Psychological features of the elderly
Psychology of the elderly is different from the psychology of young or mature. Aged after 55–60 years (which most scientists consider the beginning of the elderly) a person begins to summarize life, ceases to strive to achieve what he dreamed of in his youth, evaluate the past years in terms of success — failure.
The psychological characteristics of the elderly are the perception of the coming death. Healthy Person who came to the conclusion that she lived a full life, calmly looks in the face of the approaching sunset. The neurotic person who finds that life live in vain and consisted mainly from mistakes, is experiencing a strong sense of powerlessness, because it cannot change the past. Such a person overtakes fear of death.
The psychology of the elderly has a number of specific features, such as changing life values, focus on family education, an increase in anxiety associated with their own health, the emergence of the tendency to memoirs. The love of the elderly to the stories about their past encourages many of them to write memoirs.
Psychology of the relations of the elderly
Psychological peculiarities of elderly people encourage them to rely only on family, few friends and occasionally. Losing significant loved ones, an elderly person often «goes into my senses», closes, refuses new contacts. Most often, having spent one dozen years in marriage and burying a spouse, a person decides that his love relationship is finished. Extremely rare cases when an elderly person agrees to at least think about the possibility of a new partnership. First of all, it refuses relations is not physiological, but by psychological reasons. The elderly people tend to believe that they are already able to do anything, they are afraid of failures in relations and sex, preferring at all to abandon the other.
Love and sex of the elderly
In the old people the psychology of relations is such that they become extremely conservative.
Retirement, they turn out to be unclaimed professionally, they dramatically narrows the circle of communication. Their confidence falls. It is not surprising that they often put a cross on their sexual relations.
The sexual inactivity of the elderly is supported by the opinion consideral in society that sex in old age is not needed, it is inappropriate and even known to nature. While no study of the sexuality of an elderly person confirms this common delusion.
The psychological features of the sexuality of the elderly are expressed, first of all, in the fact that all the stages of a sexy diverse response are lengthened: sexual desire arises slower, the period of finding on the plateau lasts longer. For many it becomes a plus: a man does not make the goal of achieving ejaculation, but focuses on preliminary love games, which is usually more than satisfied with his partner. A woman whose body also undergoes changes, with pleasure responding to a long prelude, since it needs more time to achieve orgasm.
The main thing in the love of the elderly — Comfort, Security and Reliability. People on the seventh dozen and older are extremely conservative, they are not looking for novelty sensations and acute emotions. The love of elderly people is calm and pacified. If society is less susceptible to stereotypes, elderly people will make it easier to love each other, and their sex life will become much richer and brighter. It is much easier to achieve success if you do not say that you are not capable of having a fix.
