As we age, its natural for our bodies, minds and everyday lives to change. And those shifts bring about changes to our sexuality, too.

But different doesnt necessarily mean bad. Its very much possible to have satisfying sex well into your 60s and beyond, even if its not the same kind of sex you had in your younger years.

For some, that may mean trying different sex positions that honor their current body and its abilities, while also exploring other intimate acts that dont necessarily include penetration.

Getting older is not about trying to be able to do the same sexual activities youve always done before, clinical sexologist and sexuality educator Lawrence Siegel told HuffPost, but to find positions and paces that are more comfortable and make the sexual act more enjoyable.

If sex is painful or uncomfortable, it leads to disappointment and avoidance, which detracts from the quality of life for both individuals and couples, he added.
