Sex changes from the age of 50 - but not the fun!

Sex after 50: What changes?

Even if 50 is the new 30 and women at this age can really keep up with younger women visually, the menopause means you have to deal with hormonal fluctuations - which unfortunately make it clear that you have passed your 30s and 40s. Due to hormonal changes and falling oestrogen levels, women over 50 often have less desire for sex. This time also leaves its mark on men, as erection problems can occur more frequently due to the drop in testosterone levels.

Sex after 50: foreplay becomes more important

It can still get hot - but sometimes not right away. Due to the hormonal changes mentioned above, foreplay is therefore all the more important to get in the mood. Couples often have little sex and you almost have to get to know each other physically again. Take your time and discover your partner's body anew. Be tender and pay attention to their reactions - does the other person like it or not? If you don't like something at all or find certain touches very nice, you can lead them closer or have a conversation. Satisfaction and pleasure on both sides are the most important things.

Sex positions that are a little more comfortable

You're not quite as athletic as you were in your 30s when you're 50 - that's a fact. Look together for positions that appeal to you but are also feasible - you don't want to have to visit an orthopaedist afterwards. The classic missionary position is extremely popular, but the riding position is also fulfilling for both of you. There are many ways for both of you to climax!
