Open discussion

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

As women get older their bodies hormones change and sex becomes less pleasurable for them. You want to continue an active sex life but it maybe more painful for your wife. I think the best thing is to have an open discussion about your sexual preferences and if there is not any other issues that maybe affecting your sexual lives. If needed you may seek a professional and discuss the your sexual history with them.

Sex is not the only aspect in a couples life and an intimacy can also be obtained with talking and holding and touching and not always have to be about sex.

The best thing to do is to sit down and have this open discussion about sex adn intimacy.
