Sexually Active Seniors: How Old is Too Old?

Hugh Hefner, the sexually active Playboy senior, manages to paint a very rosy picture of sex in the twilight years of life. Yet, this picture of sexually happy senior people is generally very misleading. This is not because seniors are too old to have sex. No, seniors can have sex until the day they die, even if they die well after completing a century. There is no limit on the number of years a person can have sex.

Yet, you will find very few, if any, seniors having sex. And it is hard to tell if this sorry state of affairs will ever improve. There are two main reasons for this lack in sexual activity in seniors. You can choose to blame the society for ostracizing seniors who have sex, or you can blame all the false impressions the seniors themselves have about sex at their age.

How is the society to blame? It’s simple really. You must have heard all those jokes and references about ‘that dirty old man’. This is a great example of how sexual activity in seniors is taboo. Even if seniors entertain any sexual thoughts, eyebrows are raised. They are then discouraged by family members and it almost becomes a sin to even think about sex. Yet, they are human and it is not wrong to think about sex at their age, or any age. This is the case in most senior homes as well, where the elderly are denied privacy and sex is just out of the question.

The fear of grave harm is what causes many other seniors to stop before having sex, or even masturbating. They live in constant fears of heart attacks and other medical conditions like strokes all the time. They feel that if they have sex, they may become susceptible to facing death.

Also, in women, after the age of menopause, the level of sexual activity decreases greatly. This is because there are chances that the vaginal wall has become a little less sturdy and thinner. This can cause irritation, itching and bleeding. Also, the women may need to urinate frequently. But this is never the case in women who are sexually active since the start. Regular sexual activity helps keep the vagina, and also the whole body, healthy and is extremely conducive to longevity.

Sometimes there are other reasons for lack of sexual activity in seniors. These can range from the simple boredom to the more severe medications and medical problems.

Yet, seniors should be sexually active. Even a century and a half number of years, admittedly unlikely, should not keep you from having sex. Male seniors are great at love making. Aside from all that experience, they are able to maintain erections longer. Due to the decrease in seminal levels, there is little pressure to ejaculate early.

Regular sexual activity is very beneficial to seniors. It keeps them healthier, happier and they are bound to live longer. Also they are a part of a celebrity generation that is fast getting older, and being sexually active makes them cooler!
