JAKARTA - For people who are elderly or elderly, sex is not something that is impossible to continue to do. Experts say that it is very possible to have sex that remains satisfactory even though they are in their 60s.

However, it is undeniable that having sex for the elderly will not be the same as when you were young. The right position is needed so that sex runs smoothly and comfortably.

"Being older is not about trying to be able to do the same sexual activity you've always done before," said sexologist and sexuality educator Lawrence Siegel, quoted by Huffpost, on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.

"But to find a more comfortable position and step and make sexual acts more enjoyable," he added.

The sex positions recommended by experts for the elderly couple are classic missionaries. The recipients lie on their backs, while the penetration partners are above them and face each other.

This position is considered by experts to make sexual relations between the elderly couple run comfortably and safely. This is because the position of a classical missionary does not burden more, especially the hip area whose condition has often decreased in the elderly.

"It gives couples who lie in extra support, while the standing partner can use their more bodies for strength than their hip dominating," said sex therapist Jesse Kahn.

Another sex position recommended for the elderly couple is doggy style. This position is suitable for those with low mobility and hip pain.

In this position, you can also play with your feet, like a wide-legged one, based on the needs of each person's body, "concluded Kahn.
