Although the physiological functions of the elderly gradually decline with age, they still have certain needs in terms of marital life.

According to a survey, the frequency of sexual activity and sexual ability of elderly people are lower than those of young people, and as they age, the erectile function of male friends will gradually decrease, while female friends will have weaker sexual function after menopause. But this does not mean that elderly people no longer have desires. As they age, all aspects of their physical functions will gradually decline, which is also a normal phenomenon.

But for elderly couples, if they want to maintain a healthy sexual state, they need to pay more attention to some things in life.

Especially the following 5 things should not be taken lightly

1. Control frequency

For elderly couples, the frequency of living as a couple is also important, and it is not necessarily better to have more or fewer times. Both too much and too little can have adverse effects on their physical health.

Especially for elderly men, if sexual life is too frequent, it is easy to cause prostate disease. For female friends, if sexual life is too frequent, it will cause genital inflammation, such as Vaginitis.

Therefore, in order to ensure the physical health and quality of sexual life of both spouses, elderly couples must pay attention to controlling frequency in their marital life. Generally speaking, having sex once a week is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

2. Maintain good hygiene

For elderly couples, it is important to pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity. Due to the gradual decline in various bodily functions of elderly couples, their immunity and resistance are much lower than those of young people, and the poor skin condition of the elderly, they are more prone to infections during sexual activity, leading to some gynecological diseases.

Therefore, elderly people must pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity, and if they do not want to develop infections, they must clean their bodies in advance. In addition, elderly couples should also pay attention to taking contraceptive measures during their marital life to prevent accidental pregnancy.

3. Control time

When elderly couples engage in sexual activity, it is important to control their time, as this not only meets the physiological needs of the elderly couple, but also reduces their physical burden.

Because the various bodily functions of the elderly are already declining, and there are also some basic diseases. If couples live too frequently, it can easily lead to symptoms such as physical exhaustion, palpitations, dizziness, and in severe cases, it can also affect the health of both parties.

In addition, if sexual activity is too frequent, it can also lead to congestion in the sexual organs, leading to various diseases. So, elderly couples must control their time during their marital life, and the entire process should preferably not exceed 20 minutes.

4. Choose the appropriate posture

For elderly people, due to decreased physical function, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of posture during marital life. When engaging in marital life, the first thing to do is to choose the appropriate posture. If the position of Woman on top is adopted, the buttocks of the woman need to be raised, so that the man can enter the vagina smoothly;

In addition, elderly people should also pay attention to not using too intense movements during their marital life to avoid damaging their bodies due to excessive movements. For some elderly people with chronic diseases, it is important to avoid excessive movement during marital life to prevent disease outbreaks.

In addition, elderly people should also pay attention to body position changes when engaging in marital life, to avoid prolonged use of the same position that may lead to physical fatigue.

5. Pay attention to rest

Although the physical functions of the elderly have deteriorated, their psychological state has not decreased, and they still have a certain degree of sexual desire. Moreover, due to their older age, many elderly couples also choose to live together at night.

But if you are feeling unwell at this time, you should take a break for a while and wait until you are better before engaging in marital life. Otherwise, not only will it affect the quality of sexual life, but it may also lead to physical discomfort.
