Sexual Health And The Difficulties Of Getting Older

Sometimes we associate getting older with a lack of intimacy and sexual passion in our lives. This is for a few reasons – for some reason it is deemed unacceptable to see older people being intimate together in the way that younger people are fine to be and perhaps it also to do with the more private natural of elder generations in society. It could also be related to the fact that sex becomes more difficult as we get older and there are increasing problems surrounding sexual intercourse that can be troublesome.

 

But this does not mean that all sexual feelings completely disappear as we get older – in fact they often still remain, and it is only this judgmental cliché that makes us think that older people cannot be passionate. But the truth of the matter is that of course they can, it can just be a little more difficult because there is a huge range of complications that can make it difficult. So the important this is to find ways to maintain the passion and spark that you have had your whole life. Here are the most important things to remember if you want to keep the passion in your life.

 

The number one thing that you need to remember if you want to keep love and sex as a priority in your life is that you should be regularly communication with your partner. Talking to your partner is the best way to air any doubt, worries or niggles that can eventually develop into something that is much larger. Set aside time to chat now and again and discuss sex. You can talk openly about what you want from your sex life and what they want from you. This can make the embarrassing process a little easier as you are both aware of each other’s desires and needs. And remember that you must be very honesty about the things that you are experiencing both physically and emotionally.

 

People of any age should be aware of how to practice safe sex, and remember that the things that you need to bear in mind will inevitably change as you get older. If you are past the stage of being able to conceive and have been with the same partner for a long time, it is fine to not use a condom as long as you are both free some sexually transmitted infections (STIs). But you must use a condom if you are going to be with a new partner, as you don’t know if they may have STIs and these can be very damaging for older people.

 

For men it is true that testosterone levels naturally take a dip as you get older. Testosterone is one of the most important factors in sex as it is one of the primary stimulants in a man’s body that makes him want to have sex. It is true that as men get older they are more likely to have erectile problems including that the penis may take longer and need more stimulation to get erect, and may only be able to achieve erections for a certain period of time. If this is afflicting you, it’s worth talking to your doctor about it.

 

For women there are many problems surrounding the onset of the menopause. Once again this is an issue that you can talk to your doctor about. For many women, the menopause is actually a good trait in terms of sex for the fact that it means they can have unprotected sex with their partner and not fear getting pregnant once again.

Tips For Staying Safe And Healthy Around Diwali

Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights – a five day celebration that happens every year sometime between mid-October and mid-November. It is a very important day spiritually for Hindus and one of the most important festivals of the year, as it is celebrated with family and brings people together. Strangely enough, Diwali is actually also considered to be one of the most dangerous Hindu festivals as there is often the use of fireworks and other fire-based amusements such as firecrackers. These clearly have the ability to cause significant damage to skin and eyes if they are used incorrectly – and sometimes the joy of the celebration leads to fairly lax considerations of health and safety.

 

So it is extremely important that if you are going to take part in the Diwali celebration you follow precautions and are made aware of the dangers that you can face. You must always think of safety first even when you are having a great time. The first thing that is important to remember is that you must avoid any types of synthetic and loose clothing. It is well known that synthetic materials are generally far more flammable and loose clothing also has the likelihood of catching fire without you noticing it. If you can avoid wearing these sorts of things it will be very good for your general safety.

 

There are also a number of other safety considerations that you should think about – remember that it also pays to prepare for the worst. Keep a first aid kit handy so that any problems that arise can be tended to immediately. It’s also worth having something nearby to douse potential flames such as a bucket of sand or water. Asthma sufferers are particularly at risk, so make sure that if you do have this condition, you keep your inhaler with you at all times. It’s also worth noting that contact lenses are best avoided as well.

 

If you have children, remember that they are especially vulnerable around Diwali, even if they are able to enjoy it like nobody else can. Children are erratic and impulsive and it is best to remove any possibility that they can do themselves harm. They should always be taught to light firecrackers at arm’s length away and to be very careful when handling them. There is nothing more dangerous for a child’s own safety than themselves when it comes to playing with fire. Exercise caution at all times and make sure your child doesn’t get hurt.

 

It’s worth thinking about whether the firecrackers that you are using are going to be up to the right standards of health and safety – as there is a very high demand for cheap firecrackers around the festival, but at what cost? The problem is that cheap firecrackers are also likely to have lackadaisical health and safety standards involved in their production. This is an issue that is often overlooked because people are more interested in having a good time than looking after their health. The best idea is to buy firecrackers in boxes that have appropriate health and safety regulations.

 

Remember that even with taking all the appropriate safety measures, you can still find yourself in a situation that is very dangerous – and indeed mishaps can still occur no matter how careful you are. If they do and you need to treat anyone, remember the importance of hygiene, use water to wash any wounds. Bandage the affected area unless there are significant burns or bleeding, in which case it is always best practice to go and see the doctor.
