Male Sexuality and Aging
Although men can remain sexually active throughout their lives, they will experience normal age-related changes in their sexual response after 60. The important thing to remember about men’s sexual health is that sexual changes are normal as men age. However, these changes do not have to prevent him from having the best sex of his life. How do these two statements make sense? Sex Over Sixty addresses the changes in male sexuality and male sexual health. Erectile dysfunction, sex after surgery, sexual side effects of medication, and other sex-related issues not commonly discussed with physicians or friends are frankly discussed and solutions are presented on the Sex Over Sixty DVDs.
It is a fact of male sexual health that as men age there is a gradual decline in testosterone, the hormone responsible for sexual desire. A man’s sex drive therefore declines as he ages, but testosterone does not disappear. The rigidity of erections may vary significantly, but erections can still be achieved. To avoid erectile dysfunction, and achieve satisfying sexual encounters, there is a necessity for physical stimulation of the penis as well as erotic stimulation of the mind. After 60, male sexuality relies on sexual fantasy, as well as physical stimulation. Given time, gentle lovemaking can accelerate into passionate intercourse—baby boomer sex is possible!
If one understands that sexual activities will be much slower after 60, erections may take longer to achieve with aging, and that there is no need to rush lovemaking, then good, fulfilling sex, including coital intercourse, can be achieved after 60. Men and women who learn what is happening to their bodies as they age and who can communicate with each other, will achieve a new understanding of sex, and develop new methods of intimacy. This will lead to some of the best sex of their lives. Sex Over Sixty DVDs explain how people over 60 can reawaken sexual experimentation and renew the joy of wonderful safe sex for seniors.
