Old age 'no barrier' to sex life

Seniors with a partner are more sexually active, the study found
Old age is not preventing people from enjoying active sex lives, researchers in the US have discovered.

A survey of 3,005 Americans aged 57 to 85 revealed that people often remain sexually active into their eighties.

Health problems or lack of a partner, rather than lack of desire, were the most common barriers to having sex.

The researchers say their survey overturns stereotypical ideas about sex and ageing, an area that has been little studied.

"There are a lot of people who feel that age is very tightly correlated with sexual activity or interest," Professor Edward Laumann of the University of Chicago, one of the report's authors, told the BBC.

"But it turns out that healthy people are sexually active if they have a partner, and that this is an important part of the quality of life."

I saw this earlier, but I got called into a meeting. I was thinking of posting it just to get Topper grossed out. Though, I don't think he's any spring chicken so I don't know what he gets so upset about. It's funny when he does though.

A powerful image indeed.
