Welcome to The Couples Expert podcast! This is episode 163 of our show. This week’s topic is about the joys and challenges of keeping a close and connected sexual relationship as we age.

Our bodies will continue to change over time, and no matter how emotionally connected we are to our partners, the process of aging can introduce doubts and insecurities into our intimate life.

Listen as Stuart tackles this important subject today.

What you’ll learn from today’s podcast:

  • Sexuality in the early relationship and the impact of children 4:36
  • The effects of aging on your bodies 10:52
  • If you don’t make it important enough,  the physical touch and intimacy is lost 13:09
  • You’re never too old to be sexual with your partner 15:01
  • When physical issues interfere with sexual activity 16:35
  • Scheduling sex may become necessary  18:03
  • Suggestions for help and how to talk about these problems 25:29

It’s crucial that you discuss your sexual issues without reservation. This is the best friend that you’ve been with and cherished for so long. You have all of this history, love and passion that you’ve shared over the years. You can and must talk to each other as time goes by. The evolution of your sexual relationship is an integral part of this. Use the tools available to help in the form of lubricant products and pharmaceuticals. If you address complications and challenges (such as your physical limitations) together, it’s absolutely possible that you can modify your sexual activities as you age so that you can continue to enjoy sex together well into advanced age

Young people grow up with an assumption about when people stop having an active sex life. After all, who of us ever wanted to think about our parents or any  “old” people having sex? That ranks right up there with the most nightmarish of thoughts.

One upon a time, it may have been true that post-menopausal women and men with prostate trouble or other medical issues would stop having an active sex life in their 50s or 60s. It just happened that way. Not so now. Today’s couples know you are not your grandparents. With the advent of ED medication and more widespread knowledge of female biology and menopausal effects on body and libido, couples are able to lead an active sex life well into advanced age.
