Want to Be More Sexually Active Over 50? You Might Want to Try This First...
Ok, I Get it…. not everyone is super open to it….
But let’s talk about sex!
(And if you just flinched a little? Good. That means we’re getting somewhere. Of course I don’t mean to hit a nerve, but I guarantee if you’re reading this… you’re very interested in the topic. And you should be.)
Because here’s the honest truth: being over 50 doesn’t mean being done. In fact, for a lot of people, this is the beginning of something better. It’s like they say about fine wine, everything is better with a little bit of age. For example, as we get older, we know ourselves and our partners better, which means more confidence, more self-awareness, and yes, more fun in between the sheets. But if you’ve found that your drive is idling or your body isn’t exactly revving like it used to, you’re not alone… and you’re definitely not out of the game.
Here’s the kicker: wanting to be more sexually active is not just a bedroom problem. It’s a whole-body problem. And guess what? That means the solution isn’t hiding in some overpriced supplement or a commercial for bathtub couples — it’s sitting right here in the gym. (Well, our private, comfy, by-appointment-only studio in Wichita, but you get the point.)
So, what’s really going on?
After 50, a few things change, for both men and women. Our hormones dip, our muscle mass drops, our circulation begins to slow; our damn joints get creaky, and our energy starts to run on dial-up. Add in stress, medications; maybe even some social anxiety or gym embarrassment, and boom: the libido pulls the emergency brake.
But here’s the beautiful truth:
Your sex life isn’t over. It just wants you to warm up first.
And by warm up, I mean get stronger, move better, and feel more confident in your body again.
5 Reasons You Might Want to Start Working Out If You Want More (and Better) Sex Over 50
1. Blood Flow = Bedroom Mojo
Let’s not dance around it… If we get that healthy blood flowing.. it will enhance our performance, stamina, and even arousal. Cardiovascular exercise is the key here. It improves circulation, which can directly improve sexual function for men and women. (Yes, that includes fewer issues like ED and more... let’s call it “enthusiastic” responsiveness.)
2. Mobility Means More Options (Yep I said it.. casual Wink)
When your hips, knees, and back hurt just walking up the stairs, it’s no surprise that anything requiring a bit more creativity feels off-limits. Strength training and mobility work open the door to positional possibilities. The last thing you want is to find the sweet spot, only to suffer an embarrassing cramp because your mobility sucks. Sometimes sex can be exploratory, so being mobile and fit allows our bodies to respond to whatever the situation leads to!
3. Confidence Is the Best Aphrodisiac
You don’t need six-pack abs to feel sexy. You need strength. Posture. The ability to move without pain. That builds confidence… and confidence is magnetic. When you feel good in your skin, you show up differently. That matters.
4. Energy, Mood, and Hormones Get a Boost
Exercise (especially strength and interval training) helps to regulate cortisol and increase endorphins, dopamine, and testosterone. These all play a role in desire, mood, and connection. Not to mention, regular movement can improve sleep, reduce stress, and help fight off depression and anxiety, which are the ultimate mood-killers.
5. Sex Is Physical. You Should Be, Too.
Let’s be real: sex is a physical act. You need endurance. Balance. Core strength. Flexibility. You can’t exactly “Netflix and chill” if your back seizes up every time you lean forward. Want to enjoy sex more? Start treating it like the sport it is.
