Senior citizens are increasingly enjoying sex into their 80s…
But just what happens with age that sex goes out of the window? The reasons are many ranging from lack of or lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, problems with early orgasm or never reaching climax, pain during sex, lack of pleasure, and not to mention performance anxiety. But urinary tract infection seems to be the biggest culprit in keeping men and women from enjoying a healthy sex life, with women being more prone to the ailment and other STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).
The key to most things in life is good health, irrespective of age. There are a lot of 80-somethings who are actually healthier that people in their 60s. Sex lives of people can vary greatly, depending on the physical and mental well being of an individual. Factors such as weight and habits like smoking and/or drinking, physical condition and medication can greatly hamper a person’s sex life. Kothari agrees, “Yes, elderly people do have their problems but sex is something which overrules all these problems”.
Gone are the days when having grown-up children would’ve meant that sex should go out of a couple’s life. Says Kothari, “Sex has no expiry date. I have had people between the age of 85-90 coming to me for help regarding sex. If they were active, they wanted to be more active and if they had some problem, they wanted to resolve it.” The modern day grandpas and grandmas sure seem to be, well, living it up and spicing up their last remaining years. The common belief that sex will eventually fizzle out of one’s life as they age is perhaps the root cause of people keeping off from enjoying sex in their later years. If, however, one is in a good physical condition and has the drive, the times we are usually conditioned to associate with disease and handicap can become a time to relive the ‘wonder’ful years and reap the fruit of love’s labour…
