11 Ways to Keep the Passion Alive at Each Stage of Life

Your 20s

In a brand new relationship, your body surges with phenylethylamine, aka the lust hormone. Sadly it only lasts for about 18 months so it’s never too early to keep the passion alive with your partner. Via Unsplash

Communication is Key

Talk with your partner. During intimacy, share your thoughts about your sex life. Be honest about what you're experiencing both physically and emotionally. Communication should last throughout your lifetime. arthurhidden/fotolia

Clip Your Toenails in Private

Clip your toenails and floss in private. Close the bathroom door while you use it. Try changing clothes separately. This way, being naked together will be more sexual than just an ordinary occurrence. Alliance/fotolia

Your 40s

By now, you really know each other and intimacy can sometimes fall by the wayside. But you two have most likely been through numerous challenges and stayed together. Plus in your 40s, your children may be older, giving you more time together. william87/fotolia

Intimacy Doesn’t Just Take Place in the Bedroom

Make Sex a Priority

Keep Communicating

As you get older, your sexual preferences can change. Don't be afraid to communicate to your partner what you'd prefer now. Show him how much you enjoy it by communicating. And remember communication isn’t just talking. WavebreakmediaMicro/fotolia

Your 50s

In your 50s, you may be experiencing an empty nest for the first time. You can have sex anytime you choose and not worry about getting pregnant if you’ve gone through menopause. Embrace this new decade with an attitude of fun and new experiences to enjoy. Monkey Business/fotolia

Don’t Settle for Painful Sex

When women reach menopause, their estrogen levels decrease. Vaginal dryness or lower sexual arousal can result, which can make for painful sex. Get painful sex treated, you don’t have to put up with it. There are several treatment options available, so it’s important to talk with your doctor. WavebreakMediaMicro/fotolia

Stay Healthy

Exercise regularly, eat healthy, don’t smoke and work to reduce stress. All of these will make you feel good – and sexy – even in your 50s. WavebreakmediaMicro/fotolia

Your 60s

At this stage you have built and sustained a solid foundation in your relationship. Partners at this age share mutual respect and have deliberately maintained their relationship for many years. Now is the time to build upon that and not take one another for granted. pershing/fotolia

Use It or Lose It

Having frequent sex can actually maintain interest in sex. And it’s good for vaginal lubrication and elasticity of vaginal tissues. Use Fiera for a few minutes in advance of sexual intimacy with your partner. It helps with vaginal lubrication but more importantly, it fuels desire and anticipation, and you’ll experience the benefits of a closer connection. Robert Kneschke/fotolia
