SICK AT SIXTY
Unfortunately, the glamour of having sex and keeping fit and feeling sexy at sixty is only for a handful of people. Most of those 60 and above are ill or physically unfit and mentally too preoccupied to indulge in sex any longer. For them sex is a game of the past, they need to think about serious issues in life and not sex which they indulged into decades ago, now suitable for their children only.
Men or women, sixty and above are preoccupied with illnesses, diseases, pains, family problems, business problems and other related issues. For men with their dwindling hormone level, they may have had experienced low or no performance in their past sexual encounter. This experience traumatizes them; this bad experience depresses them whenever they want to have sex again; the thought of not being able to perform is disturbing. This thought itself becomes the cause of sexual dysfunction in men. Instead of reporting to the doctor about their sexual inadequacy, people generally prefer to keep quiet and withdraw from sex altogether. They show their frustration by way of becoming angry, upset, emotional, and anxious
Simple health issues too bother older men. Their physical looks when off clothes, balding or receding hair, their beer gut/ pot belly and thinning arms and legs, all add to the low self-esteem of the person. In addition, if a person suffers from sexual dysfunction, he may feel completely let down, dejected and morose, if not suicidal. This puts a lot of strain in a relationship. Sometimes even when men are able and willing to have sex, older women , their partners, does not have the urge to indulge in having sex at all. So, between two older people, unless both are willing to enjoy the bedroom bash, there is bound to be a conflict and strained relationship, unless both of them are willing to refrain from this indoor game.
