Elderly & Sex
Does that mean more preparation (applying lube, getting a hard-on) is necessary when you get older?
Most women, as they age (and after menopause), will experience changes in their vaginal mucosa — meaning intercourse can be painful — so they’ll need extra lube and maybe extra estrogen cream, so their vaginas can help keep the cells healthy and strong. As men get older , they might experience some erectile issues. There are different treatments for this. Do not be afraid to seek supportive or therapeutic care.
Lubrication is useful during sex at any age, and not limited to older couples.
