Best ways to have a healthy sex life after 40

  1. Choose comfortable positions.Aches and pains tend to appear as if out of nowhere as we age, so it’s essential that you reevaluate your bedroom routine if you find that your usual positions just aren’t cutting it.
  2. Make sex a consistent part of your routine.While you certainly shouldn’t be having sex when you don’t feel like it, making time for intimacy may make you more open to getting frisky in the future. According to a 2017 study published in Psychological Science, couples had more relationship satisfaction for up to two weeks following sex – and considering that feeling happy in your relationship is a key factor in wanting to have sex to begin with, this ends up being a self-perpetuating cycle.
  3. Experiment with new activities in the bedroom.

    According to a 2017 review of research published in the Journal of Sex Research, more sexually satisfied couples reported engaging in a greater variety of sex acts than their less-satisfied counterparts.

  4. Make sex more fun.The same Chapman University study found that sexually satisfied couples reported that their sex was both passionate and playful, so don’t be afraid to get silly in the sack.
  5. Spend more time snuggling.A 2014 study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found one key ingredient to long-term relationship success: post-sex snuggling. According to the research, there’s a strong link between “post-sex affectionate behavior (e.g., cuddling, caressing, shared intimacy) and sexual and relationship satisfaction.”
