Menopause generally occurs between the ages of fifty and sixty. Of course, due to different physical conditions, menopause may be earlier or later. For couples in menopause, sexual life can be carried out normally. Moreover, sexual life can not only maintain sexual health, but also use this physical and mental pleasure to relieve some symptoms of menopausal anxiety. However, there are four major misunderstandings in the sexual life of menopausal couples.

It’s easy to get into misunderstandings about married life during menopause

Myth 1: Menopause means loss of sexual function

For postmenopausal women, as the ovaries lose function and no longer secrete estrogen, vaginal dryness, itching, and pain during intercourse may gradually occur. After these symptoms appear, some women think that they have lost their sexual function, so they refuse sex. Female lubricants are the best solution for vaginal dryness. Postmenopausal women no longer have to worry about pregnancy and can enjoy sex more easily.

Misunderstanding 2: You should reduce your sex life during menopause

Experts say that the frequency of sexual intercourse should be determined based on the physical condition and living habits of the couple. It is best to let nature take its course and not to reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse specifically because of menopause. Deliberately reducing sex life can lead to hormonal imbalance, aggravate menopausal symptoms, and may also lead to marital discord.

Myth 3: Low sexual desire during menopause is caused by physical fatigue

The root cause of low libido during menopause is hormonal changes in the body. Loss of ovarian function in women and reduction of estrogen in the body may lead to decreased sexual desire. Reduced male hormones may also lead to a lack of sexual desire. Experts point out that appropriate hormone supplementation can help improve symptoms and increase sexual desire, but it needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Myth 4: Men should abstain from sex to preserve sperm after menopause

Traditional Chinese medicine sexual intercourse health preservation advocates "abstinence in sexual intercourse and preservation of sperm", but it does not mean abstinence, but requires proper sexual life and maintenance of body balance. Deliberately reducing sex will not preserve sperm, and may also affect your health.

How do middle-aged couples have a good sex life?

After reaching middle age, the married life of couples has entered a stable period lacking passion from the fresh period. During this period, the physical intimacy between husband and wife will not be like it was before, just like the left hand touching the right hand, without any passion. In terms of sexual health, middle-aged couples are prone to burnout in their sex life and are prone to cheating. At this time, what are some good ways to make sex life as good as the first night?

Women take the initiative

Between young couples, the husband always takes the initiative to draw his wife closer and whisper in her ear to express her desire to have sex. Over the years, the wife may become more aggressive due to changes in hormone secretion. Both men and women secrete male hormones and estrogen, but at different ages, their secretion ratios are different. After a man's secretion ratio of these two hormones changes, he may be more willing to be in a passive position. After the estrogen in women's bodies decreases, the secretion of male hormones increases accordingly, and they may become more active. If a middle-aged woman truly falls in love and dares to play and have sex, then her sex life will naturally be more harmonious.

Creative sex

Perfect sex requires constant innovation. As couples grow older, they get to know each other better. Because of their mutual familiarity and trust, they are no longer shy about discussing how to have a more satisfying sex life. You might as well learn to use new methods and new perspectives to solve old problems, such as couples bathing together, etc. Women are more bold and willing to accept new things, and they are more able to experience passionate sex life. For example, pulse wands, pulse vibrators and seductive rabbit ears bring double internal and external stimulation, which can bring double passion to women both inside and outside the body, instantly awakening the body's desire and leading to soul tremors.

Common climax

Middle-aged couples are more likely to reach mutual orgasm. Young people's sexual behavior is fast and furious. They are easily excited and explode like gunpowder. Men in their 20s can reach orgasm 2-3 minutes after sexual intercourse begins, but it may take more than 20 minutes for a wife to reach a high level of excitement. So it often happens that when the wife is getting better, the husband has already stopped. Surveys show that newlywed women in their twenties have the most difficulty reaching orgasm of all age groups. As age increases, the rhythm of male excitement begins to slow down, and the blood flow rate and muscle contraction speed naturally slow down. Therefore, it takes longer for men in their forties or fifties to reach climax. This kind of slow and emotional sex is more attractive to the wife. With the synchronization of "sexual excitement", the wife will naturally be satisfied.
