Here are some ways to alleviate some of the issues we face as we get older:
- Keep fit - any exercise is good exercise and will help you enjoy life and sex more
- Cigarettes and alcohol - limit your use as they can affect your sex drive as well as your health
- Lubrication - keep a bottle of water-based lube in the bedroom
- Try new positions - this can help alleviate physical issues as well as spice things up
- If you are older and single - be confident about your experience and expertise
- Oestrogen rich diet - alleviate hormonal changes by eating a diet enriched with oestrogen e.g. raspberries, celery, seeds and grains like oats, sunflower seeds, linseeds, grapes, legumes like peas, chickpeas, lentils and soya
- If you feel you may be experiencing menopause seek medical advice as there is hormone replacement therapy and supplements available
