| Getting Older and Better: How Aging Affects Sexual Health for Women | | Print | |
Sexual health is not solely based on the act of sex, but encompasses the physical, social,
mental, and emotional health of all parties involved. Positive sexual health means that all
parties involved are respectful towards each other of the desires of each.
Sexual pleasure has immense power. The way the body responds is exciting. In addition, sex
can have immense healing powers. The excitement in trying different positions and new toys
can spark a flame in a relationship that may have dulled a bit. Masturbation has many benefits
including truly loving yourself and your body. It also increases the awareness of your needs and
desires so that you can better communicate those to your partner.
The woman, who has experienced life, tends to not be so harsh on her self-image and exude
more confidence. With this self-confidence, they will readily share the information they know
about themselves with their partner. Being able to love your body and communicate that to
your partner is a key aspect to having a fulfilling sexual relationship.
If your mind is constantly on how your body looks, acts, smells, or tastes – you will definitely
not be concentrating on the pleasure that your partner is trying to give you. In obsessing over
these details, you will certainly bring your relationship to a halt.
Concentrating on the arousal that is taking place in the body is very important for a woman and
if you are obsessing over anything, you are not experiencing the pleasure of sex. Older women
have had years of exploring their bodies and often can reach an orgasm easier than can a
younger woman who has not quite accepted her body and explored her own sexuality so freely.
Do not forget to communicate with your partner. Your partner may be great, but they cannot
read your mind.
During the sexual experience, it is not always appropriate to criticize your partner. You may
want to consider gliding their hand to the position that brings you pleasure or show them
through masturbation how you reach orgasm. Being able to communicate in this way enhances
trust, respect, and honesty between you and your partner.
There are several ways to reach orgasm and there is no “one way” or “right way” to reach
orgasm. Intercourse is definitely one way there is also clitoral stimulation manually, orally, or
with sex toys. Many women also have multiple orgasms, so if the woman is reaching several
orgasms through different methods it makes the sexual encounter that much more pleasurable.
Whether the orgasm is one, small, large, or multiple, they are all valid. Older women are less
inhibited and embarrassed about asking to have stimulation from their partner or self-stimulate.
Looking "hot" is not an older woman's goal. Most older, women are past this and concentrate
on being satisfied and pleasing their partner. Younger women have found they have to
concentrate harder in order to get an orgasm.
Strengthening the pelvic floor with Kegel exercises are a great way to enhance your sexual
pleasure. These muscles contract with an orgasm, so if you are working to strengthen them you
can make orgasm more intense. Older women have been long doing these, especially to help
tighten after childbirth. Using this technique during sex is more arousing and brings you closer
to orgasm, but does so for the man too. This will enable a women to have more control on her
body and help give her partner extra stimulation.
Vibrators have a place among the tools that people use to improve their sexual skills, increase
their own and their partners' pleasure, and add joy to their sex lives. Vibrators came to market
as a way to provide women, especially non-orgasmic women, a new kind of intense sexual
stimulation whether or not they had a sex partner.
Whether hand-held or designed to fasten over the hand, a vibrator is simply an appliance that
produces a steady, rapid rhythm - at about 2,000 vibes or oscillations a minute. Vibrators
provide intense clitoral stimulation and most females need this stimulation to either aid in
orgasm or achieve an orgasm. Older women have had or have no problem adding this
dimension to their sex lives, and tend be a little more adventurous. Who says older is not
better? Seems like the older people get the better they get sexually.
