Whether they are new couples or old couples, they all need a certain amount of sexual life to make the relationship between husband and wife more harmonious. However, many people will find that their sexual life begins to be a little inadequate when they get older. In fact, according to doctors, if you keep an open mind, adapt to changes in body functions, and respond positively and reasonably, you can still enjoy a happy sexual life even in your twilight years.

1. Quit smoking and drinking

Smoking can cause erectile dysfunction, and 12 million people in China have impotence caused by smoking. Moreover, smoking increases people's risk of lung cancer, heart disease, myocardial infarction and other diseases, so quit if you can.

Many people think that alcohol can help sexual intercourse, but in fact drinking too much alcohol can hardly achieve the desired effect. After drinking a lot of alcohol, a man's ability to have an erection is significantly reduced. Moreover, alcohol is not good for cardiovascular health, and people with cardiovascular disease are at greater risk of erectile dysfunction.

2. Relax your body and mind

Under pressure, it is difficult for both men and women to have "sexual" interest. Stress affects many functions of the body and can also affect our sexual experience.

Children have their own lives, so you don’t need to worry too much about them. Leave more time for yourself, maintain regular exercise and get enough sleep. These can all help you relax better, and you can also seek professional help if necessary.

3. Don’t be anxious

As you get older, you may be very concerned about how you look, how you appear to your partner, and worried about your performance in bed.

These worries may make you more reluctant to have intimate contact, which is a heavy burden on sexual happiness and intimate relationships.

You can try caressing each other with your partner in the dark. This may make both parties feel more secure and feel less inferior about their bodies.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Although we cannot stop time from leaving traces on our bodies, time also allows us to better understand our bodies, our partners, and how to better cooperate with each other.

4. Manage weight

No matter what age you are, you should manage your weight through exercise and diet.

Obesity not only brings about the problem of insufficient self-confidence, but also really affects sexual function:

Obesity will affect male sexual desire and erection. Being overweight is also related to high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. These factors will reduce blood flow to the penis;

For women, obesity can also cause blood flow obstruction. When the blood vessels leading to the clitoris narrow, it is more difficult for women to achieve sexual pleasure and their sexual desire will also be weakened.

5. Pay attention to safety

As you age, a safe and healthy sex life is still an important thing.

Although as you get older and no longer need contraception, it is still recommended to use condoms. It protects against some sexually transmitted diseases and provides extra lubrication.
