Chronic illnesses may change your life, but they do not define who you are.

Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, among other chronic diseases will happen to many of us. Medicine has evolved and kept us alive. What we often need is to learn new strategies to move forward and have a satisfying life.

Our general health impacts our sexual health and vice-versa. Even in the lack of chronic illness, our health will eventually change with age. The American Association of Family Practice presents more information in this article.

Aging can change sex, for the better!

Aging changes our body and our sexual abilities. However, there is more than one way to have great sex. Aging brings the wisdom of life experience, which includes curiosity, creativity, and flexibility. Research shows that the best sex happens when we are in our 60s. Isn’t that an interesting perspective? It sounds counter-intuitive, but this research has been duplicated and shown the same results. Learn how to increase the range of possibilities in your sexual life as you grow older.
