Sexual Wellness for Women Over 60

Understanding Sexual Changes in Later Life

As we age, our bodies change. For women over 60, these changes can affect how we feel about sex. But don't worry - it's normal and doesn't mean your sex life is over!

Here are some common changes:

• Vaginal dryness (don't worry, there are solutions!)
• Less desire for sex (but it can come back)
• Taking longer to get aroused (more time for fun!)
• Changes in how orgasms feel

These changes don't happen to everyone the same way. They don't have to stop you from enjoying sex and intimacy. It's just part of getting older, and there are ways to deal with it.

The Benefits of Staying Sexually Active

Keeping up a healthy sex life as you get older has some great benefits:

• Better mood and less stress
• Stronger bones and muscles
• Better sleep
• Closer bond with your partner
• Boost in self-esteem

Plus, it's fun! Sex and intimacy can bring joy to your life at any age. Research shows that an active sex life can help you feel better overall and even live longer. It's not just about physical pleasure - it's about feeling close to someone and feeling good about yourself.

Overcoming Challenges to Sexual Wellness

Feeling nervous about sex as you get older? You're not alone. Here are some common worries and how to deal with them:

• Health issues: Talk to your doctor about how to stay safe and comfortable during sex
• Body image concerns: Focus on how your body feels, not just how it looks
• Lack of a partner: Explore self-pleasure or consider dating if you're interested
• Communication troubles: Practice talking openly with your partner about your needs and desires

It's okay to ask for help. Sex therapists and doctors can give great advice for staying sexually healthy as you age. Many women find that dealing with these issues head-on leads to better sex as they get older.
