Do you and your friends often suffer from this: sex has become a chore you don’t want to do, or you refuse to have sex because of painful intercourse? For many women over the age of 50, these situations are very common. Especially after menopause, you will face more and more obstacles that affect your sex life, including vaginal dryness, vaginal stenosis, diabetes, excessive obesity, etc. Margery Gass, a physician specializing in women’s health at the Cleveland Clinic, recommends these 7 tips to help you enjoy an active sex life over the age of 50 and get back to the 80s. 1, practice, practice, and practice again Sexuality is very similar to physical exercise. If you want to stay in shape, you have to keep exercising. Similarly, without a regular sex life, your vagina will gradually become narrow. So to maintain the function of your vagina, then stick to sex. 2. Keep it lubricated and moist If you usually have painful intercourse, try using lubricant during sexual activities. If that’s not enough, you can add moisturizer. Of course there is a difference between these two products, lubricants are only used for intercourse, while moisturizers are like moisturizers for the rest of your body skin. If you have vaginal dryness, you can use it regularly. 3. Don’t be shy and seek professional help Some women may feel embarrassed to discuss sexual issues with medical professionals, but remember that it is very common to have problems with your sex life. Don’t hesitate to seek help from professionals. For example, postmenopausal women who are using lubricants and moisturizers to no avail may be advised by their clinician to use certain medications (such as low-dose vaginal estrogen); if estrogen is also ineffective, continue to discuss possible causes with your doctor. 4. Counseling to help you Ask yourself honestly what things in your life or interpersonal relationships make you avoid intimacy between men and women. Lack of desire is often related to relationships between couples and tends to affect women more than men. If you can’t find a solution on your own, a psychotherapist may be able to help you and your partner. 5, communicate more with your partner Talking about sex with your partner is as challenging as discussing other issues between couples. Try (or talk) more about communicating from an “I” perspective, rather than emphasizing “your” problems and “your” faults. Choose a suitable time and place, and your lover to talk about how you can both fully enjoy sexual pleasure. 6, exercise, walk more people in mid-life, when your beautiful body far away, you will feel your attractiveness in decline or you think others believe you charm no longer. In some middle-aged women, it seems that losing weight is a very difficult thing. Quite the contrary, if you get out and exercise regularly, you will get to know yourself better even if you can’t lose weight. Here is the most recommended exercise for women over 50 – brisk walking. 7, try new things in life, personal physical conditions often make sexual behavior restrained. It’s a good idea to try new things, such as different sexual positions, or using touch, different lubricants, sex toys instead of intercourse. If you don’t like something, it’s okay to communicate with your partner and find something you can both accept and are willing to try.
