The differences between men and women are undeniable: they are visible, and are even part of the anatomy itself. The same thing happens with the ways of experiencing sex: the forms of stimulation, the place that sex occupies in the mind, the need to masturbate, sexual desires and fantasies…
The libido It tends to be experienced, therefore, differently depending on the sex of each person.
Despite this, what is sought is harmony and complicity between the couple when having sexual relations. But what difficulty in the face of such differences. However, if we stop to know how the sexual response of both men and women changes throughout their respective lives our expectations will be more realistic at the time of the relationship.
At 17 or 18 years old, they reach the peak of their sexuality Sex invades her thoughts, leading to between 4 and 8 high-intensity orgasms a day. The refractory period exclusive to men (time in which they will not be able to have an orgasm, after having previously ejaculated), is very short, from a few seconds to a minute. From then on, his sexual capacity decreases very slowly.
20 – 30 years
Between your late 20s and early 30s, your sexual thoughts and libido change, but you continue to respond easily to sexual stimuli. They need fewer orgasms, they masturbate less, the stiffness of your erections begins to decrease and the refractory period lengthens
After 40, important changes begin to be noticed. Erotic thoughts and fantasies continue to decrease, they need more stimulation to achieve an erection (which will be slower) and the refractory period continues to increase.
50 years and older
At 50, a man’s orgasmic need is much lower, with two climaxes a week they are enough, they will be less intense and with weak ejaculation. During the 60s, insecurity, frustration and anxiety prevail; since it is difficult to accept that his sex life is changing. However, you can see this as a positive thing, thinking that the urge to ejaculate is over and having more time for imagination and tenderness
Women
Adolescence
during adolescence show less interest in sexuality than men Little by little your sensitivity increases.
35 – 45 years
Between 35 and 40 years They reach the peak of their sexuality and the speed and intensity of excitement increases From the age of 45, women’s sexual capacity begins to decline gradually, but more slowly than in the case of men. Another important difference compared to men is that age does not affect their orgasmic capacity.
From 60 years old
At 60 and past menopause, sexual desire does not have to decrease, although orgasmic intensity decreases
After age 65, women gradually worry less about sex, but they continue to use self-satisfaction without having to depend on the desire and ability of your partner.
What can we do to enjoy healthy sexuality throughout life?
To try to reduce these discrepancies and prevent them from affecting the couple’s sexual life, It is advisable to “stay active” Avoid monotony in the relationship, worries (work, economic, marital) that generate stress, stay physically and mentally fit, eat a healthy diet, avoid alcohol and other types of toxic substances.
That means, without going any further, “living together” at all levels and taking into account the different way in which the couple experiences well-being.
