Best Sexual Positions after 60
November 29, 2018 | Sex | By Amanda Johnson
Please use that magazine that shows you ‘nude acrobatics’ more for sharing laughs with your partner rather than to emulate in bed. You are sixty and you need to pay heed to that back and those knees of yours. Doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Here are the Best Sexual Positions after 60 for you.
How Your Body Changes With Age
Sex is not only for the young. Just because you have added a few years doesn’t mean you attain celibacy. You don’t need to give up on sex because your body has changed. You just need to be a little careful. As you age, the body undergoes some changes. Once you are aware of these, making adjustments accordingly and having a good time in bed will become easier.
Hormonal Count Drops
Testosterone is the main hormone that makes you want to enjoy that romp in bed. With age this drops. Hence you might find that you don’t want sex as much as you did in your youth. Also, for women, the estrogen level drops as well. This makes it difficult for her to become wet and aroused. So, you could ask your partner to help you with adequate clitoral stimulation or you could use lube before indulging in the act. You could also use patches and gels or even take estrogen supplements to improve the hormone levels. Do speak to your doctor before starting on one though.
Aches And Pains
The aging bones and muscles – especially if you have arthritis – could make it difficult for you have sex in every position. Also, once hurt, the healing takes much longer now. Hence don’t try to be an acrobat in bed! You just need to have fun. Be a little careful and indulge in positions where the discomfort is the least.
No Earth Shattering Orgasm
If you have been watching too much of sex on the screen you might begin to get worried as to why your orgasm is not that great. The truth is, with age, the intensity of it falls. However, that does not mean that the entire experience with your partner cannot be a sensual and a pleasurable one.
Erection Issues
Older men might have difficulty in having the erection for long. This could be a source of embarrassment for him. You, the lady, as his partner, should be aware of such issues and be more understanding and accommodating.
Best Positions For The Act
Spooning
If you liked the doggie style in your youth, try the spooning technique now. All you have to do is to lie on your side while your partner cuddles you from behind. You, as the lady, have to press your back against your partner as he penetrates you. If you feel flexible enough then you may raise your upper leg and he can enter you at a slight angle. The enjoyment would remain the same as was with the doggie style, but the pressure on your knees would get reduced and your back would also get protected. It is also helpful for ladies who are a little bulky and have a slightly larger stomach. Some variations of the spooning techniques includes use pillows as prop ups. You, the lady, can place a pillow between your legs and keep the leg on top higher. This will allow an easier passage during penetration. The man can use pillows onhis back as well. This will help him when he is moving forward.
Side by Side
Both your partner and you should lie side by side on your backs. You, the female, can put one leg over your partner such that he can enter you. This position makes it comfortable for both while all the time preventing the possibility of any hurt.
Get That Chair
If your partner suffers from a bad back, then try this position. Find yourself a comfortable chair – not a creaky one and neither a sink in sofa. Get your partner to sit with his back straight against the backrest of the chair. You, the lady, sit on his lap facing him. Make sure the chair is such that your feet can touch the ground. This will provide you additional support and there won’t be any chances of anyone toppling over.
Get On Your Arms
This position will take care of the fact that maybe your bodies don’t have that kind of flexibility anymore. This position could have the woman or the man on top. The one on top will face the partner such that his or her forearms are bent on either side of the bed (near the chest of the partner) and he /she sits with the knees slightly bent. The position of the forearms provides balance and the position of the knees acts as a hinge and distributes the weight evenly across the body. The one lying on his/her back on the bed puts the legs behind the partner’s lower legs. This prevents the one on top from squashing the one below and also helps with better movement.
Live On The Edge
You, the woman, can lie on the edge of the bed. Use a pillow under your lower back to prop up your pelvis. Your partner will stand in front between your legs and enter you. Using the pillow will protect your back and since your man uses his entire body to move, his chances of getting hurt is also minimal.
With the various positions discussed that will offer your comfort, there are also those times when one or the both of you might not want sex at all. Then too, you have options wherein to have good time in bed with your partner.
- Give each other soothing massages and indulge in kisses intermittently as you do so
- Touch and finger each other in the erogenous zones to stimulate and cause arousal then indulge in mutual masturbation
- Use your mouth and tongue and pleasure each other with oral sex
- Use sex toys that will add fun to the act and might also be needed (like the cock ring to help the man maintain his erection for a longer time in case he has such issues)
At an older age,a little bit of precaution is all that one needs to enjoy some good sex. So, go on and choose your best position and have some fun tonight.
