Sex can be a strong emotional experience and a fantastic opportunity for health security or change, and it's definitely not just for the young. It is ageless, the need for intimacy. And studies now show that you can enjoy sex for as long as you want, no matter what your gender. Naturally, sex at 70 or 80 might not be like at 20 or 30, but it may be better in certain respects.
You may feel smarter than you were in your earlier years as an older adult, and know what works for you better when it comes to your sex life. Older people also have a lot more self-confidence and self-awareness, and feel free from youth's unrealistic expectations and other people's biases. And with grown children and less stressful jobs, couples are better able to relax and enjoy each other without the old distractions.
However, many adults worry about sex in their later years for a variety of reasons, and end up turning away from sexual experiences. Some older adults, either by their aging bodies or by their success, feel ashamed, while others are affected by a partner's illness or loss.
A temporary circumstance may turn into a permanent one without reliable information and an open mind. By being proactive, you will stop making this happen. It's important to be willing to try new stuff, and to ask for professional support if necessary, whether you're trying to restart or change your sex life. To prepare for the normal changes that come with age, there is nothing you can do. Your later years can be an enjoyable time to explore both the emotional and sensual dimensions of your sexuality, with sufficient knowledge and help.
