LIFESTYLES

Love in later life
can be wonderful

Q. AFTER 30 years my lover and I have been reunited. We
have married and we are having the best sex either of us
ever had. I would like you to put this in your column so that
people will know that terrific sex is possible after age 50,
and also that sex with your one true love is the best possible.

A. First, congratulations! That
is a lovely story and will make lots
of people happy — me most of all.

I don’t want to take anything
away from that romantic and sat-
isfying story. But I have heard
from more than one source that
some neople fall in love several
times and each time is the best.
And the sex is the loveliest ever.
This kind of person has a most
fortunate ability to enjoy life.

I am happy for you and wish
-you everything wonderful in the
‘present and in the future. And I
am: glad to print your reassurance
that love and sex in Jater life can
be wonderful, the best ever. But
someone. will always take the
wrong message from the happiest
news, and I want to issue’a little
warning, ~

If you and your lover ever
develop some sexual difficulty,
that does not mean that one of you

does not really love the other. In

some,.of the best-made marriages
some'sexual difficulties have to be
overcome when the couple shares
love and understanding.

.Q. Most of the time after inter-
course hurt afterwards even if it
has lasted only 20 minutes. Am I
doing something wrong? ;

A. Maybe. you are not using a
lubricant and. you need one.
Maybe you are not giving enough
time to foreplay, not making sure
that you are lubricating naturally.
If this persists, after trying a safe
lubricant, you should definitely

drugstore needs.

Q. I have only one orgasm per
sexual encounter. J there some way
I could become multi-orgasmic?

A. No way that I know of. Some
women become multi-orgasmic
and find it enjoyable, but this is
not necessary for enjoyable sex —
and not necessary for good sex or
terrific sex. Don’t go into a long

and desperate search for the key to
being multi-orgasmic. This is one
of those things people worry about
needlessly, like finding the G-spot
(for which there is.no scientific
evidence) or trying to achieve si-
multaneous orgasms for both sex
partners.

It happens that with some happy
couples one partner can experience
only one orgasm during any period
of lovemaking. When that is the
case, the lovers can learn to make
that one orgasm terrific. And the
partner with the ability for several
orgasms in a short period can be
given them. Nothing wrong with
that. It is the couple’s own special
way of making love.

Q. We are a faithful,
monogamous couple married 59
years. Of late we notice little or
nothing of the pleasant odor the
body produces during lovemaking.
Is there any scent put out by a per-
fume manufacturer that we could
use to imitate that desirable and
exciting scent?

A. Possibly, but if so it is not
known to me. Perhaps some man-
ufacturer of perfumes or sex aids
will write to this column. The big
perfume companies have
laboratories in which they brag
that any scent known to the human
nose can be reproduced artificially
— from new-mown grass to freshly
baked bread to roses to rotten
eggs. The nicest perfume contains
traces of some nasty: odors,
curiously enough. At least that is
what they have told me.

There are scents some people
use, believe it or not, to disguise
the very odors you want to get
back. But it is well known that the
natural body scents are pleasing to
many people and I would be sur-
prised if your request has .not been
forwarded to some scentmaker be-
fore this.

With age some women lose
lubrication and then the couple are
advised to use some safe lubricant
such as K-Y Jelly to make inter-
course easier, more comfortable
and more pleasurable. If sex
becomes uncomfortable, keep that
in mind.
