Anecdotal and scientific evidence tells us otherwise. Senior women may face challenges with libido and sexual function, but the good news for both of you is that they can still enjoy a thriving sex life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Older Women and Sexuality: An Overview<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many women remain sexually active throughout their senior years. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2426743\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that many older adults still engage in intercourse, oral sex, and masturbation throughout their eighth and ninth decades of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, why do so many people assume that women stop having and enjoying sex as they age? This may have more to do with the fact that sexual problems and barriers to sex become more common with age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like men, older women may experience <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/for-women-sexuality-changes-with-age-but-doesnt-disappear-201402137035\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual challenges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Many people experience a number of fluctuations or transitions within their sex lives throughout their adult lifespan. Stating that sexual desire simply disappears with age misrepresents what\u2019s really happening with most older woman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Does Libido Naturally Drop as Women Age?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no such thing as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/erectile-dysfunction\/do-you-have-a-normal-sex-drive\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;normal\u201d sex drive or libido<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/indianjpsychiatry\/Fulltext\/2011\/53040\/Sexuality__Desire,_activity_and_intimacy_in_the.4.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that sexual desire does seem to decline in both men and women as they age. Women over 50 are more likely to report a reduced sex drive than men of the same age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decline may be linked to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/how-sex-changes-after-menopause\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">menopause<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Women experience a sharp decline in estrogen during menopause. This contributes to vaginal dryness, which can make sex painful and make it harder to orgasm.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>How Can Women Stay Interested in Sex as They Age?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/indianjpsychiatry\/Fulltext\/2011\/53040\/Sexuality__Desire,_activity_and_intimacy_in_the.4.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> declines in libido and sexual function with age, love and intimacy stay the same in most older adults. Many older women are still having sex, but it may look different than it did in earlier years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining an interest in sex might take extra <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpguide.org\/articles\/alzheimers-dementia-aging\/better-sex-as-you-age.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effort<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Embracing change. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside changes in natural lubrication, many women experience physical changes in their appearance, such as their hair, skin, or body shape. This can make it more difficult to feel comfortable with sex. Embracing changes that come with age can help couples feel both desire and desirable as they age.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Improving communication. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s critical for partners to set time aside to discuss how they feel about sex, what they would like out of sex, and what challenges they\u2019re having with sex. Unfortunately, it\u2019s common for older couples to stop having sex with one or both partners not understanding why. It many cases, the problem may have been easy to fix \u2014 if they had talked about it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Redefining sex. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical changes to genital blood flow and lubrication mean that sex may take longer. It can also be more difficult for women to orgasm without direct clitoral stimulation. Some women may need more time to climax and may feel more pleasure from \u201coutercourse\u201d rather than vaginal intercourse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Setting realistic expectations.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is no such thing as \u201cnormal\u201d when it comes to sex. Women can explore what they are most comfortable with and set more realistic expectations for their sexual experiences. For example, someone may choose to focus more on intimacy than on reaching climax during sex.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Enjoying Sex In Your Golden Years<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aging presents the opportunity for women to revisit how they define sex and what they want their sex lives to look like. Older women may face new challenges, but they can also embrace some of the changes that aging brings. For example, they are less likely to have children at home and don\u2019t have to worry about pregnancy or their menstrual cycle getting in the way of sex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For both of you, taking care of your physical health, exploring new ways to experience pleasure, and protecting yourself from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) \u2014 if you have multiple partners \u2014 can help you to maintain a better sex life as you age.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Does Better Health Mean Better Sex?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health problems can make sex more challenging for older adults.
