Are your aching joints limiting your sexual activity? Can you no longer settle into your favorite sexual position because your knees or back can’t support yourself or your partner? Do you worry about a little incontinence making a mess during sex? If so, maybe it’s time to consider sex furniture. Yes, there is such a thing, and it can enhance sexual activity as we get older.
In my study of 550 people over age 60, 60.5% said that sexual activity is physically challenging. Sore knees, back pain, arthritic hands, and creaky hips are often the reality that can interfere with your sexual activity. What is worse is body aches and pain can be heightened during sex play. Or even just the thought that sex might trigger an achy back can be enough to diminish your sexual interest in doing anything. Sex furniture and other assistive accessories range in function and purpose and can reposition your body to relieve stress on your joints and create an overall more satisfying sexual experience.
Is your first thought, sex furniture is way too kinky? Think again, sex furniture is quite mainstream. You can find an array of products designed specifically for sex play like pillows, wedges, sex loungers, waterproof blankets at Amazon, Wayfair, Etsy and even at MarriedDance.com, a Christian-friendly sex toy store.

Wedges and pillows will help alleviate lower back and hip pain during partnered sex and can increase satisfaction by raising the pelvis. Sex pillows and wedges prop up and support your body and make various sexual positions more comfortable and easier on your neck, knees and back.
WATERPROOF BLANKETS

A waterproof blanket can protect your bedding, couch, or whatever surface you are using from potential stains, odors, or damage. The reality of sex and aging can mean unexpected dribbles, a puddle of lubricant, or a little incontinence. A waterproof blanket makes for easy clean up afterwards. Plus, most sex blankets have a soft and luxurious material next to your skin to add to your comfort. The waterproof backing also prevents slipping so you can concentrate on your total pleasure. Waterproof blankets are available in all bed sizes and smaller travel sizes.
SEX LOUNGERS AND TANTRA CHAIRS

Sex loungers and tantra chairs (specifically designed for positions in the ancient text, Kama Sutra) can be beautiful pieces of furniture as well as used for sexual activity or even for yoga meditation. These loungers and chairs support the arch of your back and bottom while creating different pelvic angles for varying sexual experiences. As we age, our flexibility decreases, so sex loungers and chairs that provide support and comfort can invite you to try new sexual positions or revisit earlier positions that you may have given up.
The sex furniture highlighted here might not be something you’ve considered before, but they provide benefits as we get older. The different furniture and assistive accessories give a needed support and comfort to hips, back, neck, and knees during sexual activity. Most importantly, they can also bring new fun and excitement to your sexual experiences as you achieve new sexual moves, build sexual anticipation towards using them, and ultimately deepen your intimacy.
