Good Lifestyle

Once you have spent a certain age, you may be tempted to think that you are (to use an elderly term that I hate) "all washed". Indeed, people over 65 often tell me some stories of the passion they have lived when they were younger, only for sigh, lower my eyes and unfortunately say that life in their life had passed. And common perceptions nourish the myth once you hit your great years, your orgasm days are over.

Well, it's just not true and I have the facts to prove it.

The Institute of Politics and Innovation of the University of Michigan investigated a representative national sample of 1,002 people aged 65 to 80 for the national survey on healthy aging and found that 40% of them were sexually active. Not only that, 73% of them are satisfied with their sex life (indicating that some people who are not sex are not suitable, which is totally ok too).

Certainly, the sex activity rate decreases with time. Among the respondents, 46% of these people aged 65 to 70 reported sex, compared to 39% of 71 to 75 years and 25% of those aged 76-80.

There was also a bit of gender division in the results. Fifty-1% of men reported participating in sexual activity, compared to only 31% of women. This aligns the gender division of desire, however, since half of men said they were always "very" interested in sex, compared to only 12% of women.

Perhaps because of the social discomfort surrounding elderly sex, but only 17% of seniors reported talking about their doctor or other health care provider on sexual health over the last two years , which suggests that health professionals must be a little more numerous. proactive to approach the subject with them.

"Sexual health in the elderly does not reach much attention but is closely linked to the quality of life, health and well-being," Erica Solway of UM, Ph.D., Co-Associate Director pollsays in a press release. "It is important for seniors and clinicians who care about talking about these problems and how changes related to the age of physical health, relationships, lifestyles and responsibilities, such as the care, affect them. "

The big to take away is that if you are older and you are always interested in sex, you are not "washed" or "on the hill". A big sex is there and everything you have to do is find it. And to help do just that, check these40 ways to have a sex life of health after 40 years.
