Female orgasm at an advanced age

by John

Question:
I had a radical prostectomy several years ago so penetrating sex is out for me. I would like to renew our sexual relationship. Can a woman of 80 have and enjoy a climax as younger women?

Our Answer:
Of course, a radical prostectomy could result in some sexual dysfunction--so manual stimulation rather than actual intercourse may be an option.

Although the quality, frequency, and duration of orgasm tends to change with age, older women can achieve orgasms. Kegel exercises can help strengthen appropriate muscles used during orgasm-and remember, enjoying orgasm has so much to do with romance, setting the stage for intimacy, and removing any pressure to "perform".

Have fun!
