Sex in later life may be the best sex of your life.
Don’t believe the myth that sexual desires naturally fade as a part of aging. Too many men and women “close up shop” when instead they should be exploring how their sexuality can expand into a new direction made possible by increased self-awareness and the freedom that comes with sex in their post-reproduction stage.
For women, it shouldn’t be a case of trying to maintain or get back to their sexual selves in their younger life, but rather stepping up to a whole new level as a sexual woman they have never yet been.
This section of Live To Be 120 and Healthy is devoted to the exploration of how sexuality plays a role in longevity. For women, the implications are that they should capitalize on the factors that contribute to their longer lives, but certainly they will want to encourage their men to minimize factors that contribute to their higher mortality rate (whenever possible).
When all of us – males and females – get to be centenarians, we want the older years to be less about dwelling on lost sexual capacity and more on opportunities that have opened up. Women should have a strong desire to help men identify ways by which they can extend their sexuality so that the journey is made together.
In future posts, I will look at such things as “outercourse” (versus intercourse), eroticizing hygiene, sexual indulgences, and oral sex as much more than foreplay.
