What affects women's Sex life?

It’s not just age, partner’s health and interest in sex too have significant impact on sexual activity among middle-aged and elderly women, say researchers.

Among sexually inactive women, the most common reason was lack of interest in sex with 39 percent of the respondents saying the same.

Thirty-six pct said lack of a partner, 23 pct agreed to physical problem of partner while 11 pct said lack of interest by partner.

Only nine percent were inactive from personal physical problems.

According to the researchers, sexual activity was defined as any activity that was arousing, including masturbation.

"Our findings indicate that a substantial portion of women are interested and engaged in sexual activity as they age," said lead author Alison Huang, MD, assistant professor in internal medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

"Clinicians should consider a woman's overall health when addressing concerns about sexual inactivity.

However, treatment directed solely at improving women's sexual functioning, such as medications, may not substantially affect their activity if partner issues also are not addressed," Huang added.

The study appears in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Orgasms are good for You

Girls who get lots of sexual thrills are also the most likely to hit career and health highs, claims Britain's first orgasm coach, as reported in the The Sun.

Psychologist Lisa Turner, below, says the right type of orgasm will "massively increase your energy."

Studies suggest that 28 per cent of women rarely, or never, achieve full orgasm, and many resort to faking it - as Meg Ryan did in that famous When Harry Met Sally scene.

But the real thing won't just help your sex life, Lisa says good orgasms also boost health and concentration and help women perform better at work, reports The Sun.

The clitoral orgasm "In the past it was not recognised that women needed clitoral stimulation in order to achieve orgasm.

Now this is commonly appreciated but often to the detriment to the other kinds of orgasms that women can achieve."

The Vaginal Orgasm "This type involves the "G" spot and other highly sensitive areas that are inside the vagina. These orgasms are very different and can be either more or less intense physically, but energetically they raise your energy rather than deplete it."

Multiple Orgasms "Where you stay at the height of sexual excitement such that you have a series of orgasms one after another. just like a string of pearls."

The Full Body Orgasm "These are rare in most women. Not because they are difficult to achieve. With the right training, and practice anyone can achieve a full body orgasm - including men.

These can go on for anything up to 30 minutes, although several minutes is more usual.

She says the most common block to ultimate enjoyment is past trauma, or an inability to let go.
