Can't elderly people have sex? What should elderly people pay attention to when having sex

Since ancient times, there has been a saying: "Food and sex are the same as sex." Sex has always been an eternal topic for humanity. From various TV series, it can be seen that sexual life is almost an experience that everyone has, even an emperor who is over the age of seventy would only want to be a ghost under the peony's flower.

This is a TV plot written, so everyone just laughed it off. But once we return to real life, if there are some elderly people around us who have sexual habits and behaviors, people often scoff and think that these elderly people are not serious. It seems that in general understanding, elderly people are no longer allowed to have sex. Is this idea wrong or correct? Can elderly people have sex?

Can elderly people have sex?

According to Professor Xuan Xujun (appointed by an expert), the director of the Department of Andrology at Sun Yat sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, theoretically speaking, although the levels of human hormones in the elderly decrease, the large amount of information stored in the brain and various established conditioned reflexes still enable them to maintain sexual requirements. The vast majority of elderly people can have sex until they are over 70 years old, with some remaining around 80 years old, and some still have sexual demands until the age of 90. Even at the age of 90, male testes can still produce some sperm.

Sexual activity is a whole-body activity that involves the heart, brain, blood vessels, nerves, endocrine systems, and spirit. Therefore, regular sexual activity can indeed make elderly people happy and have great health benefits.

Elderly people must pay attention to these when having sex

Having good sex for the elderly is an important indicator of happiness in their later years. It can be said that in order for both men and women to achieve health and longevity, they must have a pleasant marriage and family life, especially after entering the elderly, sexual life becomes even more important. But even so, not everyone can have sex, especially the elderly with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, should be restrained.

In addition, according to the physiological characteristics of the elderly, they should also pay attention to the following points when having sex:

1. Avoid fatigue

Elderly people should try to avoid having sex when they are tired or in a bad mood.

2. Avoid excessive stimulation

Elderly people should pay attention not to move quickly or forcefully during sexual activity, and the time should not be too long. It is more suitable to end around 10 minutes.
