We so many references to the sex lives of people in their 20s and 30s in movies and on TV but it’s rare to see the sex lives of anyone over the age of 50 discussed. It’s frustrating because there is no law or rule to say that once you go over the age of 50 that your sex life, desires, and passions wane. While some people will face inevitable bodily changes as they age, it’s still possible to have an enriching and fulfilling sex life. Having an enriching sex life whether you enjoy solo masturbation sessions or you have a partner has the power to improve your mood and some medical experts would strongly suggest that it improves your health also! Therefore there is nothing to lose in working on having a good sex life. After the age of 50, life might get less complicated where you may have decreasing work pressures and the childbearing years are largely gone so it’s a time that’s ripe for reconnection and discovery. There’s nothing to stop you exploring the use of new things that you might not have tried before such as the introduction of sex toys to enhance your masturbation experience or your sexual encounters with your partner. As we grow older, some men and women find that it takes longer to climax and so introducing some toys such as a penis ring or a clitoral stimulator or even something as simple as lubricant can make a massive impact on the sensations felt. It’s about keeping the spark alive which has the power to reinvigorate you also. The people at Carvaka have put together this infographic below on the topic of “senior sex”. It examines some of the myths associated with this generation and their experiences with sex; it highlights some key issues like STIs and it also suggests some exciting new things to try.
