- The Male Response
老齡男性性反應
社會上,有一些人認為性活動是年輕人的特權。確實,他們中某些人甚至不能把老年人想像成有性的生物。但是,男女都不必因為上了年紀而過早放棄了令人滿意的性的關係。

婚內性交年頻率    Annual frequency of marital intercourse over the years

居住在不同國家裏的2個男人,在35年裏仔細記載的婚內性交頻率。圖表說明他們50歲後逐漸減少了性行為。
Two men, living in different countries, over 35 years carefully recorded the frequency of their marital intercourse. The graphs illustrate their diminishing sexual activity after the age of 50.

減弱的而又令人愉悅的性反應
老年男性性行為頻率降低,但是性反應仍保持相同。顯然,老年人沒有從前那樣強壯,許多人反應遲緩。例如,一個60歲的男人沒有他20歲的時候跑得快。但是,並不意味著他根本不能跑。確實,假若他一直有規律地跑步,可能比某些缺乏鍛煉的年輕人有能力跑得更好。對於性行為也是同樣的道理。在一生中一直有性活動的男性到了老年能夠指望很好地延續他們的性交能力。儘管如此,老年人的性活動肯定是有所改變的。
The Sexual Response in Older Men
There are many people in our society who consider sexual activity a privilege of the young. Indeed, some of them cannot even conceive of older persons as sexual beings. However, neither men nor women have to forego satisfying sexual relationships because of advancing age.
A weaker, but still enjoyable response
In older men, the frequency of sexual activity decreases, but the sexual response remains essentially the same. Obviously, older people lose some of their former physical strength, and many of their reactions become slower. For example, a man of sixty cannot run as far and as fast as he could in his twenties. This does not mean, however, that he cannot run at all. Indeed, if he has been practicing regularly he may very well be able to jog along better than certain younger men who lack such practice. The same is true for sexual activity. Men who have been sexually active all their lives can expect to continue sexual intercourse well into old age. Still, certain minor changes have to be expected.
