Senior sex isn't the same as it was in your 20s — but it can still be satisfying. Contrary to common myths about sexuality and older adults, sexual interest is not just for the young. Many seniors continue to enjoy their sexuality into their 80s and beyond. A healthy sex life is not only fulfilling, but it's also good for other aspects of your life, including your physical health and self-esteem. As men age, testosterone levels decline and changes in sexual function are common. These physiological changes can include:
A need for more stimulation to achieve and maintain an erection and orgasm, shorter orgasms, less forceful ejaculation and less semen ejaculated, and a longer time needed to achieve another erection after ejaculation.
