"With age, the human body does experience biological aging, such as decreased libido, but sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction (ED) does not necessarily occur.". As the quality of life and medical conditions improve, Chinese people generally live longer and are healthier. At the same time, the age of sexual activity in older people, especially older men, also continues to be longer. The peak of male sex is before the age of 20, and it begins to decline around the age of 35. However, if the elderly over 80 have a good attitude and no heart disease, diabetes, lumbar disease, etc., most of them can still maintain sexual ability.
Most middle-aged and elderly people suffer from disorders caused by systemic chronic diseases, psychological factors, and drug side effects. In short, this is not an inevitable result of human aging. Once middle-aged and elderly men have sexual dysfunction, they should actively seek the cause and receive treatment, most of which can be cured.
Coordinated sexual life is conducive to enhancing the immune function of the nervous system in the elderly and delaying aging. On the contrary, if sexual demands are not met as they should be, they can cause mental distress, anxiety, and physical discomfort. In fact, sexual behavior in the elderly may not necessarily achieve ejaculation. Sexual desire can be divided into a desire for contact and a desire to relieve fullness. For elderly couples, in addition to spiritual love and communication, another important aspect is the desire for contact, namely, physical contact, mutual caressing, and mutual stimulation of sexual organs. "Swelling relieves desire, also known as excretory desire, such as male penis erection and ejaculation.". As the desire to excrete is influenced by many factors such as age, older people who fail to meet this indicator can use hugs to express their emotions, which also contributes to healthy longevity.
