HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Aging doesn't mean the end of sex
Sex may not be the same as it was in your 20s, but it still can be fulfilling. Communication is essential for maintaining a satisfying sex life. Talk with your partner about what you want from him or her. Be honest about what you're experiencing physically and emotionally. If you take medications or have health problems that affect your sex life, don't be afraid to talk with your doctor.
