SEX AND GETTING OLDER: MULTIPLE ORGASMS

The slowing of the sexual response with age may be good news. Many men find that it takes them longer to come so their partner can orgasm first, even if it’s a feat they rarely achieved in their younger days. Ruth, now in her sixties, says she experienced her first multiple orgasm in her fifties. ‘In our younger days I rarely managed an orgasm during intercourse at all. Now that Keith takes a bit longer it gives me time to relax and really enjoy it. I can have two orgasms before he’s had one!’ On that subject, some men over the age of thirty-five report that they have been able to develop the ability to have multiple orgasms.

Although it is less obvious than other effects, sperm production gradually declines with age but it doesn’t disappear altogether, and while testosterone levels fall gradually from your mid-fifties, there is not the sudden drop in hormone levels that women get. Even though it might not cause any sexual difficulties, men find their erections are less rigid. As you get older, you might find you need more active stimulation of the penis to get it up. This is not in itself a problem, unless a man’s partner has not previously taken an active role in lovemaking, like orally or manually stimulating him. The prospect of either partner changing their sexual techniques after years and years can be very daunting.

Experimentation can be a very foreign concept.
