Three principles for healthy sex in the elderly
As people age, their bodies cannot keep up. Even if they are young at heart and yearn for sex, they still have more energy than strength. Don't be discouraged in the face of this situation, because the elderly can still have a healthy and harmonious sex life, but they must master three principles.
Make love slowly
Slow down during sex. If the elderly have sexual intercourse too fast, they may suffer from physical exhaustion, causing their sexual life to "abandon halfway", and even induce dizziness, palpitation, etc. Secondly, the sexual desire of the elderly is mainly contact desire. Therefore, sex should be based on caressing, and more emphasis should be placed on slow and sufficient foreplay, rather than "getting into play" as quickly as possible.
The frequency of sex should be stable
Sex should be regular. If physical conditions permit, try not to be asexual for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to sexual dysfunction, psychological depression, emotional irritability, etc. But the elderly should not indulge in sexual activities to prevent accidents. Generally speaking, the specific number of sexual intercourse for the elderly varies from person to person. As long as the sexual desire is naturally aroused, the whole process of making love is completed naturally, and it does not affect sleep or the mental state of the next day afterwards, it is normal.
The best sex position is the side position
When the elderly have sexual intercourse, both parties should adopt the side position. The muscle strength level, bone density, and body coordination abilities of the elderly are not as good as before. Choose the side position, where the support points of both parties' bodies are on the bed, which will be safer and less labor-intensive. Moreover, at this time, the sexual organs of both parties are in the most complete contact, and the stimulation intensity is stronger.
