There are
still many people who believe that women lose their sexual
responsiveness after menopause. Still others feel that older
women should refrain from sexual intercourse for the sake of
dignity or propriety. Fortunately, today such prejudices are
fast disappearing as the sexual myths of former ages are
replaced with modern scientific knowledge. Neither women nor
men have to forego satisfying sexual relationships because of
advancing age.
A weaker, but still enjoyable
response
In older women the sexual response
described above remains essentially the same. Naturally, older
people lose some of their former strength, and many of their
reactions become slower. In a woman, there are also certain
changes in the sex organs that affect her
response. |
