University of Waterloo researchers say that the closer you are feeling to the age which you actually are the less likely you may be to be satisfied with your sex life. A healthy sex life is possible to maintain as you age. Leading a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and a positive attitude can nurture a healthy sex life in your elderly years.
It has been reported by the University of Waterloo that your sex life may be only as old as you are feeling. The researchers say that it is not as likely you will be satisfied with your sex life if you feel very close to the age which you actually are. A better quality sex life was reported by those who did not feel as close to their chronological age.
Steven Mock, who is an associate professor in Recreation and Leisure Studies at University of Waterloo, said this research showed there was a large impact on how people felt about the quality of their sex life if they felt younger. This also influenced their interest in sex. It seems that for people who are middle aged and older feeling young at heart can actually make a significant difference in the bedroom.
This study has been published in The Journal of Sex Research. It has been observed that in older people the less positive their views of aging are, the less sexual activity was rated as enjoyable by them. Feelings of being older was also associated with less interest in sex. It seems that nurturing youthful feelings may actually pay off in a more satisfied sex life as you age.
