After entering old age, the sexual desire and frequency of sexual intercourse of couples are not as good as when they were young. However, physiologically speaking, people do not age as they age. The elderly should not only have sexual interests and requirements, but also receive understanding and support. In the past two years of outpatient service, I have a very profound experience, that is, more and more elderly patients are seeing men's outpatient clinics. A few days ago, a healthy old man came to the outpatient clinic. He told the doctor that he was 83 years old. After retirement, he had been exercising, eating regularly and resting regularly. He was in good health and had a strong sexual desire, but he had some difficulty in erecting. He wanted to Let me help him. There was also an old man who was nearly 70 years old and came to the clinic carrying wedding candies. He said that he had found his wife again and wanted to enjoy it on his wedding night.

This phenomenon makes us andrologists very pleased. Because many older men are troubled by ED (erectile dysfunction). Domestic surveys show that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in middle-aged men over 40 years old is 40.2%-73.1%, and increases with age. The increase is particularly obvious in those over 60 years old. It is generally manifested as the penis cannot continue to reach or cannot reach erectile function. Maintain a sufficient erection to obtain a satisfactory sex life, and the course of the disease lasts for more than 3 months. In the past, due to people's misunderstandings and consciousness constraints, many men avoided medical treatment after suffering from ED, or self-medicated themselves, or took supplements indiscriminately, delaying treatment and regretting their lives. Nowadays, people's average life expectancy has increased significantly, and the proportion of elderly people is constantly increasing. The pursuit of life by elderly friends is not only about wearing warm clothes and having enough food, but also pays more attention to spiritual happiness. Seeing an andrologist is no longer a shameful thing, but symbolizes the pursuit of sexual happiness and the pursuit of quality of life.

For the elderly, insisting on sex is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but also helps them maintain a young mind and sharp memory. The frequency of sexual intercourse for older men should be based on their own tolerance. There is no fixed number for the number of sexual intercourses. It is appropriate that both husband and wife do not feel unwell after intercourse. If you have good physical fitness, you can shorten the interval and increase the number of times according to your sexual desire requirements; if you have poor physical fitness, you can reduce the number of times and weaken the intensity.

So, even if you are nearly eighty years old, you still have the right to enjoy sex and have the right to make sex more happy and harmonious with the help of a doctor.

Sex life tips for the elderly

1. Lower expectations. In old age, comprehensive physiological decline leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of sexual sensitive areas, and the intensity of sensory stimulation required to cause sexual excitement will also increase, resulting in a slower and lower intensity of sexual responses in the elderly. Only by bravely facing this change and taking the initiative to engage in sexual activities as a couple according to the characteristics and rules of the elderly can we get satisfactory results.

2. Persistence. The frequency and time of sexual life for the elderly need to be determined according to their own health and taste. You can maintain sexual intercourse 1 to 2 times a month, or at least once every two months. It is important to be consistent, otherwise "sexual emotions" and "sexual interest" will also disappear.

3. The ejaculation power of informal older men is greatly weakened and the amount of semen will be reduced. This is normal; and ejaculation is not necessary during sexual intercourse. In addition, the sexual life of the elderly does not necessarily have to have an orgasm: it does not have to be done by the couple together, "masturbation" is also acceptable: the sexual life does not have to be in the bedroom or on the bed.

4. Diverse content. The expression of sex is definitely not just sexual intercourse. Some elderly people are more willing to satisfy their ideological peace. Caress and attachment play an even more important role in sexual life and are an important way to ignite passion and maintain a marriage. Fantasy, flirting, humor, teasing, teasing, gentle gaze and other forms of feelings and emotional expressions can strengthen the relationship between husband and wife. External mutual attraction, psychological interdependence, and emotional complementation are all expressions of love and an important part of sexual life.

5. Seek medical intervention. As age increases, some physical changes will occur to both husband and wife, making sexual life more difficult. Most physical functions of elderly men tend to decline, and androgen levels progressively decrease, which can lead to erectile dysfunction; elderly women can also reduce vaginal secretions due to reduced estrogen secretion levels, making vaginal dryness. Therefore, necessary medical intervention is required.

However, when improving sexual performance, no matter what kind of drug is used, you should obtain the guidance of a specialist and follow the principles of individualized medication. Particular attention should be paid to preventing the side effects of the drug.
