Elder's sexuality is a vital topic. The golden age is the period between 65 and more. Let’s explore elderly sexuality. Here are some physical, psychological, social and sexual characteristics of seniors: * Following the progress of medicine, the number of elders is increasing. That number varies between countries, peoples and cultures. * Generally, life expectancy of women is higher than that of men. 85 years for women and 80 years for men. These averages apply to industrialized countries. But again, these averages vary depending on countries, time, peoples and cultures. Widowhood rate is highest for this age group. * Elderly people are more vulnerable to psychological and physical diseases. Neuroses, affective disorders, Alzheimer's, Down's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, etc. This might affect senior sexuality, because senior health and sexuality are linked. Aging and emotional health are also linked. * The intellectual and physical functions of seniors are less efficient than those of younger people. Memorization, problem solving, physical exercises, reflex speed, etc., decline gradually over time. Elder-sexuality might also affected by these facts. * As they get older, their senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) lose their power and precision. Those lost affect elder-sexuality. * Let’s say it again: "Climacteric is the period of life that marks the end of reproductive capacity in adulthood. Climacteric happens faster in women. This is menopause, with its traditional hot flashes (hot flushes, night sweats), which usually occurs around 50 years. But climacteric is gradual in humans. A man can reproduce himself up to age 80; to a certain extent." Menopause sexuality mainly focuses on pleasure. * The sexuality of elder persons loses some of its possibilities. The lack of desire and sexual frigidity threaten women. But the lack of desire and sexual impotence threaten men. To complement this topic on elder-sexuality, read section: What is the lack of sexual desire? (page: Sexuality, Adult's sexuality). Read the whole web page: Adult's sexuality, to see how to overcome the above issues. Premature ejaculation is rare. No doubt the time... For both genders, sexual activity declines. Elderly and sexuality: For a senior woman Genital lubrication decreases. The opening of the vagina is narrowed. Vaginal walls are atrophied. The clitoris, however, retains all its capabilities (reception and transmission of excitations). The length and diameter of the vagina decrease. Orgasm is rarer, shorter and less intense. These change affect elder-sexuality. But older womens sexuality can be revived with the help of all judicious advices we provide in this website. Please read the section: What is frigidity?; see our web page: Adult's sexuality (top of the page). Elderly and sexuality: For a senior man A longer time is needed to achieve erection. And when this erection is achieved, it is rarely complete (strong, firm, solid). In addition, their erections do not last long. They take more time to ejaculate, and that ejaculation is less intense. The orgasm is shorter, less intense. After an ejaculation, the penis returns more quickly to its flaccid state. The refractory period lengthens, as they take more time to achieve a second erection. This is an important fact regarding sexuality among the elderly. What we said previously on sexual impotence, can be repeated here. Read the section above: What is sexual impotence?

Some drugs may have negative effects on sexuality. Antihypertensives drugs may reduce libido (sexual pleasure, sexual energy, sex drive, love in the widest sense); may impair erection, ejaculation and reduce the intensity of orgasm. Please note that all this listing may affect elder-sexuality, but also the sexuality of younger people. Anticholinergics agents may cause impotence. Antihistamines may reduce libido (sex drive, sexual pleasure, sexual energy, love in the widest sense) and impair erection. Do not take antihistamines with alcohol, because they may cause dizziness and depression. Do not take antihistamines with antidepressants, because they may increase the effect of antihistamines and cause dizziness. Do not take antihistamines with sedatives, because they may increase the effect of sedatives and reduce the effect of antihistamines. Antipsychotic products may decrease libido, impair erection, affect ejaculation and alter hormones.

Hormones (estrogen) may reduce libido (sexual pleasure, sex drive, sexual energy, love in the widest sense). Physical factors but mostly psychological factors, can affect elder-sexuality, women and men’s sexuality: physical fatigue, physical injuries, emotional injuries, neuroses, stress, worries, fear of failure, mental depression, and so on. Monotony and sexual routine may also affect women and men’s sexuality; and of course, the lack of love and affection. Since love and affection are also powerful aphrodisiacs. Sexuality and depression are sometime linked. See the section • Overcoming depression; see: Emotional Health (feelings, emotions, sentiments) Cardiovascular diseases, cancers, joint diseases, diabetes, depressions, mental illnesses, surgeries (mastectomy, hysterectomy, prostatectomy, etc.), may alter elder-sexuality, women and men sexuality.

Sexual activity is another way to show affection. Women and men need sexual life, in order to keep a physical, emotional and emotionally balance. But they also need physical contact (holding hands, touching, kissing, tender conversations, etc.). These are also concrete proofs of love. The individual attention that women and men relate to each other is also a testimony of love. Such individual attention can overcome frigidity, sexual impotence, lack of orgasm, premature ejaculation, lack of sexual desire (sex drive), etc. that also affect elder-sexuality. Individual attention can be manifested by: spending time together, playing together, etc. But it can also be manifested with words and tender gestures, jokes, smiles, laughters, appreciations, congratulations, gifts, a thank you, an interest in what the partner is doing and thinking, an interest in how the partner is living, etc. The individual attention should be directed mainly towards moral values and virtues. At our page: Health, read the section: Here is the list of 9 virtues. See: Health of the soul Generally, natural affection, loyalty, satisfaction and marital relations characterize this age. At that age, family and friends network plays an important role. This network is larger for women. Good human relations (interpersonal relations help maintain a healthy and fulfilling sexual life. A good social support is also an important asset regarding elder-sexuality. See: Human-relations. As they age, people gain experience, wisdom, serenity, etc. This helps flourish their sexuality. There are differences between elder people; each with its past, present and future; each with its culture, education, body image, identity, self-esteem; each with its way to communicate tenderness, love and friendship (in every people, culture, race...); this originality enriches elder-sexuality. As before, at the Dawn of time, during the Golden age, sexual life connects us to someone and to ourselves. Sexual life also links every creature to Him. But in any event, beyond the reproduction of the species, the sexuality of elders plays an important role in the development of their body, soul, mind (mental, intelligence), emotions; plays an important role in their financial situation and human relations. A flourished sexuality also helps to better understand and take advantage of politics, economy and religion. This is the wonderful reality that the Institute of Human Cultivation teaches.
