Is Sex after 50 like an older man's hair - first it Recedes, then it leaves? That may sound like a cruel joke, but regrettably there's some truth to it. The good news in your 60's: You’re savoring your relationship, and the sex could be better than ever. At every age, sexologists agree, satisfying lovemaking has less to do with frenzied intercourse than with kissing, cuddling and leisurely, playful touching all over, that includes the genitals but doesn't fixate on them. This message is often lost on testosterone-fueled younger men. A new poll busts stereotypes about the sex lives of older Americans - and reveals gender and health-related divides on key aspects of sexual health. Forty percent of people between the ages of 65 and 80 are sexually active, according to the new findings from the National Poll on Healthy Aging.

Nearly three-quarters of people in this age range have a romantic partner and 54 percent of those with a partner are sexually active. Older men, less driven by their hormones, can learn to embrace outercourse - mutual whole-body pleasuring with fingers, lips, tongues and sex toys. This alternative approach enables them to enjoy deeply satisfying lovemaking without intercourse, or even erections. Much has been said about the 50's woman, and recently a Sista wrote about Sex in our Fifties & Beyond, and stated . . . . "we want to keep it exciting. We need to think outside the box, or the bedroom for that matter. Take that show on the road..as long as it doesn’t involve any indecent exposure..haha! I find that just changing the time of day from the norm, makes the act adventurous and enticing.". . a very good read. This is so true for ALL Ladies including us older gals. Keeping it Spicy is the key to longevity. We just have no time at all for Mr. Boring.
