As people age, their reproductive capacity will gradually lose, and their sexual desire will also decrease due to the decrease in hormones. Therefore, men and women do not dare to have sex after reaching the age of 50, thinking it is a shameful thing. In fact, sexual desire is an innate characteristic of men and women, and it is one of the ways of human courtship. Sexual life can be carried out at any age. However, the elderly will gradually reduce or even disappear due to their slow movements and reduced functions. However, this does not mean that sexual desire is an innate characteristic of men and women. It means you can't have sex.
