Senior Planet’s “Sex at Our Age” column typically features one detailed question along with Joan Price’s comprehensive answer. However, occasionally she gathers short questions that require brief responses, which she calls “Quickies.”
Quickie #1: Household Lube?
As a 72-year-old male, what should you use for a lubricant during unplanned sex? Avoid household items and opt for a high-quality lubricant designed for sexual activity with safe ingredients. Always keep lube on hand for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Quickie #2: Toy during Intercourse?
For using a toy during intercourse to reach orgasm, consider a clitoral vibrator that won’t interfere with vaginal access. Several options are available that specifically target the clitoris, enhancing pleasure during sexual activity.
Quickie #3: Lack of Affection?
If you’re in a long-term relationship with no intimacy, consider seeking a different living situation that provides acceptance and respect. Your emotional well-being is essential, and you deserve a fulfilling and affectionate relationship.
Quickie #4: Breaking Religious Guilt?
For individuals struggling with religious teachings on sex, it’s important to prioritize your desires and seek a fulfilling connection. Explore your feelings with a sex therapist to navigate conflicting emotions and find joy in your choices.
Quickie #5: Safer Sex Practices?
Regardless of age, use barrier protection with every new partner to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Stay informed about STI rates among seniors and prioritize safe sex practices for a healthier intimate life.
