As we grow older, we naturally begin to witness changes in our sexual desires. With old age, one’s emotional as well as physical needs change but the need for intimacy remains ageless.
Physical intimacy is lost over the time due to age related changes like a change in one’s hormone levels which diminishes sex drive. Women for example experience dryness in their vagina which makes penetration more difficult and also painful for the woman. While men might not experience as strong an erection as they used to.
Notwithstanding, one should not let such limitations come into their way to have a good sex life in old age. Here are three interesting sex positions that old people will ever find useful in bed.
Spooning position:
Spooning sex positions will perfectly suit for old lovers. Often, in a spooning sex position, a male partner locates behind the female partner, and at least one of his hands is free, giving him one more advantage to pet her burning body. Such positions perfectly suit for a slow sex, which is quite gentle and sensual. Research has found that this position is good for women who have back pain from either sitting too long or while trying to reach their toes.
The Missionary position
It is one of the most basic sex positions that allows the man to be in control and doesn’t require a lot of athleticism. One variation for older adults is for the man to put most of his upper body weight on his arms and avoid putting all of his weight on the female.

A variation of this position can also be tried with the woman sitting on the edge of a chair or on a low set bed and the man kneeling as he penetrates her. This puts less stress on the major joints and can also be an enjoyable position as it allows clitoral stimulation.
Scissors position
In this position, the woman is lies on the edge of the bed with a wedged pillow under her lower back, raising her pelvis. The man penetrates by standing in front of her and thrusting slowly using the entire body and not just his hips. This position is great for people with lower back pain as the pillow supports the woman’s lower back and the man puts little or no pressure on his.
A great variation to this position is the woman spreading her legs and allowing the man to bend over her while thrusting. This increases intimacy between the couple and helps in good penetration.
