Should we have sex because we are middle-aged or older? What female doctors teach us in “Textbook of Adult Sexuality.”

In sex that is intended for sexual communication to deepen the intimacy between two people and to confirm their affection for each other, forcing the man to insist on penetration can cause him to lose confidence and lead to painful intercourse for the woman.

What is really important in sex is foreplay. If sex is viewed as a form of communication, foreplay is an important part of intimacy. The more time you spend on foreplay, the more exciting and satisfying it will be.

This book introduces the “Sensate Focus Training” method, which allows you to enjoy sex without being limited to penetration. You and your partner can explore with each other where and how to touch each other to increase each other’s sexual arousal. The goal is to fully enjoy the process of getting to that point, whether there is insertion at the end or not. This is training for enjoying foreplay, which is only a process in sex where the goal is insertion, with closer communication.

Certainly, if it is acceptable to not be able to “insert” or to “break” the penis in the middle of sex, the hurdle to sex will be lowered considerably. If such sex is allowed, it would not be impossible for people to enjoy it at any age.

Of course, sex is for pleasure, but it also has many other benefits, such as communication with your partner and for your own physical and mental health. I would like you to know that.
