Topic: 50 and over | |
---|---|
I agree with Navygirl: weights, strength training, bicycle-riding (not looking at butterflies). Just do that everyday... 15-30 min. Get a bike-trainer (60-300 us dollars?) for the winter. Or, use a ATB and good balance?! lol

Do woman over 50 still want sex?
Some answers were as following; Decrease in hormones has nothing to do with a woman's sex drive, Also the age of a woman is not an indicator or sexual drive. For some women hormonal changes do affect their sex drive. Sure they do. They are just more picky. If the sex is not satisfying for the woman, she will get bored..or feel used.. A woman gets turned on differently than a man...shes more mental..the man is more visual. The old saying that mom said "A man marries for sex and a woman for love". A man needs respect and a woman needs love... I want it more now than when I was a busy working mother and I'm 65. I don't think that age has much to do with it. I love sex; always have really. I was just too tired to take advantage of it as often back in my 30's. Once I retired from the stress of the working force, my sex drive accelerated. I find sex to be one of the things in life that is comforting, especially when other things aren't going so well. |

Sex and Seniors: The 70-Year Itch
By Loren Stein, M.A. Summarized by me; Sexual intimacy among older Americans is a subject that people don't talk about much. The silence, say experts, allows misconceptions to flourish -- including the widespread assumption that seniors lose interest in sex and are, or should be, asexual. But armed with a spate of studies that help dispel the myth that older people don't have sex or enjoy it, experts say the negative stereotypes couldn't be farther from the truth. "There is no age limit on sexuality and sexual activity," reports Stephanie A. Sanders, PhD, associate director of the sexual research group The Kinsey Institute. While the frequency or ability to perform sexually will generally decline modestly as seniors experience the normal physiological changes that accompany aging, reports show that the majority of men and women between the ages of 50 and 80 are still enthusiastic about sex and intimacy. An expert says "If you stay interested, stay healthy, stay off medications, and have a good mate, then you can have good sex all the way to the end of life,". A Duke University study shows that some 20 percent of people over 65 have sex lives that are better than ever before, he adds. And although not everyone wants or needs an active sex life, many people continue to be sexual all their lives. "There's strong data all over: It's a matter of survival," says Dr. Bortz. "People that have sex live longer. Married people live longer. People need people. The more intimate the connection, the more powerful the effects." But older people may encounter an obstacle they hadn't expected: their adult children, who may be less than pleased to see their aging parents as sexual beings. Such judgmental attitudes prevent many older people from moving in with each other or even having their partner over, according to Dr. Jack Parlow, a retired clinical psychologist in Toronto. |

Want to improve your sex life? Eat this, not that;
"One-third of young married have fertility problems today and instead of seeing men with performance problems at age 70 the way we did a few decades ago, we now see it at age 40," says an expert. "Fifty percent of 40-year-old men cannot perform." Skip: Bacon, sausage and other fatty meats, Dairy. Processed baked goods and Soy-based products. The better sex diet; Food that's high in omega-3 fatty acids like mackerel, salmon and wild salmon are tops. Improved circulation results in greater erectile response, helpful for improving sexual function in men — and in women, too, since blood flows to the clitoris and surrounding vulva. What you should reach for: Carrots, a well-known libido enhancer, loaded with vitamin E Green leafy veggies, which clean blood and open capillaries effectively Avocados are fuel for cells with their essential fatty acids Watermelon contains phytochemicals to open blood cells Dates are among those fruits which help increase your sexual stamina. |

Physical activity (exercise) can help older people maintain independence, recover from illness and reduce their risk of disease. Muscle mass and bone strength can be improved with regular exercise. Walking, swimming, dancing and cycling are all good forms of exercise which can also be sociable. Weight training can also be useful.
Only around one in 10 Australians over the age of 50 exercises enough to gain any cardiovascular benefit. Some estimates suggest that about half of the physical decline associated with old age may be due to a lack of physical activity. It has been suggested that people over the age of 65, more than any other age group, require adequate fitness levels to help them maintain independence, recover from illness and reduce their high risk of disease. Various studies show that it is never too late to get fit. The human body responds to exercise, no matter what its age, and there are many health benefits. If you are over 40 years, obese, suffering from a chronic illness or have been sedentary for some time, it is a good idea to check with your doctor before embarking on any new exercise routine. |

How much does it hurt to be lonely? Loneliness has a deep impact on quality of life in older people. Findings on sex-specific differences on the experience of loneliness remain sparse. Analyses are based on the 2008/2009 data, comprising 4127 participants in the age range of 64-94 years. RESULTS: The mean level of loneliness did not significantly differ between men and women. However, among the oldest old (≥85 years), loneliness was higher in women. Depression, low satisfaction with life, and low resilience were associated significantly with loneliness, which was more pronounced in men. Living alone was not associated with loneliness, whereas lower social network was associated with a three time higher risk for feeling lonely in both men and women. CONCLUSIONS: The extent of loneliness was equally distributed between men and women, although women were more disadvantaged regarding living arrangements as well as physical and mental health. However, loneliness was stronger associated with adverse mental health conditions in men. These findings should be considered when developing intervention strategies to reduce loneliness. |
