Senior Issues Series by Susan Helene Kramer |

Just
because you're a senior doesn't mean you can't enjoy loving intimacy with your
partner.
I believe the main reason for expressing sexuality is development
of deep love, the kind of love that is a sharing and caring: spiritual in
nature.
In younger years, close encounters may come up and go down without deep
emotional bonding. But as time goes on and we learn to appreciate one another,
we learn that expressing love with an attitude of caring brings us into closer attunement with each other, while also aligning with our
deeper nature.
Senior sex is a time to spend in relaxed intimate cuddling and unrushed kissing
without planning for a grand finale. Cuddling lends itself to the emotional
closeness we may have been seeking in earlier years, but didn't find because of
the rush for that blaze of glory.
Taking time for closeness with your partner is an opportunity to relax into
other dimensions beyond physical. It is a chance to express your deepest loving
thoughts and emotions safely. It is a time to set aside daily problems and worldly issues and refocus on life as a couple.
When we begin our journey as mates there is much we learn by trial and error,
and only after time do we get to the stage of comfort where we begin spiritual
couple-growth.
The senior years afford more free time than ever, and with the comfort of an
emotionally caring relationship we are more likely to experience our deeper
spiritual nature in the forms of kindness, caring, nurturing, the circle of
giving and receiving. And with a growing sense of connection at home it is
easier to contemplate our connection with our larger worldwide family.
Taking time for closeness and expression of warmth and tenderness in all our
actions allows spirituality to blossom in our senior years. When we develop a
deeper, kinder love with our partner, we are likely to share more
kindly with others in daily interactions.
Living lovingly
The river of spirituality
Breaches its banks.
