The results of a study conducted by the University of California, San Diego shows that sexually active women who are in their late fifties or sixties lead a happier life. There is nothing to be surprised about it. Healthy women who are active can enjoy sex even in their eighties. It is no secret that men are capable of reproduction till a very late age.
Women may not be capable of reproducing but they too can enjoy a normal sex life after they have crossed sixty. It helps them stay fitter and happier. There is a lot of taboo and speculations regarding the sex life of elderly women. Many consider this inappropriate. The desire for sexual gratification is normal and there is nothing to be embarrassed about it.
After menopause, severe hormonal changes take place inside a woman’s body. The absence of estrogen can make your vagina dry. One easy way to counter this problem is to use good quality lubes.
Some women in their late sixties feel self-conscious and stay away from sex thinking that menopause has changed the way their vaginas look.
This is a common misconception. Dearth of estrogen can take toll on your libido and decrease the amount of natural fluids in your vagina but it does not change the shape of it. Sexual penetration can enhance blood circulation in your genitals and keep it flexible.
Sex boosts the emotional health of women. Women often start facing serious mood swings after their menopause. A regular and satisfying sex life helps them get a grip on their emotions. Sex also promotes a stable and steady relationship. A happy conjugal or romantic relationship revives the desire for life in women, as they need emotional satisfaction for staying totally fit.
Having sex after you have crossed sixties may not be easy but it is not impossible. Discuss your sexual expectations and limitations with your partner and then find what works for both of you.
Sex in the late fifties and afterwards is more about caressing, fondling and romantic foreplay. Women need to feel emotionally connected and content to enjoy sex. A sexually active woman will age with more grace and glow.
Summary:
Sex seems to be the key to a happy old age for women. It keeps them emotionally stable and does not let them feel depressed. There is no need to hold you back from having sex just because of age.
