After entering menopause, some people think that they are aging and not as healthy as they were when they were young. Because of the decline in sex hormone secretion, they think that they have no sexual ability, so they take the initiative to avoid any sexual exposure, sexual requirements and sexual contact, and sexual life will naturally stop. Is it unnecessary to have sex after menopause?
In fact, if a person is healthy and both husband and wife are interested in sex appeal, his sexual function can be maintained until he is 70 ~ 90 years old. It has been investigated that 70% of people can still have sex at the age of 70. Foreign scholar Jin and others believe that menopause has no effect on women's sexual life response, and the weakening of sexual level mainly comes from the decline of men's sexual interest. Physiologically speaking, both men and women still have full sexual desire during menopause or after menopause.
Everyone has great individual differences in sexual concepts, interests and abilities. Reasonable arrangement of husband and wife's sexual life during or after menopause is conducive to delaying aging and improving physical and mental health. If sexual life is not properly arranged and sexual intercourse is indecent, it will bring adverse effects to health.
Menopause, although sexual function has declined, both men and women still have sexual desire, and most people also have sexual requirements in physiology. So how should menopause reasonably arrange sexual life to benefit human body and mind?
Scholars at home and abroad believe that sexual intercourse 1 time per week in early menopause is appropriate for most people, but a few people feel too frequent or dissatisfied. Postmenopausal women whose ovarian function is close to disappearing still have certain sexual requirements. At this time, it should be every 10 ~ 15 days. Martin, a foreign scholar, investigated 628 men aged 20-90. After the age of 60, the number of sexual intercourse decreased for five consecutive years, that is, 0.7 times a week for 60-64 years old, 0.4 times a week for 65-74 years old and 0.3 times a week for 75-79 years old. This frequency of sexual intercourse shows that with the increase of human age, sexual desire decreases and the frequency of sexual intercourse decreases accordingly. Therefore, the frequency of sexual life in menopause should be reasonably adjusted and arranged according to age and physical condition. But the arrangement of sexual life also varies from person to person. The proper frequency of husband and wife's sexual life should be based on the principle that both parties will not feel tired the next day after sexual intercourse. In addition, there should be proper restraint in sexual life, because sexual life itself is a kind of physical consumption. Some people have done statistics, and one sexual intercourse is equivalent to the physical consumption of climbing five floors. When excited, the heart rate can be increased to 140 ~ 180 beats/min, and the blood pressure can be increased by 2.67 ~ 5.33 kPa, which will aggravate the heart load. Therefore, patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases should pay more attention to their physical condition during sexual intercourse to avoid illness and sudden death during sexual intercourse. It should be emphasized that the sexual life of menopause is not necessarily satisfied by sexual intercourse, and the intimate feelings, mutual caress and spiritual communication between husband and wife can be regarded as one of the ways of sexual life.
