Can elderly women have orgasms after their menopause?
Sharilyn
I'm curious because I heard of cases where old women date young men and rarely marry them. I heard the ones that go after young men do it because they can satisfy them. And the young man might be with her for her money.

Yes. And men can knock up fertile women well into their 90s (as long as they can get it up)Men actually get the "Curse" of old age and orgasm, since the prostate continues to grow and causes erectile dysfunction, and its difficult for a man to orgasm without an erection (yet, not unheard of)--That is another reason older women seek younger men, because all the men in their age group lost the ability to perform with a 4 hour erection, even with viagra!

The geriatric population is more sexually active than most people think. Yes, elderly women can have orgasms post menopause as orgasms are achieved through mechanical stimulation rather than hormonal changes. Elderly people enjoy sex activity just like anyone else and as long as they are safe with their methods and are aware of certain health conditions, they can take measures to ensure pleasurable activities. A little fact: STD incidence has increased dramatically in the elderly population due to lack of protection [condoms]. Because fertility is no longer an issue post menopause, the use of condoms is decreased and because a lot of elderly people are also immunocompromised [weakened immune system] and/or have other health issues [like diabetes for example = prolonged healing time], their signs and symptoms may vary. This brings up an interesting topic of conversation for your [and everyone else's folks]: Time for the sex talk but this time around, you're informing your elders. It is an important conversation to have because a lot of old fashioned ideas of protection have changed over the last 30+ years. It may be an uncomfortable conversation - giving your folks "the talk" but it may save them a lot of unnecessary treatment down the line.

Some women falsely believe that menopause signals the end of their sex lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. Menopause is the end of fertility. It is not the end of a woman being a sexual being that requires intimacy and affection. The simple fact of the matter is that orgasm after menopause is quite possible. While achieving orgasm after menopause is possible, it might not necessarily be as easy to achieve as it was in the pre-menopausal days. There are some physical changes that go along with menopause that make this so. Some of the issues that might need to be overcome include:· Lack of desire. The simple fact of the matter is that libido can decrease incredibly with menopause. The hormonal changes that take place during this time of life tend to make sexual desire drop a whole lot.· Pain and dryness. When estrogen levels decrease, vaginal dryness is quite common. Unfortunately, this can lead to painful intercourse.· Weight gain. The water retention and weight gain that can sometimes go along with the menopausal stage might add to a feeling of lack of attractiveness.· Feeling changes. Arousal and orgasm might be harder to attain after menopause arrives. The hormonal changes are generally to blame for this.· Fatigue. Hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings and irritability can all add up to fatigue. This can quite often add to a reduced sexual drive. Extremely tired people don't necessarily have the greatest interest in intercourse. While there are obstacles that stand in the way of orgasm after menopause, each of them can be overcome in one form or fashion. Women who want to enjoy normal sexual activity following menopause will find certain steps they take can help. These include:· Letting go of the "taboo" – Just because menopause has arrived, doesn't mean a sex life needs to be over. Couples can be and very likely should remain intimate. Unless there is a medical condition that prevents sexual activity, taboo need not apply here.· Positive self-image. Women who work to retain their self-esteem and take menopause with the right attitude tend to do a bit better embracing sex after its arrival. It might take a little time to get used to the changes, but rest assured it can be done. The right attitude can go a long way in helping increase libido and arousal possibilities.· Compensating for the estrogen loss. Hormone replacement therapy may or may not be the answer, but there are other options, too. Lubricants can help with the pain and dryness. Kegel exercises are useful for helping the body retain its muscle tone and can even help in the production of natural lubricants.· Increased foreplay. Menopausal women might require extra stimulation to achieve arousal. Increased foreplay, cuddling and coaxing when mixed with proper lubricants can go a very long way. This can also help with the attainment of orgasm after menopause. The truth is achieving an orgasm might be harder than it once was, but it is not at all out of the question. While sex after menopause might be a bit different than it was before, orgasm after menopause is more than possible. Women and their partners very likely need to exercise patience with each other, but it will be worth it for maintaining intimacy and closeness. It is very important for women to remember that pregnancy is still possible in the pre-menopausal stage. It is typically recommended that some form of birth control remain in the picture for at least 12 months after the last menstrual cycle. Measures, of course, should be taken to prevent sexually transmitted diseases if they are a concern with the partner involved. With patience, persistence and some measures of compensation, orgasm after menopause is quite feasible. It's wise to be prepared for some differences in drive and sensation, but many couples find sex after "the change" is just as enjoyable if not more so than it was before.

Yes, definitely. Orgasm relies on the function of the nerves and the brain, not on how much estrogen you have. You can't assume someone's intentions for being with someone who is younger or older. Everyone has their own reasons, and for a lot of people age has nothing to do with it.

That sounds funny but check out the heath magazine for all health related topics including menopausekonstantin. co. nr

I imagine they can, I mean, their sex drive doesn't always die and sometimes improves after menopause. Also, all those nerve endings are still there.
Jacinda
of course! you can orgasm until you are 120! its not like your clit and g-spot just stop working after you stop getting periods.
Cletus
