Senior Planet’s “Intercourse at Our Age” column normally presents one detailed query and Joan Worth’s detailed reply. However two or thrice a 12 months, she assemble brief questions that want solely temporary solutions, referred to as “Quickies.”
Quickie #1: Intercourse Toy Etiquette
“I’m a widower beginning to date girls once more. I’ve a sizeable toy locker that my late spouse and I loved utilizing. These are prime quality toys, completely cleaned after each use. Is it acceptable to supply them to new lovers? Or ought to I buy new toys for every new associate? Thanks in your sage recommendation on the subject of senior sexuality.”
Joan responds:
You don’t know the way a brand new lover would react to being introduced with a set of lovingly used and well-cleaned toys. She may reply with enthusiasm, or she may discover it creepy. Shopping for a brand new toy by yourself is dangerous — you don’t know what your new lover would really like. I recommend saying, “Would you prefer to deliver your favourite intercourse toy to our subsequent date? I’d like to be taught what you want and help in pleasuring you in the way in which you get pleasure from.” If that works out, you would open the subsequent dialogue: “I’ve a set of toys that you just may get pleasure from. Would you prefer to see what I’ve?”
Quickie #2: Oral Hurts My Jaw
“My boyfriend, 74, and I, 77, are having the most effective orgasms of our lives, with out penetration. That is what we each need. I really like giving him oral intercourse to arouse him, however when he will get nearer to orgasm, he likes me to suck the tip exhausting. This will go on for some time, and it hurts my jaw and generally even my ears! It’s fairly uncomfortable, however I don’t need to cease when he’s shut. How can I velocity up that stage of shifting towards orgasm?”
Joan responds:
I hope you’ve instructed him the reality about your discomfort so the 2 of you’ll be able to strive some workarounds. Two recommendations: 1. When he will get shut, swap out of your mouth to your lubed hand, squeezing and releasing the tip the way in which he likes. 2. Incorporate a vibrator. There are various nice vibrators made for penises and others, like Magic Wand and Volta, that work for any genitals. Switching from mouth to vibrator can provide him the depth he wants. Speak to him — work out a plan.
Quickie #3: Spouse is Embarrassed
“My spouse and I’ve been fortunately married for 44 years and nonetheless get pleasure from a terrific intercourse life. However these days, my spouse is embarrassed about me giving her oral intercourse. If she permits me to do it, she enjoys it immensely. More often than not, nonetheless, she won’t let me as a result of she’s embarrassed. What recommendations do you could have?”
Joan responds:
Have you learnt what she’s embarrassed about, precisely? That’s the lacking a part of the puzzle. When you’ve got intercourse spontaneously fairly than planning forward, she might fear that she doesn’t style nice if she’s been gardening or figuring out, for instance. If you happen to plan for intercourse and each of you arrive on the mattress showered and keen, this may alleviate the issue. I’m guessing, as a result of till you understand the explanation, we are able to’t determine the answer. Ask her!
Quickie #4: How Can I Please My Spouse?
“At 60, my spouse and I’ve intercourse about as soon as per week, however it isn’t what I’d name good. I really like and want her much more than I did 35 years in the past after we wed. I get the impression she isn’t having fun with intercourse. She has to make use of lubricant. I supply oral intercourse, which I get pleasure from performing significantly, nonetheless she declines each time. How can I make intercourse extra satisfying for her?”
Necessary: lack of lubrication is not an indication that she’s not having fun with intercourse.
Joan responds:
You say you “get the impression,” that means you haven’t talked candidly about this. Solely she is aware of how one can make intercourse extra satisfying for her. Perhaps the form of intercourse you’re used to doesn’t deliver her probably the most pleasure now. Perhaps oral doesn’t really feel pretty much as good because it used to. You’ve obtained to speak about it, take heed to what feels good to her now, and what doesn’t. Necessary: lack of lubrication is not an indication that she’s not having fun with intercourse. As girls age, they lubricate much less. It’s hormonal, not associated to arousal in any respect. Get a superb high quality lubricant and mechanically apply it for any form of genital contact.
Speaking about Intercourse
All my solutions right here encourage the query writers to speak brazenly with their companions. Some suggestions from The Final Information to Intercourse After 50: The right way to Keep — or Regain — a Spicy, Satisfying Intercourse Life:
