Best Sex Positions to Enjoy as You Age

Age can be a tricky subject for a lot of people… in the past no one would have expected someone over 40 to be having sex. But those times have passed. These days we all know a healthy sex life is part of life… no matter how old you are. Hence, age is just a number. But aren’t you interested to know what sex positions are best for someone your age? Bear in mind, as you get older some things may not be the same, like for instance, being as flexible as you once were. You might need to adjust as you go along. Even so don’t feel limited by these recommendations…remember there is no need to have sex like a 60 year old if you can do it like you were 30…wink*

The 30’s is often when a lot of women get pregnant. As a result, many are left with pain in their pelvis even up to two years after pregnancy (obviously carrying a human being in their body can disrupt the pelvis). This pain occurs because of the joints located in the sacrum and the iliac bones. If you are one of those women, then you know how painful certain positions can be. For this reason, you will need to try positions allowing you to be on all fours so you can be a lot more comfortable. Placing your hands and knees on the floor or the bed keeps the pelvis in a neutral position.

Sometimes pelvic pain is not a problem but back pain is. The spooning position is great in this case, since you will be lying down side by side with your partner. You can switch directions to try something new. Women will also be able to control the depth and rhythm in this position not to mention easy access to clitoral stimulation. Hence, the numerous benefits this can offer you.

In your 40’s the back pain can increase, especially in your sciatica wherein the pain in your lower back goes all the way to your legs. Spooning and being in all fours can alleviate the pain. But if you want to try something else, go for the reverse cowgirl. Have your man lie down on his back while you straddle him with your back to his face. Just be careful not to lean forward because it can increase the pain. The flatiron is another good position for you to try. This time around, the woman lies face down with her butt up in the air. Place a pillow beneath her chest to make it easy for her spine.

In your 50’s you will probably experience menopause and so you can experience some vaginal dryness and it can make sex painful. Then again, you could have pelvic prolapsed. It occurs when your bladder presses against your vagina. So you will probably need some extra lubrication. Likewise, go for a sex position where you are sitting on his lap and face to face with another. The good thing about this is you will be able to control the depth and rhythm according to your needs.

If your knees and hips hurt too much, avoid the cowgirl and positions where you are on all fours. Instead, try standing while your partner penetrates you from behind.

On the other hand, if your back is the problem arching your back could only make it worse. It might be best to lie down on your back with a pillow beneath your hips. The position is great for easier access and better support of your joints.
