Some times blind acceptance of cultural myths can
dampen desire to the point of extinction. That is especially true of sex and the aged.
"In the geriatric field, one of the last bastions of culturally enforced ignorance
persists in the area sex & sexuality" observed a renowned sex therapist. The
widely accepted cultural dogma that sexual interaction between older persons is not only
socially unacceptable, but may be physically harmful, results in thousands of men &
women withdrawing from active sexual expression every year. This results in impotence.
It is true you cant do at 60 what you did at 20. As a man grows
older, he walks slow, he talks slow. One needs to remember that this is a normal
phenomenon. Some are under the impression that "one failure in making it means an end
to sex life". As a result, many men move from effective sexual functioning to various
degrees of impotence. the misconception that "sex after 60 is not possible"
needs to be changed. Men & women can continue to remain sexually active till the last
day of their lives provided they are in sound physical and mental health. The common
reasons for a reduced sex drive in later years are:
- Monotony and loss of interest
- Changes in physical appearance
- Misconception about ones waning sexuality
- Lack of communication
- Depression
