One of the myths of ageing is that it is impossible to have a satisfying and enjoyable sex life after the age of 60. Research shows that you can enjoy sex to the fullest, regardless of gender. Of course, sex after 65 may be different from sex after 20, but it may be better. As well as happiness, maintaining a healthy sex life is also good for other aspects of life, including physical health and self-esteem.

According to a national survey on sexual health and behaviour, the most common sexual activities for people over 65 are kissing, caressing and vaginal penetration. In contrast, masturbation and oral sex were less commonly practised. Physical deterioration, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes often lead not only to a significant decrease in sexual desire but also to a significant decrease in erectile capacity.

The following are some tips to overcome difficulties so that you can enjoy an active sex life.

Play: Realistic sex dolls are essential for sex at any age. You can discuss new ideas and try new things with your partner. There are many products and boutiques where you can find the one that best suits your needs. If you are a female then you can choose a male love doll, if you are a male then choose a female love doll, they can be very helpful for our sex life.

Lubrication and moisturisation: another feature is the reduction of oestrogen production in post-menopausal women, which can promote vaginal dryness. In addition, as a woman ages, her vaginal walls become thinner and harder. Try using a lubricant during sexual activity. If this is not enough, you can also use a moisturiser (choose a water-based, unscented product).

Talk to your partner: It's important to talk freely about sex with your partner. Find a time and a neutral place to talk about the goals that make you and you both enjoy your sex life. Lack of desire is usually associated with relationship problems.

Be honest with your partner. Honesty can be relaxing for both partners and is very attractive. Tell your partner how you feel and what you want out of sex.

Take time: Take time to relax your partner before getting close, for example, by taking a hot bath or trying a massage. Or try to establish a connection by first making extensive contact or kissing.

Discover: Whatever your age, it is advisable to explore your body, learn about sensual zones and have fun sex with each other.

Don't give up on your sexual health just because the situation is different. Talk to your partner to find out what makes both of you happy.
