Sexual life span of men and women

Many people think that as people age, their sex life naturally dies out. But it turns out that this is a common misunderstanding. Recently, the Popular Health Network published a report aimed at understanding the length of the active period of sexual life.

The report shows that the average age of sexual activity for American men is 65, while for women it is 60.

Among men over 75 years old, 38.9% still have strong sexual desire, while the figure for women in the same age group is 16.8%. The researchers said: "Older people should be confident about their sexual desire and ability. This survey is also good news for middle-aged people."

So, is this survey also applicable to us Chinese? In this regard, Director Jiang Hui, a male medicine expert at Peking University Third Hospital, said that this survey is relatively novel. As far as he knew, there was no difference between Westerners and Easterners when it came to the duration of sex.

Older men have a much higher sex drive than older women

Such survey results are normal. Because women's ovarian function and estrogen levels decline after menopause, their sexual desire is bound to weaken. Moreover, the older a woman is, the less vaginal secretions she has and the drier her vagina becomes. The resulting difficulty in sexual intercourse can easily lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

Therefore, if the elderly want to maintain long-term sexual activity, they must maintain a stable frequency of sexual life, two to three times a month is appropriate. Moreover, both men and women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their reproductive organs. You can also change positions frequently during sexual intercourse to increase the interest. Women can use some lubricants to improve the problem of pain during sexual intercourse.
