As we age, natural changes occur that we have to accept like reduced muscle mass, less strength, and losing your hair. Fortunately, less sex doesn't have to be one of these inevitable losses. In fact, a survey published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that in people between 57 and 85, the majority with intimate partners were sexually active well into their 80s.

In general, intimate activity declined with age, but a significant number of men and women reported still engaging in sexual activities into their 70's and even into their 80's.

If you're interested in keeping things rocking and rolling as you age – and who isn't? – there's one thing you need to adjust, your mindset. "Many men focus solely on the physical aspect of sex, so when issues like erectile dysfunction or unpredictable drives arise, it can trigger guilt, anxiety, and frustration," says Dr. Sharon Bober, director of the Sexual Health Program at Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Center.

One way to overcome the barriers to an active sex life is to think less about the act and more about the entire experience. When you emphasize closeness rather than performance, this allows you to become less stressed and more connected to your partner.

5 Ways to Stimulate Your Sex Life

Here are five powerful ways to embrace the experience and make the physical act even better.

1. Focus on the nonsexual

Think about the last time you and your partner just kissed and hugged and explored each other without the goal of sex. Many long-time couples say that they don't cuddle anymore. But here's the things, there's a lot of excitement in those early courting rituals. Foreplay is just as crucial to the overall sexual experience, so don’t let an opportunity for intimacy pass.

2. Recreate date night

Make a date to explore something brand new and nonsexual together. Why not try a new restaurant you've both wanted to check out, start a new hobby together, take a random day roadtrip together, or a quick overnight escape. When you change up your routine, it offers excitement that brings you and your partner closer together. When you pursue romance and novelty as a couple, emotional and physical stimulation follow.

3. Set the Mood

For most people, getting in the mood can't be turned on like a light switch. Set the mood with soothing music, aromatic candles that stimulate the senses, and lighting that creates a dreamy atmosphere. Do something soothing before having sex, such as playing a game or massaging each other, which induces emotional well-being and connection.

4. Fantasize

It's normal to lose some interest in sex, especially as you age. One of the reasons is the connection between our body and mind is out of sync. During these times, it's helpful to engage in the more mental side of sex, such as fantasies and erotic memories. This kind of mental activity is pleasurable without needing physical stimulation. Eventually, it can help your body and mind reconnect.

5. Enhancing Supplements

Adding a natural herbal supplement can help by enhancing your bedroom energy and desire. Supplements may even help you maintain an erection and for a more extended amount of time, satisfying yourself and your partner.

Prostavol's Enhance is designed to awaken your libido and vitality with ingredients like Maca, Panax Ginseng, Tongkat Ali, and L-Arginine, combined with a potent 1,000 mg dose of Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed). You'll feel a sexual energy surge – giving you bedroom stamina and endurance that will last all night.

Taking care of your health is the most important thing you can do to continue to enjoy your healthy sex life. Medical conditions, such as obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure affect sex drive and performance. Exercising regularly and diligently eating a healthy diet will help you stay active in the bedroom at any age.
