Does your partner come to bed hours after you because you no longer engage in intimate acts as often as you once did? Everyone knows that after the first flush of a new romance engaging in sexual activity declines and obviously the older you get the fewer encounters you will have.
However there is no need to lose a good loving sexual relationship with your partner just because you have been together a long time. There are many people well into their 70's and 80's that still enjoy a fulfilling and satisfying sex life. What is stopping you? There are many ways of enjoying sexual fulfillment without penetration. Think about the things you used to get up to in the first flush of youth. There were plenty of occasions when you were sexually satisfied by your partner but didn't have full penetrative sex. What is stopping you doing that now? Mutual enjoyment of each other's bodies does not have to stop with age. You have known your partner a long time and there are no surprises about their body left. So don't let shyness or timidity stop you from having fun!
The three most common complaints that stop more mature couples from having sex are lack of an erection on the part of the man, dryness on the part of the woman and shyness about initiating lovemaking. All of these things can easily be overcome with a little thought and give and take.
Lack of erection does not mean lack of desire. Men still love and appreciate their partners even if they can no longer get or maintain an erection and they still want to give their partner penetrative pleasure. The most obvious answer to this situation is to invest in the luxury Vibrators or Dildos. Don't be shocked by this suggestion. The Vibrator "Industry" in the US is now worth over a billion US$ per year and over three million vibrators are sold in the UK each year. On Jan 7th, 2011 Oliver Chiang of blog.Forbes.com reported that: "Trojan: US Market Size For Vibrators $1 Billion, Twice The Condom Market Size" and that is just one company. There are plenty of manufacturers out there so put your shyness behind you and get online and order a dildo or vibrator. However before you do take the plunge, research the kind of vibrator that will suit you, taking into account your preferences at web sites such as sex toys online shopping sites and that will give you an idea of what is out there and prices. Remember also that there are vibrators available for just a few dollars so they are almost disposable. Once you have tried a cheap one and decided that you like the idea you can invest in a more expensive "all singing all dancing" model.
Another of the main problems preventing couples enjoying a good sex life is dryness of the lady and fear of pain. This is a problem that is not a real problem. Natural moisture might be missing but that shouldn't prevent desire or enjoyment. In the same way there are plenty of high quality sex toys online available like luxury vibrators and there are plenty of lubricants available too. Explore the sex toys online stores and take the plunge by ordering some lubricant and get your love life back on track.
Shyness at initiating lovemaking because fear of rejection is another major cause of lack of intimacy. So the answer to this is to start activities that are not sexual in themselves but can lead to lovemaking. When you are together in bed tell your partner you have "backache" or "shoulder pains" and ask them if they can they give you a rub. You would be surprised how erotic and arousing a good massage can be. Once the ice is broken and your partner is stroking your body, preferably with some massage lotion, it is only a small step to start massaging those erogenous zones that will lead to full sex. If you are too shy at actually saying anything then direct them physically or suggest that it's your turn to massage them now and start to spend some time doing your best to arouse them. You already know what they like, because they are your partner, so just do what you have always done and see where it leads. Hopefully to renewed intimacy and a fulfilling sex life.
