Sometimes it is hard to remember when you last got intimate as a couple especially if your age has advanced beyond the age of 50. Sex after 50 is a rare event for many long-term couples. The surprising thing is that, that aspect in their lives does not seem to bother them. The men hardly think about it and some women are happy it does not happen.
A sexless marriage especially at a senior couple's age seems normal, it isn’t. It leads to frustration if one of the partners has a sexual urge which is not fulfilled. Many think that it is a feat which can be only achieved by the movie stars. This is a misconception. Intimacy is quiet within reach even after the age of 50. Recent research has shown that women are highly sexually starved at this age since their men prefer to resign from sex once they hit 50.
The only drawback is that things might take longer to get started. It is impossible to be sexually aroused at the same rate you used to when you were a hot-blooded youngster. Communication is the key to igniting the passion again.
The smitten partner should make it known that she still needs her conjugal rights fulfilled. Make your partner is aware of the void in your marriage. He should know that Sex at 50 is still important to you. Why do you think your sex life is poor? Is it poor libido or is it your busy lifestyles? It may not be a wonder to find out that your busy routine has edged out intimacy. Get to learn the root of a problem. This can jump-start a productive talk.
Sex after 50 can be an embarrassing discussion for most people. You need the romance so you have to confront the issue. The man might be having less lust due to decreased levels of male hormones in the body. This mostly leads to erectile dysfunction. If this is the case, subtly broach the subject and advice him to visit his doctor. As an aging woman, your body has undergone some changes too. Discuss them too in order to put your husband at ease of discussing his problems. You want to share sexual pleasure together so make sharing the norm in your new journey to rediscover passion.
To beat the challenges of old age, it is good to always do the right timing. Sex should be timed either in the morning hours or early afternoon. Both of you should be fully awake and psychologically prepared for it. To add more excitement, add the novelty of lingerie, come up with a new sex position. Toys can also add fun to the experimentation.
