Sexual boredom can be avoided, I am a 65-year-old male and have been married three times - none of these relationships ended because of anything to do with the sex. The point I would like to make is while erectile dysfunction may be a physical problem, from conversations with other people about this topic sometimes it is a mental problem. Boredom creates difficulties, but quite often it is that as we grow older our bodies (both parties) grow less physically attractive and this can create problems in arousal. Some of my acquaintances (men and women) use fantasy, either shared or private, to overcome this problem; others use role play or games to become aroused, but I never see this sort of advice published.

The most important sexual organ in the body is the brain! Sexual boredom can be avoided by varying your sexual expression with your partner in both physical and mental ways. As mentioned above, fantasies, role plays and games can raise arousal, as can erotica and sex toys. However, it's essential for both partners to feel comfortable about these activities and discussion beforehand between partners is important. Varying the level of partner participation - the so-called sexual hierarchy - can also help when one partner's desire levels are less than the other's, for example, mutual masturbation, parallel masturbation or self-stimulation while cuddling your partner, are all pleasurable intimate activities that involve differing levels of partner involvement.
