OLD AGE SEX

Men harbour the misconception that increasing age and regular sex indulgence may lead to weakening of the genitals & in "Seminal Bankruptcy". Because of this misguided belief people observe sexual abstinence. As a man grows older, he walks slow; he talks slow but expects that his erection should not be slow. As a man grows older, erection takes a longer time to occur. Similarly in women, lubrication takes a longer time to occur. A man may often require direct physical stimulation to achieve erection & the same is also true of a woman's lubrication. The colour of the semen changes from white to light yellow, the consistency gets thinner & the quantity decreases. This occurs due to the changes of hormonal levels.

The menopause is the cessation in menstrual periods that occur in most women sometime between the ages of 45 to 53. At the time, the body's reproductive machinery shuts downs gradually. Some women harbour the misconception that menopause marks the end of their sexual activities and this fear (about their waning sexuality) increase their sex drive to reaffirm their reasons.As Practitioner of unani herbalism, it is our duty to explain to the older couple the physiological changes that occur with age and reassure them that a healthy conjugal relationship is a normal & acceptable form of behavior, at any age, because sexuality is as important for the old as it is for the young. In this regard any inability can be consulted & rectified.
