Sexual activity can have health benefits for older individuals. These benefits include lowering blood pressure, easing chronic pain, improving sleep quality, reducing the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. However, older adults may face challenges such as changes in their physical abilities, declining hormone levels, and different sexual needs. It is important to redefine what sex means to you and your partner. There are many ways to continue a strong, healthy sexual relationship without always relying on regular intercourse. It could mean changing how you pleasure each other, routines you follow, and frequency. Communication is vital in any relationship and talking about sex is important. Most partners are open and willing to discuss and share if given a chance. The emphasis should be on emotional bonding and spending quality time together beyond the physical side.
