7 ways to maintain sexual intimacy after 50

Sex requires stamina, making fitness vital. Exercising not only strengthens the muscles but also improves one’s mood, both of which are essential for great sex.

Exercise

Open and honest communication helps address unexpressed feelings and iron out rifts. Experts believe that talking things over can encourage physical intimacy.

Communicate

One of the most effective ways to maintain sexual intimacy is to not take sex for granted and make it a priority.

Prioritize sex

Going on vacations or weekend trips can help improve sexual intimacy. The prospect of getting intimate in a new place can act as a turn-on, helping couples get cozier.

Change the place

Showering together, indulging in a body massage, trying different sexual positions or focusing on simpler acts such as kissing and cuddling helps revive waning sexual desires.

Think out of the box

Ergonomic and easy-to-operate sex toys can add spice to a couple’s sex life. They should be pursued regardless of any associated stigma.

Spice it up

Consult a doctor

People on antidepressants, antihistamines or medications for blood pressure and ulcers should consult a doctor to check if such drugs are affecting their libido.
