Will a 4D-system waterbed influence my sex life?
 Yes, because the comfortable supporting
surface adds to your whole sense of well-being.
Comfort in all situations, including the act of making love is so much better. It is known
that some positions which are quite awkward or uncomfortable on an ordinary mattress, are no
problem on a 4D-Comfort watermattress.
Sex on a 4D-Comfort mattress is enjoyable and an added advantage is that the the bed is kept
in it's place because of its own weight. So the squeaking, cracking, or thumping sounds, which
sometimes made for awkward circumstances, are of the past.
Waterbeds are often found in red light districts. This only shows how good sex must be on
waterbeds.
Sex intensifies the immune system
When we feel really good in bed, so does our immune system. While making love oxytocin
is released, which thwarts the antistress hormone cortisol for a longer time. During this time
white blood cells are produced improving our resistance.
A healthy sex life also helps against depressions.
Studies have also shown that women with an active sex life have less wrinkles and appear
younger.
What you can do to maintain a healthy and enjoyable sex life as you grow older.
Getting older changes sexual function and desire. Senior sex isn't the same as it was in your
20s but it can still be satisfying. Contrary to common myths about sexuality and older adults, sex
is not just for the young. Many seniors continue to enjoy their sexuality into their 80s and
beyond.
A healthy sex life is not only fulfilling — but also good for other aspects of life, including
physical health and self-esteem. Adapting to the changes happening in the ageing body can help
someone to maintain a healthy and satisfying sex life. Changes might have to be made, such as
allowing more time to become aroused and talking more openly with your partner.
Senior sex: What changes as men get older?
As men age, testosterone levels decline and changes in desire and sexual function are common.
They include:
- Decreased sexual interest
- A need for more stimulation to achieve and maintain an erection and orgasm
- Shorter orgasms
- Less forceful ejaculation and less semen ejaculated
- Longer time needed to achieve another erection after ejaculation
When you get older health can have a big impact on your life and sexual performance. If either
partner is in poor health or has a chronic health condition such as heart disease or arthritis, sex
and intimacy become more challenging. Certain surgeries and many medications such as blood pressure
medications, antihistamines, antidepressants and acid-blocking drugs can affect sexual function.
But just because a person is getting older doesn't mean he or she can't enjoy a healthy sex life.
You just need to adapt to your changing body and know your limitations. Focus on ways of being
sexual and intimate that work for you and your partner. Talk with your doctor about your
concerns.
Tips to maintain a healthy sex life later in life :
-
Communicate with your partner. Open discussion of sex has become much more common
in the last 40 years, but many older adults come from a generation where sex remains a taboo
subject. But openly talking about your needs, desires and concerns with your partner can make you
closer and help you both enjoy sex and intimacy more.
-
Talk to your doctor. Talking about sexual issues with your doctor can help you
maintain a healthy sex life as you get older. Your doctor can help you manage chronic conditions
and medications that affect your sex life. Many older men have trouble maintaining an erection or
reaching an orgasm. Your doctor may be able to prescribe medications or other treatments for these
problems.
-
Expand your definition of sex. Intercourse is only one way to have fulfilling sex.
Touching, kissing and other intimate sexual contact may be just as rewarding for both you and your
partner. Realize that as you age, it is normal for you and your partner to have different sexual
abilities and needs. Be open to finding new ways to enjoy sexual contact and intimacy.
-
Change your routine. Simple changes can improve your sex life. Change the time of
day when you have sex to a time when you have the most energy. Try the morning — when you're
refreshed from a good night's sleep — rather than at the end of a long day. You should take more
time to set the stage for romance, such as a romantic dinner or an evening of dancing, because it
might take longer for you or your partner to become aroused. Try a new sexual position or explore
other new ways of connecting romantically and sexually.
-
Look for a partner if you're single. It is never too late for romance. It can be
difficult starting a relationship after the loss of a spouse or being single for a long time, but
socializing is well worth the effort for many single seniors. No one ever outgrows the need for
emotional closeness and intimate love. If you start a relationship with a new partner, be sure to
practice safe sex. Many older adults are unaware that they are still at risk of sexually
transmitted diseases such as AIDS.
-
Keep in shape. Eating regular nutritious meals, staying active, not drinking too
much alcohol, and not smoking or using illegal drugs are important for your overall health — and it
can help your sexual performance. Follow your doctor's instructions in taking medications and
managing any chronic health conditions.
-
Stay positive. The changes that come with aging — from health problems to changes
in appearance and sexual performance — give many men the feeling to be less attractive or give them
the feeling they are less capable of enjoying or giving sexual pleasure. Discussing your feelings
with your partner can help. Feeling angry, unhappy or depressed has a strong impact on your sex
life. Professional counseling or other treatment can improve your sex life — and your
well-being.
Sex may not be the same for you or your partner as it was when you were young. But by adapting
to your changing body, sex and intimacy can continue to be a fulfilling and rewarding part of your
life.
