Traditional ideas are deeply ingrained in the hearts of elderly people, especially topics related to sex, which make it difficult for them to avoid or speak up.

Can an elderly person over 60 still have a "married life"?
Sexual activity is a human biological instinct, not only used to reproduce offspring, but also to bring joy to people. After entering the age of 60, various bodily functions gradually decline, and physical strength and energy are not as good as before. In terms of sexual activity, one has a heart but is powerless. However, as long as one's physical health is ensured, having sex 1-2 times a month can maintain physical health and alleviate emotions such as depression and depression. For the elderly, sex is not only a simple physical contact, but also a spiritual need. For the sake of one's own health, sexual activity should be scheduled in the morning as much as possible, as after a night of sleep, energy and physical strength are abundant, sexual activity can achieve a different sense of pleasure.
What are the benefits of sexual activity for 60 year olds?
1. Maintain physical health
At the age of 60, chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction are at their peak. Women are in menopause, with ovarian function declining, estrogen secretion decreasing, and the vagina becoming abnormally dry and astringent. A brief sexual activity is equivalent to a physical exercise, which can accelerate blood circulation throughout the body, alleviate sexual repression, and be beneficial to physical health.
2. Beneficial for maintaining a good mindset
Harmonious sexual life is a mediator of emotions between men and women, and young people with abundant physical and energetic energy are prone to sexual pleasure. After entering the age of 60, the body is still very healthy. If both spouses can obtain sexual satisfaction from sex, it can elevate the relationship between the couple, improve the quality of life, and also alleviate anxiety.
3. Reduce the occurrence of depression
Elderly people who have a regular lifestyle are more energized, with rosy and shiny skin and fewer wrinkles compared to those who have no sex. This also makes their psychology more optimistic and reduces depression in the elderly.
What should we pay attention to in our human life at the age of 60?

Regardless of the age group, it is important to control the frequency of sexual activity and avoid excessive frequency, usually around 1-2 times a month. Sexual intercourse between elderly couples is a normal phenomenon and cannot be overly suppressed or forced.
