Sexual trends after +40
No matter who you become or what age you are at, if you're a healthy individual, then you definitely have a sex drive. Sex was made for all people and of all ages, except those under 18. Unlike the media, which usually shows younger couples having sex and having fun during sex, older couples, of course, enjoy sex too. In fact, many older people and older couples report that they are having more enjoyable sex in their forties than in their 20s. Right now, in 2020, there are many different sexual trends affecting people; this also means people over 40. Today we'll look at those trends are and explain how they affect people over 40.
More use of viagra, sex enhancers
Sometimes the mind is very willing, but the body is weak. Unfortunately, as you get older, you may not be as wanton as you once were. You still have the urge, but your body is now slower to respond. Many men who experience this for the first time have a sort of mini-crisis. They often don't think they're that old, and it shouldn't be happening to them. Unfortunately, 40 years old is the beginning age for ED issues. When they visit the doctors, the doctors usually offer Viagra. One of the best to prevent ED is to change your diet. People over 40 are not young anymore, and they cannot eat fast food and drink all day long and expect to perform like a 20-year-old again. Adding leafy greens, vegetables, beans, and fruit while staying away from red meat and deep-fried foods will help your body and libido in the long run. Some people who don't have ED want to experiment with Viagra for fun. Always talk to your doctor before taking non-vital medication.
Accidental pregnancy
Unfortunately, not all sex trends are positive, and unintentional pregnancy is a growing one. Because sexual functions begin to decline around the age of 40, many men and women are not using birth control or condoms. They believed that their body can no longer function properly as it once did. This is simply not true. Decline does not mean a complete stoppage. And women can still become pregnant in the beginning stages of menopause. Many people think the opposite and, as a result, have another child that they weren't expecting. Although they do love their child, many people have reported that having another child got in the way of them going back to school, advancing in their career, and doing what they planned for in their life at this point. So unless you had your uterus removed or you know he's had a vasectomy, keep using condoms and birth control.
Morning sex
After a long day at the office, taking care of the house, the kids, and doing errands and chores, many people don't feel like having sex at night. They used too much energy during the day, and they just want to lay down and watch Netflix. But this doesn't mean that they don't want sex. It means they're too tired. So many people over 40 who are extremely busy in their daily lives switch to having sex in the morning. They wake up earlier, and they have energy in the morning. They change their schedules because they don't want to neglect their partner or themselves. They do care about sex, but it feels like sex is usually the last activity that they have the energy for.
How to keep the spice alive
As you select a partner, get married, and settle down into your lives, the years go on and on without you two noticing. And the longer you are with each other, the more you get used to each other's moves, each other's sexual patterns, and where you both like to have sex. Although a healthy sex life throughout your marriage is great, many people feel like they're stuck in a rut. They want to experience something new without changing or cheating on their partner. If you feel like this, then you are not alone. Many couples who are married throughout their entire lives have a point in their marriage where they are bored of doing the same thing over and over again. But here is where the fun begins. You have absolute inspiration at your fingertips. Use the internet to find amazing techniques to satisfy each other in bed. It will take a spirit of curiosity to try new things, but your sex life will be better for it. Many older couples try role-playing and sex toys to help put the spice back in their sex lives.
Sex in retirement homes
This is a surprising trend that is happening all over hospices, Adult Day Care Centers, and senior living homes. But it goes to show that just because the body is slowing, does not mean that your libido is entirely dead. According to several news outlets, in the last few years, there has been a significant rise in STDs among the elderly community. This is especially true if the elderly live in senior homes or retirement homes. It is usually kept under wraps by the facility because they don't want their patient's children to know. But as more older adults are cared for in facilities and rest homes, the number of STDs will continue to rise.
In conclusion
No matter what stage in life you are in, you need to practice safe sex responsibly. Also, you need to understand that just because you're going through a decline doesn't mean your body has completely stopped working. You need to take the proper precautions and prevent pregnancy. Sex is a fun activity, and as you get older, you will have to find new ways to spice it up for you and your partner. It is a good idea to have different mediums for inspiration. If sex is important to you, then be sure to voice your concerns wants and needs to your partner and let them do the same to you. A couple on the same sexual page will be happier and more fulfilled. In the long run, your partner, you, and your marriage will be better for it.
