In middle age
He was 60 years, sexuality continues to play an important role in life, despite the lack of opportunities for exercise and marginalization suffered by the elderly in society. If everything concerning human sexuality is largely influenced by a number of myths, they are especially made in our society when we refer to the elderly and their sex life.
The philosopher M. Huhn even has listed:
Myths about sexuality in the elderly (M. Kuhn)
- The sex is not important in the elderly, it is assumed that the last years of life are asexual. - The interest in sex is a fact abnormal in older people.
- The old have no physiological capacity to enable them to have sexual behaviors.
- Sexuality is weakened in menopause and disappears in the elderly.
- Sexuality is to be productive.
- It may be acceptable to the couple man and young woman is ridiculous but the couple of an older woman and a young man. Against this, research shows that while retaining a healthy state there is no reason for the interest and sexual practices are gone. It is therefore important to locate the sex lives of older persons within their psychological and behavioral context. In this way, it appears that the manner of exercise of sexuality in old age is determined by the attitude that the subject has been before the sex throughout his life. Those who live their sexuality in the wrong stage of maturity are the people who have been confined to a juvenile or adolescent, the amorous and sexual relationship. While retaining a healthy state there is no reason for the interest and sexual practices disappear Sexuality at maturity offers experienced the richness of having deepened in all aspects and possibilities of love charm.
They are known even in the smallest details, and the couple themselves, everyone has an experience of the body of another, he knows exactly how to give pleasure. Just a gesture, a glance, a smile to trigger the magic that brings the most joy. The misinformation and the belief that the practice of sexuality is unique to the young population and disappearing in the elderly (asexual the largest) have a significant bearing on the sexual conduct of persons mature. Other factors also make it difficult pursuing a good sexuality are lack of sex, prior sexual history, the economic and social difficulties, and physical conditions, not underestimate the factors of attitudes and personal beliefs.
However, medical advances and longer life expectancy, together with the introduction of the belief that sexuality and emotions are innate in the person and only need to end with the death, confirmed that neither the interest nor sexual activity disappear in the elderly. Yes it is true that sexuality is transformed with age, but according to studies, over 85% of people aged over 60 enjoy their sexual activities. The problems of living sexuality in middle age.
The most common problems that are limiting or preventing and complete development of the sex lives of the people are ripe:
- Lack of partners: the majority of people 75 years or older are widows or widowers.
- Lack of privacy: Most live in dormitories or with relatives.
- The limitation of their autonomy.
- The dependence of the environment.
- The difficulty physical to sexual intercourse. The changes that occur in relation to the age sex there are no answers why seeing them from a negative perspective and without solution With age there are changes in the general human sexual response, but not all have to be considered negative and no solution. What happens is that misinformation and ignorance about sexuality are more common than is believed. And not just at this stage of life, but where is it becomes necessary to change attitudes and to rescue the goodness of the sexuality of older and claimed as a right that improves quality of life. To do this, we must foster a series of transformations in social and personal.
From the social perspective is necessary:
- Convert Banish the myth that sexuality in middle age as something non-existent, impossible or reprehensible.
- Accept some positive attitudes that lead to see sexuality as something inherent to human beings.
- Encourage professionals and institutions to develop specific programs, public and private agencies to address the sexuality of the elderly. From an individual to assume that there are changes to the physical and psychological level, but we must transform the experience of sexuality. The ways of doing so are:
- Primar quality to quantity.
- Assess the extent and variability of expression beyond sexual intercourse.
- Make goals or less emphasis on results and give more importance to the pleasure, fondling and sensations.
- Use proper stimuli, and often the practice that each situation requires.
- Convinced that there must be shut down your desire to live and that can be enjoyed with the same enthusiasm as before.
- Claiming the clitoris as an important component for arousal and orgasm.
- Know that improved control of squirting old man allows a more prolonged, before orgasm, which can enhance the pleasure of women.
- Knowing that the old man needs a more direct contact to genital arousal or orgasm.
