Age brings changes in sexual patterns for both partners. A sexologist and psychotherapist at the Karpovka+ Scientific Clinical Center notes that menopause and other ageing processes shift how people respond sexually, prompting couples to adapt their routines and expectations.
In practice, many couples discover they need longer foreplay before getting intimate. Shifting the emphasis away from penetration toward mutual stimulation can help maintain intimacy as bodies change.
As men age, arousal may take longer, which can increase friction if attempts to climax are rushed. The suggestion is not to force a peak but to explore alternative ways to connect. Couples can broaden their repertoire with affectionate touch, oral stimulation, and a wider range of sexual activities. Introducing sex aids in a thoughtful, comfortable way can also add novelty. Increasing emotional openness with a partner supports a more satisfying experience. — Socialbites.ca
