Sexual disorders

Continuing to have sexual relations is a good way of maintaining your physical and psychological well-being. And seniors have as much right to affection, love, self-esteem, human warmth and other bodily pleasures as younger people.

However, over time, your responses may slow down. This is a normal part of ageing. Even if you notice that sexual behaviour changes, you just need to accept these changes and do a few little things to adapt to your physical condition.

Lasting physical changes

Erectile dysfunction in men

The decrease in testosterone production in ageing men can affect erectile function, ejaculation and libido.

• they do not get an erection as quickly;
• the volume of sperm decreases;
• sperm is ejaculated less quickly;
• ejaculation takes longer;
• the period between 2 ejaculations is longer;
• the penis is less sensitive to touch;
• orgasms can be less intense, etc.

In the face of sexual problems, medicine has come a long way and offers a response in the form of erection inducers.

However, the use of these medicines can be dangerous for your health. Always consult a doctor before use and do not buy this type of medicine online.

Libido problems in women

For women, menopause sometimes leads to vaginal dryness. This change can have repercussions on a couple's sexual harmony by causing pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).

Using a simple lubricant during sex can be one solution. Sometimes, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is recommended. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor about it.
