Sex is an eternal theme in literary and artistic works. But in the minds of some people, sex is a world for young people to roam, not a category for the elderly. But this goes against objective facts.

Shakespeare once said: "Love can double the function of every organ." Moderate sexual stimulation can regulate the brain nervous system, enhance the body's adaptability, and maintain physiological functions. balance. Because the secretion of gonads, in addition to ensuring sexual function, also contributes to hematopoiesis, metabolism and water and electrolyte balance. On the contrary, without sex, endocrine disorders will occur and physiological balance will be destroyed.

However, many middle-aged and elderly people have long been sleeping in separate beds due to the influence of traditional concepts, greatly reducing or even ending their sexual life, and they also think that this is the secret to longevity. Modern medical research has proven that sex is an important factor in disease prevention and treatment, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. Because sexual life can not only satisfy their physiological needs, but also have psychological effects such as mutual comfort and emotional communication. It can enhance the self-confidence and vitality of the elderly and is a good medicine for the elderly's health and longevity.

Surveys of people over 100 years old in the Soviet Union and Japan show that most of their spouses are still alive. It is also generally accepted that elderly people with spouses live longer than those without spouses, and those with a harmonious sexual life live longer than those with no sex life or those with a disharmonious sex life. It seems that the fallacy of "If your wife is ugly, she will live to be ninety-nine" should be changed to "If you insist on having sex, you will still be happy at ninety-nine." A Japanese survey also showed that the average life span of divorced men and women is shorter than that of those with happy families. Much more, men are 12 years younger and women are 5 years younger; divorced people are 2-7 times more likely to suffer from heart disease, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, lung cancer and gastric cancer than those in a happy marriage.

As you get older, are you really “uninterested in having sex”? According to a foreign survey, about 70% of 68-year-old men and 25% of 78-year-old men still maintain a regular sexual life; among middle-aged and elderly women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, the proportion of maintaining a sexual life is 88% respectively. ,76%,65%. Theoretically, although the sex hormone levels of the elderly decrease, the large amount of information stored in the brain and the various conditioned reflexes that have been established still enable them to maintain sexual requirements. In real life, many single elderly people often say that they have "rejuvenated their youth" after finding a sexual partner or remarrying, as if their lives have become more energetic as if stimulants have been injected into them.

I personally believe that behind many of the illnesses and family discord among the elderly are often hidden underlying sexual hunger issues. Therefore, we should support and encourage the elderly to enjoy the joy of clouds and rain, and pay attention to the significance of sex in maintaining health and longevity. This should also become one of the standards for whether children are filial.
