The elderly are also normal people, and a normal sex life is essential, but the sex life of the elderly should be done within their capabilities and cannot be rushed. Some older adults mistakenly believe that abstinence can prolong life. As a result, they stopped doing housework in their sixties. Modern medicine believes that long-term abstinence in the elderly will lead to loss of sexual function. Because abstinence destroys the balance of the body, reduces the secretion of sex hormones, inhibits the human sexual instinct, cannot release the human body's total sexual desire, but causes harm to the human body and mind.

Studies have shown that alcoholics are more than 30 percent more likely to age and die than normal-sex individuals. The normal use of sexual organs can delay the decline of sexual function and maintain the normal secretion of sex hormones. If it is not used for a long time, the sexual organs will shrink and become unusable.

What should be paid attention to in the sexual life of the elderly?

sex time

Sex in young adults usually occurs after going to bed at night, which is not necessarily suitable for older adults. Older people feel tired easily. You will feel tired after a day of activity. How could they be interested in sex? Therefore, the sex life of the elderly should be carried out after going to bed or before getting up in the morning. After all, after a break, both mental and physical strength are restored, which makes sexual satisfaction easier for both parties. Not only do older people have sex at night, but when the urge comes, they can do it anytime their living circumstances allow.

sexual frequency

The sex life of the elderly should be based on the physical endurance of men. It is recommended every 2-3 weeks for those aged 60-65 and every 4-6 weeks for those aged 65-70. If you are healthy, you can shorten the time and increase the frequency according to your sexual desire. In conclusion, it should be based on sexual gratification after the fact, not fatigue or discomfort.

body fat loss

Elderly people lose body fat, are afraid of cold, and their ability to regulate heat and cold is weakened. Therefore, the elderly should pay attention to adjusting the room temperature during sex to avoid getting cold in winter and sweating in summer.

muscle atrophy

Muscle contractility, flexibility, and endurance decrease due to muscle atrophy. Therefore, attention should be paid to maintaining muscle strength through appropriate activities. Because the muscle strength of the elderly is poor and not flexible enough, it is also necessary to pay attention not to exert too much force or too much, so as to avoid back pain, muscle soreness and even unnecessary muscle damage, and choose a more labor-saving position (such as the lateral position).

choice of sexual object

As you age and your body functions decline, estrogen in your body decreases and your need for sex decreases. Many women refuse or hate sex as they get older. So what should men do? Obviously, forcing a partner to have sex is not advisable, and it can also create tension between couples. There are also men who have lost their wives and no longer have a partner in their later years. How can you solve this need? Realistic sex dolls should help him with that. Adult dolls always meet his needs and satisfy his demands. She can also become the object of widowed elders, allowing elders to speak their minds and reduce loneliness.
