So here it is and is it possible. Apparently so and for as long as you wish. Society tends to favour the young when reviewing sexual matters and the idea of someone doing it when they are over 50 can be somewhat disquieting. Banish these negative thoughts. Sex is for everyone whatever their age. Studies have found that it is incredibly good for you. Lots of friendly chemicals go rushing around your body and they make you feel wonderful. Good exercise in its own right.

Shhhh don\'t talk about it

The trick is to keep your body in reasonably good shape. Eating well and doing steady exercise will help keep things in trim and make you feel like it. Appearances might make a difference so looking after the way you look matters. Not trying to look 25 when you are 55 but appearing healthy, well dressed and reasonably confident is a good way forward. Advertisers are beginning to realise that looking older can be appealing. It is probably because they are after our money but it is beginning to change the perception that age is not a bad thing.

It has been said that sex when you are more mature can be much more fun as many of the problems present with young sex have gone. No more worries about becoming pregnant; there is a lot more available time that could be used getting close to someone, many of the working pressures have gone and so there can be much more fun. We can be kinder and more caring in our relationships as we have time and experience on our side.

Sexual problems are around for us older ones as for out younger colleagues. There are doctors and sexual therapists who can help with specific difficulties and a variety of medications to help things along. A word of warning. We are as vulnerable as young people to STI’s, sexually transmitted diseases. The bugs are no respecters of age or experience. We have to be just as sensible as we require them to be.
