An active and healthy sex life is an important, and often overlooked part of healthy aging. We are sexual beings with desires and needs that thrive through the emotional connection of sexual intimacy.

Many different things like chronic pain, mobility, weakness, medications, surgeries, reduced blood flow, heat sensitivity, or fatigue are a threat to being sexually active – both physically and emotionally.
