Sexual capacity may also be affected by health conditions , like if the person has physical impairment for instance. Some women might find it harder to become aroused as their age increases. Men might experience difficulty achieving an erection and/or a rigid erection as they get older. Additionally for ageing men, they might need more time to recover after achieving orgasm. However, many people seek intimacy and have sexual desires despite their age. Unfortunately, there are still taboo around older adults and sexuality.
