entering the age of 60, sexual desire decreases significantly. Men's sexual desire will also gradually decrease during this stage, but this does not mean that 60-year-olds cannot have sex, nor does it mean that they have no sexual needs.

Most elderly people are afraid of being alone. Having sex can comfort both parties and increase the relationship between the couple. After physical and psychological satisfaction, not only can each other be happy, but it can also delay aging. Therefore, couples can have sex after the age of 60 not only without harm but also with benefits.

What should elderly couples pay attention to when having sex?

1. Avoid overwork

Most young people like to have sex before going to bed, but for the elderly, having sex in the morning provides a better experience. Because sex requires a lot of physical energy, after a full night's rest, various functions are restored and hormone secretion is relatively strong. Having sex at this time can prevent both parties from being too tired. Be careful not to have sex when you are overtired or physically sick.

2. The frequency of sexual life should be controlled

Sex life can stimulate the brain and lead to sympathetic nerve excitement. However, if it is done too frequently, the muscle nerves and genital nerves will be in a state of overexcitation and congestion for a long time, which will damage the urinary system, reproductive system, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. The frequency of sexual life for the elderly can be maintained at once a week. If you feel good and have no discomfort after each sexual intercourse, it means you have a high-quality sexual life.

3. Move slowly

Unlocking new positions during sex is exciting, but for older couples, carelessness can cause harm. Don't pursue exciting movements, moving slowly can ensure safety.
