The most important tip that I can give to seniors to improve their sexual relationship is the power of laughter. Because of the aging process, sexual encounters may be difficult at times. Engaging in gentle humor may help people get through an awkward moment of physical or emotional issues. With a gentle and loving laugh, shows our partners that there is an understanding that comes between two people who want to be together.

Sexual encounters should be enjoyable regardless how old you are. If you are having physical problems seek help from a healthcare professional that can guide you on what medications that you can or cannot take to help improve your physical condition. Or there are many self-help books that are out there in the market place that a person can buy without feeling shameful about.

Some seniors may feel embarrassed about sexual encounters because of the changes in their bodies. Communication can be a great aphrodisiac, speak to your partner about how you feel. When you open your feelings up it allows the other person to see how astonishing you are.

If you are not in a long term monogamous relationship with a person, you should insist that your partner wear a condom during intercourse. Sexual transmitted diseases are the fastest growing diseases in the adult community of people who are over fifty and up.

If your partner says no to a condom, be aware that by your consenting to his action, you will be exposing yourself to all of his sexual encounters before you.
