Keep the fire alive! Expert tips for seniors to maintain a sizzling bedroom life

A sensational life between the sheets isn't just for the young - seniors can have a steamy love life, too! At the Seniors Discount Club, we believe life's greatest pleasures can and should be enjoyed well into our golden years. In our two-and-a-half years of existence, we’ve published a lot of content on a range of topics, but one topic that we have barely broached is the sex life of older Australians, and through research conducted online by our team, we’ve found that we are indeed not alone. There are very few websites out there that talk about sex when you’re over sixty, and we want to break that stigma.

Now, we know talking about sex isn’t for everyone. So, if this type of content just isn’t for you, in every newsletter, if we write about expert tips and tricks to help seniors keep their love lives sizzling, we will, of course, give a warning so you don’t click and read an article if it’s not in line with your values! So take this as your final warning, members. If you don’t want to read about sex, I recommend reading some other content we’ve produced this week. There’s a bunch of fascinating lifestyle content out at the moment, so why don’t you head over to our lifestyle forum here?

Now, let’s dive into it, shall we? Rediscovering intimacy is essential for maintaining happiness and connection between two people. So, it's no wonder that a whopping 76% of adults aged 65 to 80 consider romantic relationships and sex an essential part of their lives, according to the National Poll on Healthy Ageing.


Please note, members: The above national poll is actually an American one because, funnily enough, we couldn’t find ANY up-to-date surveys on the sex life of Australians over sixty… The most updated content on sex in your senior years was an article about ‘Getting on and still getting it on: a guide to older singles, dating and sex’ by The Sydney Morning Herald in 2015. So I guess, all the more reason I should be writing this.

I know you folks will agree that with age comes wisdom, and seniors boast a wealth of experience to draw on in their everyday lives, but perhaps, their bedroom lives are a little less golden and maybe a little more olden than they’d like them to be. So below, I’m going to explore some essential factors in maintaining a healthy, exciting sex life into your 60s, 70s and beyond.

Embracing physical changes and overcoming challenges


Our bodies naturally undergo various changes as we age, and our health is likely to encounter a few bumps along the road. However, it's crucial to remember that many physical issues can be managed or even conquered to ensure satisfying intimate relationships.

For both men and women, a decline in hormone levels, reduced stamina, and other health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease can impact their intimate lives. But fear not! By staying in regular communication with your doctor, getting recommendations for medication or supplements, and following a healthy lifestyle with a well-balanced diet and exercise, you can work to overcome these challenges.

For men, supplements like vitamin D, red ginseng, l-arginine, and l-carnitine are great natural supplements for erectile dysfunction symptoms. However, as with everything, we recommend talking to a doctor before stocking up.

As for women, there are so many different kinds of lubricants on the market to help with the hormonal changes you have experienced and the difficulty that comes with natural lubrication. It’s best to avoid all the fancy lubricants (unless they are what you prefer!) and stick to more organic, natural lubricants. You can find these at Chemist Warehouse and even Coles for under $15.


It’s true, couples that communicate can conquer (the bedroom)

An open, honest, and playful approach to communication is the cornerstone of any successful relationship. Discuss your concerns, anxieties, desires, and boundaries with your sexual partner, making sure to listen with understanding and without judgement.

Sex doesn’t have to be serious. You can laugh together and make communication an ongoing, enjoyable aspect of your relationship. After all, it’s one of the most natural things humans are made to do, and just because you’re a little older doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy reaching the finish line (if you know what I mean).

Spice it up: Variety is the spice of life


We've all heard the saying, 'familiarity breeds contempt,' and the same can be true for the bedroom! Keep things fresh by changing your routine, trying new sexual positions or locations, experimenting with role-playing, or exploring other forms of physical touch and pleasure.

There is so much information out there about the best sexual positions for someone who is ageing, so don’t be afraid to do some research, and if this article goes well, and you’d like to hear more, I will write a lot more about what the experts recommend when it comes to well, positioning yourself, and making sure no-one gets injured.

Safety first

Now, as I said above that there is very little content out there that speaks about the sex life of Australians over sixty, the exception to that is a recently published study that revealed cases of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and syphilis are increasing among older women in Australia at a faster rate than among younger women. According to Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, ‘The issues are that many older women don’t see themselves at risk of STIs… They also probably missed out on the safer sex messages of the ‘80s and ‘90s because they might have been in long-term relationships at the time.’


Sex may be wonderful for your health, but ensuring the well-being of yourself and your partner is at the heart of a truly fulfilling intimacy. Be sure to always practise safe sex, use protection, engage in regular check-ups, and of course, stay honest with your partner and your doctor. I promise condoms have come a long way, and there are surprisingly some fun ones out there, members.

One thing I loved when reading through the Jean Hailes for Women’s Health website when they were discussing the increase in STIs in older women, was this:

‘Instead of moving into an asexual [the experience of no sexual feelings or desires] old age – as society has always assumed older people would do – these women have carried the sexual freedom from their youth into middle and older age.’

‘When you add divorce, death of a partner, online dating as well as erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra into the mix, today’s older women find themselves living in an entirely new sexual landscape to that of their mothers or grandmothers.’



