We generally believe that as we get older, our sex life ceases. But it turns out that this is a common misunderstanding. Recently, the British Medical Daily published an American survey aimed at understanding the length of active sexual life.

The report shows that the average age of sexual activity for American men lasts until 65 years old, and for women it is 60 years old. Among men over 75 years old, 38.9% still have a strong sexual desire, compared with 16.8% of women in the same age group. The researchers said: "Older people should have confidence in their sexual desires and abilities. This survey is also good news for middle-aged people."

So, does this survey also apply to us Chinese? In this regard, our reporter interviewed Yang Dazhong, Department of Sexual Medicine, Yuquan Hospital, Tsinghua University. He said the investigation is relatively new. As far as he knew, there was no difference between Westerners and Easterners when it came to the duration of sex.

The survey also reflects the fact that older men have a much higher sexual desire than older women. Yang Dazhong believes that such investigation results are normal. Because after a woman’s amenorrhea, her ovarian function and estrogen levels decline, her sexual desire is bound to weaken. Moreover, the older a woman gets, the less vaginal secretions she has and the drier her vagina becomes, which can cause difficulty in sexual intercourse and easily lead to lower sexual desire.

Therefore, if the elderly want to maintain long-term sexual activity, they must maintain a stable frequency of sexual life, preferably two to three times a month. Moreover, both men and women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their reproductive organs. You can also change positions from time to time during sexual intercourse to increase interest. Women can use some lubricants appropriately to improve the problem of pain during sexual intercourse.

Can men be weak even if they are strong? Why?

In real life, many male friends feel that if they are strong and strong, they are unlikely to suffer from impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, when they encounter related situations, they will wonder why they still suffer from impotence even if they are strong and strong. Relevant experts pointed out that there are many causes of male impotence, mainly psychological stress, disease and other factors.

Impotence and premature ejaculation trouble the sexual life of many healthy men. Excessive anger, fatigue from staying up late, nervousness and irritability, excessive drinking, marital discord, trauma, excessive excitement due to negative stimulation, etc. will all cast a shadow on a healthy couple life. Although there are many factors that cause strong men to become ill, experts point out that male sexual function problems are largely caused by mental, psychological and sexual lifestyle factors, and have little to do with men's physical fitness.

Therefore, it does not mean that healthy men will not suffer from impotence and premature ejaculation. Warm reminder, impotence and premature ejaculation in men often have nothing to do with physical fitness. There are many causes of impotence and premature ejaculation. Patients must go to a regular hospital to find out the cause. Choosing the appropriate treatment method is the key to returning to normal. If you blindly listen to So-called folk remedies, or buying medicines from pharmacies and taking them by yourself, may not be beneficial to the disease. Instead, they may have negative effects, and the gain outweighs the loss.

8 black sex taboos that couples must know

One is after drinking. Drinking alcohol, especially drinking a large amount of hard alcohol, can cause the man's penis to become weak or cause premature ejaculation, hindering a harmonious sexual life, and getting pregnant after drinking can endanger the fetus. A survey found that drunken sex is also one of the important causes of sudden death.

The second is the menstrual period. At this time, the cervix is ​​open and it is very easy to get infected during sexual intercourse, leading to inflammation of the uterus or appendages. Studies have also found that during menstrual intercourse, women's menstrual secretions enter the male urethra, which can cause urethral irritation in men. Therefore, avoiding sexual intercourse during menstruation can effectively reduce the chance of reproductive organ infection.

The third is illness. When you are sick, the body's resistance is low and sexual sensitivity is reduced, which affects the quality of sexual life. Especially when you are suffering from infectious diseases, you should not have sex, otherwise you will not only suffer from it, but also pass it on to your loved ones.

The fourth is when you are tired. Sexual life requires a certain amount of physical strength and energy. When you are mentally or physically exhausted, sexual intercourse often fails to reach a climax and cannot achieve satisfactory results for both parties. Especially having sex immediately after exertion will damage your health.

Fifth, when you are in an unhappy mood. Some couples reluctantly have sex when one partner is in a bad mood. Not only do they lose the harmony of their sexual life, but they also make the partner who is in a bad mood resentful. If it happens repeatedly, it will lead to sexual frigidity in the woman or impotence in the man.

Sixth, when you are too full or hungry. Because the gastrointestinal tract is full and congested due to full meals, the blood supply to the brain and other organs of the body is relatively insufficient, so it is not suitable to have sex just after eating; when people are hungry, their physical strength decreases and they are not energetic. Sexual life is often difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

Seventh is postpartum. If you have sexual intercourse too early after delivery, it is easy to cause poor uterine involution and uterine bleeding. A survey shows that nearly 40% of women have sex for the first time after giving birth too hastily, which casts a shadow on their future sex life. Generally speaking, sexual life can be gradually resumed after 6-8 weeks postpartum.

Eight is before dawn. If neither party gets adequate rest, it will cause the body's balance to become imbalanced and reduce resistance; both parties will also suffer from excessive fatigue, which will affect work and study efficiency.
