Senior citizens are increasingly enjoying sex into their 80s…
They say time is a great healer, the same holds true for sex, used by many sexual healing therapists; but what happens when these two healing powers come together? The reference here is to old-age sex! It has been observed that senior citizens of today are not shying away from some between-the-sheets action. And this has been confirmed by a study conducted by the University of Chicago that finds a mention in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The survey conducted between 2005-2006 involved face-to-face interviews with 1,550 women and 1,455 men in the comfort of their homes. The results were encouraging, if not impressive, with 68 per cent men agreeing to having had sex in the past year with women following not too far behind at 42 per cent.
While these are the trends in the sexually-liberated west, what about countries like ours where sex is spoken of albeit in hushed tones? “Indians have been active since time immemorial, in fact, sex is the only “indoor sport” for majority of (old) people that they can enjoy and afford,” says India’s leading Sexologist, Prakash Kothari. In fact, he is quick to add, “In India, more than 50 per cent of the 65+ population would be enjoying sex at that age. In fact, most senior citizens are more active than the youngsters”.
But just what happens with age that sex goes out of the window? The reasons are many ranging from lack of or lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, problems with early orgasm or never reaching climax, pain during sex, lack of pleasure, and not to mention performance anxiety. But urinary tract infection seems to be the biggest culprit in keeping men and women from enjoying a healthy sex life, with women being more prone to the ailment and other STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).
