I am in love with an elderly man in his 60s. Despite the 20 years plus age difference between us, I still want to marry him. My fear is whether he will be able to satisfy me sexually. I will appreciate your kind advice.

It is true that as some people grow older, they do not have the same sexual desire or drive as when they were young, but this is by no means the case for everyone. It has been confirmed that the belief that older adults lose their ability to enjoy sex and that their sexual organs lose its potency as these people age has been found to be untrue.
While it is true that the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) and vaginal dryness increases as people age, for most individuals, these are not insurmountable problems. Luckily, there are many medications that can correct these simple anomalies.
While sexual intercourse between older people may be less fast and furious, growing old does not necessarily discontinue a healthy sexual life, but it does call for redefining its expression.
There are certain benefits, too. For instance, a male’s penis often becomes less sensitive, helping them maintain an erection longer.
