Sex in our older years is heavily leveraged by having a willing partner. Too many women seem to think having sex ended with menopause. If they are married they unilaterally terminate their husband's sex life, leaving the husband to make a choice, maintain sexless fidelity and stay married or go outside the marriage for what they want or need, risking divorce over a situation they didn't create. Those wives don't seem to care they cause tremendous levels of anger and resentment from their husbands, men who spent many years dedicated to supporting and assuring the well being of their wives.

This channel is a service to humanity.
I do agree we devote way too much time to the screen but if I didn’t spend a lot of time on you tube I would not have found this channel.
My two cents as a heathy 67 year old male is there was a time I would run marathons. I don’t run marathons anymore nor do I want to.
Sex at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 definitely all good but definitely not the same.
Wonderful thoughts.
Thank you.

I am 64 and my wife is 67. Thanks to HRT for both of us and PDE 5 inhibitors for me, as needed, we have actually been having more sex and enjoying it as much or more than we used to...and we have been together for over 41 years. We made a choice to actively try to keep our sexuality as we age, and although we still occasionally have some issues, we are both very satisfied with our sex and plan to continue as long as possible, as frequently as 3-4 times (or more, even) per week. GREAT topic and an excellent video as always. Thank you Dr. Malik! 😊

My girlfriend and I are both 65. We are both extremely active with hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming and weight training. Neither of us have any health issues, nor do we take any medications. Our sex life is beyond amazing! Without your health you have nothing. That would certainly apply to a good sex life as well.

[joshuabrande]

Making love is better than sex. As we get older, making love morphs into something deeper. The closeness, nurturing, looking after one another, comforting one another, being there for each other. Trusting and respecting each other, feeling safe. Love and laughter. It's better than sex.

[johnnybbgunner]

I am 63 and widowed for the last two years. I was cut off from sex entirely and not by my choice. The hard part now is trying at dating at my age. I am very healthy and fit and would not want to be alone forever as I miss companionship.

[eliseomacconi]

Sex is a very delicate issue in each age; a good sexuality depends on many factors. I’m 70 and if you believe it or not my sexuality has never been so good but you’ve to be careful in many circumstances such as food and drinks, weight and fisical exercises, follow a low carb diet, avoid food rich in estrogen, eat eggs every day, don’t worry about cholesterol, take boron as supplement and many other factors. But don’t think to have good sex with your old wife! I know to be crude but it’s true, to have a good sex is extremely important have a special partner who deeply loves to make sex, no matter how old she is, even better old than young. This is my experience. Thanks to everybody who reads me.

I am alarmed by the number of couples who totally give up on sex in their 60s and 70s. I know health is a big issue, but several folks couples have mentioned that their spouse just has no interest and one partner is terribly lonely

[hogdog]

Both of us are 68 this year, married 42 years. Having the best sex of our lives.

[zoomboy]

Being 71 myself I have found that sex after 65 is much safer if you pull off the road.

[terryrose]

Yes, people are becoming too disconnected. Social media has taken the place of actual human contact. Loneliness is literally killing people. Physical contact is crucial for good health.

[Jestunes]

Yes menopause is the worst thing for a marriage. My wife stopped having sex with me over 10 years ago and has for many years put me in a deep depression. Thankfully i watch porn in my bedroom (yeah menopause caused different bedrooms too). It makes for a healthy sex life. Since we're both retired we own a house together, selling it would make us both homeless so we treat each others as room mates. I am lucky to have a great relationship with God. He told me he would always be there for me and he is.
Incredible how informative you are in many subjects. I'm a new subscriber and happy to know you have many videos. Good to see a beautiful woman is also an incredible Dr. Wishing you and your family a lovely day.

It’s not about the sex, it’s about intimacy. To hold someone or hug someone I think is far more important. I have lost the intimacy over the last 15 years now to the point that my wife and I barely talk to each other let alone touch! We are now at the precipice in our marriage and it will soon end

[veradrummond]

I think oral sex is the key to a great sex life. It doesn't require as much tax on your body to perform, is often more pleasurable, less taxing on the body, and in many ways more intimate.

[SFolkes]

Yes, please discuss women's sexual issues over 60. Their partners need to understand. Look, aging is just a time of strong motivation for improvement - diet, physical and mental exercise, sex - everything. There are so many options, and enough of them are effective. The process itself is an adventure, and positive results the reward. If I only knew at 25 what I know now!

[michaelb]

I'm 46, and this is why I work out at least 3 times a week. I want to stay in good shape, and have the little guy to keep functioning well for as long as possible😉

[daver]

This is a very good video Rena, as a man getting up in age and no longer working and having a wife that no longer wants us to have sex it is very depressing.

[fredsmith]

Thank you Rena for pointing out the obvious ... and how to age gracefully ....

[herbietdi]

I'm 61, my wife is 62. We often talk about what it might be like to be still having sex into our 70s and beyond.

[MyMySharona]

Great topic, this video, would love to hear more on it. Not enough talk about the positive stories about sex in later years. Just coming up on 50 and in peri menopause, my Dr ran my labs and they caught me and found my Progesterone and testosterone were both low. Im on low doses now of both, Bio identical hormones, and all the sudden I have a libido I have never had in my life and my husband was low libido already. Went from once every other wk to almost daily, sometimes more then once a day, its incredible. Husband is now on testosterone and we are in sync with a high sex drive after almost 20 yrs together, its truly miraculous.