So, folks, there’s no doubt times have changed. If you aren’t having monogamous sex with a single partner and instead are engaging in a more casual sex setting, it is crucial to practice safe sex.

Our golden years should be a time to cherish and enjoy all aspects of life, including the bond that comes with a passionate and intimate connection. So, members, keep that fire burning - you've earned it!

If you enjoyed or strongly disliked reading this article, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments below. Perhaps there’s a reason this topic isn’t written about often; we were just hoping we could break the stigma.

If we do get some positive feedback, then keep your eyes peeled as we dive into more in-depth discussions of these tips because there is so much more we could all learn about maintaining a sizzling and satisfying relationship well into our senior years!

I strongly believe as we get older we still enjoy sexual life, but for some we don't have partners, I would love to meet someone even at my age but it is hard to find that speacial someone
 
Sadly, after hubby had radiotherapy & brachytherapy for prostate cancer things went downhill from there. Added to that a catheter in hospital that was pulled out (ouch) by a trainee nurse without deflating it has damaged the nerves at the end of his penis. He doesn't get the brain signals for sex anymore and it has to be me asking to even make him aware that we should try other things. Viagra doesn't help at all and any suggestions would be welcome.
 
Love this. We are not past it. It just takes all night to do what we used to do all night

I spent most of my time on this planet on my own raising a total of 4 kids after two divorces. The first was after 11 years of marriage when I was 34 and the second after 2 years when I was 46. I was too badly damaged emotionally after the second divorce that any thoughts of finding a man never went beyond a thought for the next 24 years.

When I turned 70 I decided that if I would ever have a man in my life again, I would have to give it a try. Like everybody else does, I went online to a dating site for seniors and within a couple of weeks I found my soulmate. That was six years ago in January 2017.

We don't live together as I need to sell my house first, but we spend almost all of our time together and we have a fantastic sex life.

We was worth the long wait!

Great article well done look forward to more nothing to be ashamed at natural health care and loving 👍
 
Great article and would be great to have a thread on this and for those that don't like the topic they can stay clear.

My hubby and I had an amazing love life and I have to say it got better with age.

Our 40s and 50s were the best . I wished I knew in my 20s what I did in my 40s .

We had intimate sex, afternoon delight sex and spontaneous sex.

Tried every position possible and the most important thing it wasn't just sex but making love.
I think it went to another level when our kids grew up and were not home as much.

Sadly over the last 3 years our sex life has gone down due mainly to my illness.

A book I read back to front years ago was Sutra karmen and this taught me alot .

I also talked to hubby to see what he liked and visa versa.

He loved spontaneous eg when he would be in the shower and I would join him , not planned.

I would play games . I remember one time we were at the movies and I told him to look in his jacket pocket... he found my panties 😏 it was things like this that kept fire going .
What a lovely description of your relationship. It was the little things, the silly moments and the crazy too that was the spice of our life together too.
 
A great topic and a good start to the subject.
I would like explicit information regarding reaching a climax in older age. Please not just the usual reasons such as diet, nutrition, weight, communication and medications, - but what actually triggers a climax for older women? (and younger)??.

Become irresistible to women. Listen to them! Be affectionate. Be kind. Don't be petty. Be adventurous and attentive. Talk, talk and talk some more. Laughing and loving together...yes! Be enthusiastic about LIFE.....wring every minute out of every day. Let your needs be known too. Silent types are as boring as B#$%^!

So true. I have been on my own some 30 years for this very reason.
 
Hi Members!

Thank you so much for all the truly incredible feedback. I was very nervous writing about this topic seeing there wasn't much information online about it, it really felt like a 'taboo' topic and I was unsure whether I was doing the wrong thing.

All of your comments have made me realise that what IS wrong is that this topic is put aside, treated as taboo, and makes a lot of you feel like you shouldn't be able to enjoy sex in your golden years which is completely untrue.

Please know, I will absolutely be doing some more research and am committed to publishing even more about this topic. I think I will create a separate forum where each of you can engage and discuss this topic without having to worry about members who are not interested :)

I have taken note of a lot of your suggestions and will write about each of them. I think I might start with sex during and after sickness, seeing that has been a common topic here and I've never read anything about it myself? I'll get researching and hopefully chatting to some doctors about that one!

Thank you so much again for taking the time to offer feedback - I cannot explain how helpful this is to the team and I!

We are so lucky to have such an incredible community.

Thank you, and you'll hear more from me soon!
Maddie.
 
I have not had sexual for some years now I have been hurt too many times and I just do not trust women add to it the current pronoun woke attitudes I ask why I should I bother. I have had accusations by older women that it is always about sex and I have not even brought it up. I was a very dedicated sexual partner with the women in my life , only been married once with three lovely children but have been divorced for many years, I think that too many women these days want to be men rather than the beautiful females they are meant to be . Please do not use my name .
I would love nothing more than to have a sexual partner but I have tried a few sites and have been ripped off financially and emotionally.

Yes I would like more info.
Thanks for caring about my emotional health withinfo about sex.
I agree I also been hurt by men, and using dating sites is a waste of money,, ripped off also,
I am ready to meet someone ,leave it to the universe, if you like to chat please feel free to contact me,
