According to a survey in the United States, among Americans aged 75 to 85, three out of every four men enjoy sex, and half of women in this age group still have sex. In China, the main problem faced by elderly marriage is the lack of intimate relationships.
According to a sampling survey in Tianjin, only 20% of elderly couples have a close relationship with each other, while 70% of the elderly believe that their emotions are indifferent, their lives lack passion, and there is no emotional commitment. They gather together to spend their days together. The intimate communication between people does not actually decrease with age. On the contrary, traditional restrictions on elderly people are the main reason for the decrease in communication between their partners: in the minds of many elderly people, sexual activity is harmful to their health, which undoubtedly greatly reduces their interest in sexual activity.
Secondly, marital relationships and partners' attitudes towards sexual life have a certain impact on the sexual needs of the elderly. There is also a traditional belief that Chinese elderly people help raise their grandchildren, leaving very limited time for themselves, which also reduces the opportunity to enjoy sexual life.
Is Elderly Men Must Be Impotent?
The vast majority of elderly people can have sex until they are over 70 years old, with some lasting until around 80 years old, and some still have sexual demands until the age of 90. Medical reports show that even at the age of 90, male testicles produce sperm. This proves that the sexual function of elderly people does not rapidly lose with age, and only reproductive function is lost. Reproductive function and sexual function are two different things.
But now many elderly people believe that their own place is not good, partly due to sexual inhibition. Sexual demands that cannot be met due to long-term oppression can easily disappear over time, leading to symptoms such as decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Due to the compression of sexual desire, semen cannot be excreted, causing stasis and congestion in certain tissues, causing aseptic inflammation of the prostate and seminal vesicles, manifested as low back pain, perineal discomfort, scrotal and testicular swelling, urethral irritation, and other symptoms.
Do elderly women have sexual demands?
It is generally believed that elderly women have stopped hormone secretion and almost no sexual desire due to ovarian dysfunction. Just because men's sexual desire fades later, elderly women still face sexual problems. In fact, this view is not comprehensive. From a biological perspective, the secretion of ovarian hormones and adrenal cortical hormones in elderly women decreases, and the level of sexual activity decreases. However, there is still secretion of gonadotropins in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The main factor determining the sexual demands of elderly women is psychological factors. For example, whether you have confidence in your own sexual abilities, whether your sexual life has been coordinated over the years, and whether you have any other psychological barriers. Many experts believe that maintaining sexual desire and appropriate sexual activity in elderly women can help delay the atrophy of reproductive organs such as the vagina and prevent brain aging.
Make the Spring of the Elderly Full of Joy
The sexual activity of elderly people is actually not limited to form. Compared to many young couples, elderly people have a lot of time and space, so they can design suitable sexual time and methods based on each other's personality and physical condition. Please remember that sex is not sexual intercourse, and caressing and intimate communication are also part of sexual intercourse.
However, because the body of the elderly is not an activity of their prime, sexual love also needs to be noted.
The best posture is to be in a lateral position to reduce pressure on the intervertebral disc and lumbar spine. Maintain a relaxed and happy mood, always maintain communication, and avoid the sudden onset of other physical illnesses caused by excessive emotions.
