How do menopausal women seek sexual passion? Traditional ideas hold that the deterioration of physiological function and the fading of freshness of sexual life will make people's' sexual interest 'decline with age. In fact, this is against the objective facts. Menopausal women still need reasonable sex life.
Intimacy and sex are still an important part of the lives of many middle-aged people, according to a new survey released by AARP. David Thatcher, former director of the U.S. Department of health, pointed out that although we are getting older, sex is still important to our overall health.
Middle aged people still have strong sexual needs
Shakespeare once said: "love can double the effect of every organ.". According to the researcher's investigation, middle-aged people still have strong physiological needs for sex. Among the middle-aged people surveyed by AARP, 86% said that in the past six months, they have had kisses, hugs (69%), caresses (53%), sexual behaviors (36%), masturbation (20%), and other sexual behaviors (14%).
Half said they had thoughts, fantasies or sex dreams at least once a week, and nearly a quarter said they had them at least once a day.
Middle aged people are also psychologically eager for sex. The survey shows that more and more middle-aged people turn to professionals to improve their sexual health, because at least 60% of them think that sex is an important part of a good partnership; 49% think that sex is important for their overall quality of life; 84% of middle-aged people don't think that sex should be enjoyed exclusively by young people.
Researchers in the United States believe that this understanding of middle-aged people is encouraging. Passionate sex can not only become the adjustment of middle-aged life, improve the relationship between husband and wife, but also prevent the atrophy and degeneration of sexual organs and gonads, regulate the brain nervous system, enhance the adaptability of the body, and maintain the balance of physiological functions.
Health affects the quality of sexual life in middle age
For middle-aged people, hypertension, high cholesterol, arthritis and other chronic diseases are common diseases. In the AARP survey, there is a phenomenon worthy of attention, that is, many middle-aged people believe that 'better health' has the greatest impact on their sex life, ranking before 'better partnership', 'a risk-taking or young partner', 'more free time and more privacy'.
People can't resist physiological changes, but psychological changes can be adjusted. It is found that psychological factors often have more influence on middle-aged people's health than physiological factors: when people are happy and relaxed, their internal organs function is stable and harmonious; when they are negative and depressed, their physiological activities will be abnormal, and even lead to diseases. Therefore, middle-aged people to maintain an optimistic and happy mood, open mind, maintain good interpersonal relations, can promote physical health, so as to maintain a positive, moderate sex life.
Middle age sex can be more satisfying
The survey also found that in real life, middle-aged couples have many problems in their sex life. Before and after menopause, the couple's sex life is changing quietly. Because they don't succeed in sex once or twice, they will immediately think that they are old and can't do it, and then they have a fear of sex. Many middle-aged people are influenced by traditional ideas, and they sleep in separate beds early, ending their sex life and thinking that they are a way to live a long life.
There is no sexual life, the excitement of sexual organs has no place to vent, can cause local congestion below lumbosacral, is one of the reasons for many middle-aged people with backache. Abstinence for a long time may also cause endocrine disorder and destroy physiological balance.
Long term absence of sex is not conducive to emotional communication between middle-aged couples, nor to enhancing their self-confidence and passion for life. Previous studies have shown that the elderly with a spouse live longer than those without a spouse, and those with sexual harmony live longer than those without sex or sexual disharmony.
In fact, although the frequency of sexual intercourse between middle-aged couples has decreased, the technical level of sexual intercourse has also improved compared with that of young couples. In addition, middle-aged people are more mature psychologically, and the expression of sexual love is more considerate, deeper and gentler, which can also make both sides feel more satisfied. Therefore, American experts suggest that middle age is the golden age of sex.
In view of their own physical changes, middle-aged couples should make some new attempts to have sex, so as to increase new experiences and better improve the quality of sexual life. In addition, don't regard the couple's sexual activities as only sexual intercourse. Cuddling, caressing and kissing are also necessary for people's psychology and physiology.
