The need for intimacy is ageless. And studies now confirm that no matter what your gender or age is, you can enjoy sex for as long as you wish. Naturally, sex at 70 or 80 is not like it is at 20 or 30—but in some ways it can be better. As an older adult, you may feel wiser than you were in your earlier years, and know what works best for you when it comes to your sex life. Older people often have a great deal more self-confidence and self-awareness, and feel released from the unrealistic ideals of youth and prejudices of others. And with children grown and work less demanding, couples are better able to relax and enjoy one another without the old distractions.

For a number of reasons, though, many adults worry about sex in their later years and end up turning away from sexual encounters. Some older adults feel embarrassed, either by their aging bodies or by their “performance” while others are affected by illness or loss of a partner.

Aging itself is not a cause of erectile dysfunction in men. However, diminishing hormone levels do precipitate some changes. A man may need more physical stimulation to become aroused, and his erection may not be quite as firm as when he was younger — but sex is no less pleasurable. While a 25-year-old man might be able to get a second erection as quickly as fifteen minutes after an ejaculation, a 50-year-old man might need several hours.

There are several products on the market that a man after 50 (without serious health problems) can use for a better sex life. The most common are Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and their generic forms. All these products work by allowing more blood inflow to the penis, in the presence of sexual arousal. therefore allowing men to sustain a better erection and enjoy a healthy sex life.

Emotional and psychological factors are usually responsible for a woman’s lack of interest in sex at midlife and beyond. Hormonal changes at menopause can affect a woman’s sexual response. Low estrogen levels can result in vaginal dryness, causing discomfort during sex. And in some women, lower testosterone levels can mean a lack of energy and a weaker sex drive.

Female Viagra is the solution for women having such problems. It increases the blood flow to the female genitals and thereby producing better arousal, sensation and lubrication in the genital area. Viagra for women is also used to increase libido in women.
