The Sexual Response - The Female Response

The Sexual Response in Older Women

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.
