Sex Is Considered Healthy At What Age?


Submitted by: Mary

Q - Dear Annabelle,
Sex is considered healthy at what age?

A - Dear Mary,

Iâm not entirely clear about the intent of your question, but humans are designed to have sex starting at puberty and going for as long as they wish to. (Pregnancy would be another matter, but that is not your question).

One of the more delightful functions of sex is as a tension releaser. (Actually, people who might be termed Îsexual addictsâ use sex this way, and THIS expression of sex is not considered to be psychologically healthyâ.)

One can continue to have extremely satisfying sexual relations well into the 70âs and 80âs, probably beyond, for all I know. Remember Îsexâ does not mean just intercourse. We are sexual beings from the moment of conception, and our largest sex organ, our skin, is vulnerable to many kinds of pleasures.......âsexâ has become narrowly defined.

The second largest sex organ, the brain, is actually where the pleasure is centered, so, without more specificity about your question, I cannot give you a more direct answer.

Enjoy...............safely!
