Making sex after 50 the best ever
When you think the most influential people who have helped Americans have better sex lives Dr. Ruth Westheimer has to be near the top of the list. In an online chat at WebMD.com Dr. Ruth Talks About Sex After 50, Dr. Ruth talks about making sex after 50 better than ever:
“It’s very important to bury the idea that older people don’t have sex. They need to be touched, they need to be caressed, and they must keep that interest in sex alive even if the actual orgasmic response is less intense. A couple can be sexually active until late in life.”
What are the most important things for people after 50 to do to keep an active sex life?
“Don’t ignore your sex life — cultivate it, make sure your libido is in good shape. Don’t let your sex life become boring or routine. Rejoice that the children are out of the house, that you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant! Rejoice that information about good sex after 50 is available. Be happy that we in this country have the best scientifically validated data about sexual functioning that has ever been available. So let’s use it!”
Do you have any specific tips to get the fun back into the bedroom?
Yes. Try these:
- A little bit of red wine — not too much.
- Read Dr. Ruth’s Sex After 50.
- Kick boredom out of your bedroom.
- Watch some sexually explicit movies.
- Go for a walk.
- Do something you have never done before.
- Pull your car into a lover’s lane; watch that no police are coming.
- Use your fantasy.
Good luck!
