The ancient book "The Sutra of Pure Women" states: "At the age of twenty, one ejaculates every four days; at the age of thirty, eight days; at the age of forty, sixteen days; and at the age of fifty, twenty days. This is also true of French." Modern people's living standards have improved, and their physical fitness has greatly improved, making it "not uncommon" to be "rare in ancient times. As the saying goes, "Eighty is not old, ninety is still young, a person lives a hundred years, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful." Therefore, for people aged 60-65, it is advisable to have them every two weeks; For people over 65 years old, it is advisable to have it every 3-4 weeks; For people over 80 years old, it is appropriate to have one to 1.5 months. If the physical fitness is good, the interval can be appropriately shortened and the frequency increased according to sexual desire requirements. In short, the sexual life of elderly people should be based on post sexual satisfaction, physical fatigue or discomfort.
