100 Senior Dating Tips

Finding love is such a special feeling, no matter if you’re a teenager or a senior. Being an experienced person, who has already been through a marriage, makes getting back in the dating scene a special situation. People start dating in their senior years for different reasons than younger people. Being single after a divorce, or the loss of a loved one, puts a lot of strain on the dating process. Although the dating rules apply to all the age groups, senior dating is a little different. Here are some helpful tips that will help you get back into the dating scene.

How to keep your sex life active and new

Having a happy and fulfilling relationship is almost a science. There are so many elements that make or break a relationship. Sure, love, understanding, respect and compromise are vital, but there’s another part that makes a big difference, and that’s the sex life. People tend to underestimate the importance of having a satisfying sex life, and avoid talking openly about it. The reason might be their shyness, their education, the fact that the sole purpose of sex between two spouses was considered to be procreation. This might be the case especially for people in their senior years.

Studies have shown that having more sex increases you life expectancy by almost 8 years. Being sexually active helps create a strong and intimate bond with the spouse. When we are making love, our organism releases various hormones that prevent depression. By having more and better sex, not only does out health benefit, but it also has an impact on our self esteem, and strengthens our relationship. Here are some ways to improve your sex life, to keep it active and fresh.

1. Live a healthy life! The first step to having a fulfilling and healthy sex life, is for you to be in good physical shape. If you have a healthy diet, you exercise and rest enough, your sexual performances will improve.
2. Communicate! Don’t be ashamed to talk freely to your partner. Both men and women are sometimes too shy or ashamed to talk to their spouse about certain problems and insecurities they might have. This can lead to frustration and can create a gap between the two spouses.
3. Don’t ignore problems. If there are certain problems that prevent you from having a satisfactory sex life, or a sex life at all, identify them. See a doctor, a couple therapist or a sexologist, and do your best to resolve them. A life together without intimacy is empty.
   For Men
   For Woman
4. The more the better! Studies show that people who have sex three (or more) times a week can make look ten years younger. This is only available for people who are in a loving relationship, casual sex doesn’t count.
5. Ask your spouse on a date. It may sound strange to ask the person you’ve been married to for years, to go out on a date. But it’s a simple and effective way to bring back the emotions and feeling you had when you were just starting out.
6. What are your fantasies? If you’re going to have a fresh and exciting sex life, you’d better leave your shame at the bedroom door. Tell your partner your fantasies, and how he can make them true. Be open minded, guide your spouse and get what you want in bed.
7. What are your partner’s fantasies? Sex is a game for two, so you have to be aware of your loved one’s needs as well as yours. Ask your partner what he wants in bed. Sexual fantasies are a delicate subject, and they can be very different from one person to the other. Not all men dream about their wife dressing out as a nurse, and not all women fantasies about their husbands playing the bad cop part. Find out what he wants, and try to make it happen.
8. Exchange roles! Did you ever ask yourself who should be the boss in bed? The answer is: both of you! Not at the same time of course. Take turns so you can both enjoy being the boss in bed.
9. live an active lifestyle: Inactivity can decrease your sex drive, so be sure to stay active.
10. Change the scenery! Get out of the house, get a hotel room, go to a remote place and have a sexy picnic. Changing the setting you usually have sex in, can bring a new feel to the whole experience.
11. Cooperate! It is very important to enjoy the moment, and be responsive when your spouse lets you know they’re in the mood. Be aware of the signs, a sexy smile, a daring caress, and let yourself go with the flow.
12. Turn off the TV! Watching the TV can be a big distraction. Many couples spend most of their free time on the couch, watching TV, when they should just turn it off and enjoy each other.
13. Create an inviting ambiance. Dim the light, put on some sexy music, light some candles, and some incense sticks and just some ideas.
14. Redecorate the bedroom. If these simple decorations aren’t enough to turn your bedroom in a place where you enjoy going to for love making, then change it altogether. Get a new bed, with satin sheets, add fancy drapes, get rid of the kids toys, the piles of laundry, and even the TV.
15. Perfect timing. Not every moment is a good moment for sex. It not just the daily routine and the personal problems that we all have, that can make it impossible to get in the mood. We also need to be aware of our body and sexual biorhythm.
16. Have a drink.It’s ok to loosen up by having one glass of wine. It can help you relax and forget about inhibitions. But having too much alcohol in your bloodstream can affect your sexual performance.
17. Communicate during sex. Talking during sex can be a powerful tool, and it can spice up your sex life. You need to be very careful how to use it, so it won’t make your partner uncomfortable. Get your partner to open up and find out what is ok for you to say.
18. Sexy foods. There are plenty of foods that are not only delicious but aphrodisiacs. Eggplants, figs, fennel seeds or parsley are just a few of the foods that contain natural hormones and increase sexual vigor.
19. Use sex toys. Try different things and add some playfulness to your lovemaking. There are many sex toys that can help take your sex life to another level. If you don’t want people to see you enter a sex store, just buy online. Make sure you ask for your partner’s opinion and choose something you both like.
20. Watch porn together. This can be a very enjoyable and educational experience for the both of you. Usually women are more reluctant to watch porn, especially with their spouse. Here are some ways to get your wife to consider watching porn with you.
21. Have a longer foreplay longer. Foreplay is a very important part of the love making experience. It helps both partners get in the mood and set the scene for what is to follow.
22. Post-sex cuddle. If foreplay is crucial to set the mood, post sex cuddle is vital to the bonding of the partners. Women especially need to be held after sex, men prefer to sleep. Here’s what specialists say about post sex cuddling.
23. Be gentle. No matter if you want to persuade your spouse to use sex toys, to cuddle more, or to make your fantasies come true, be gentle. Be careful not to offend or make your partner uncomfortable. It’s all about making the best of your lovemaking.
24. Keep trying. If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work, just be patient. Having a fulfilling sex life will take some consistent work. Don’t settle for an ok sex life, just keep trying and it will pay off eventually.
25. Enjoy each other. Making love to your partner should be an intimate and affectionate expression of your love for each other. Take time to enjoy and make the best of this beautiful experience.
