We all know what orgasms are, and it’s not hard to understand why everyone wants them! We all know they’re different for men and women, and that they’re the peak of arousal, but there’s probably a lot about orgasms that you may not have known!
Many people might think that age has an effect on orgasms. While that’s not wrong, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have sex after 40! In fact, men can reach orgasm well into old age — don’t sweat it guys, you can still get off when you’re older than 90!
For men and women alike, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Even though it seems counterintuitive, orgasms actually become qualitatively better at 40 than they were at 20.
There’s no need to take it slow! Men between the ages of 45 and 59 could benefit from having more than two orgasms a week, as they are likely to live longer.
