I think it goes back to the feeling among a lot of people that sex is somehow naughty and old people should know better than to misbehave like that.

Fantastic, and good on them ! Life does not have to stop just because your knees are a bit creakier and you are getting on a bit.
My Grand-Mother once told me " you, young people think you invented sex, well, you didn't" and she was quite right.
Sex is fun and a way to be intimate with another human being and why should seniors deprive themselves...

So true!! I'm a nurse at a hospital here and our senior citizens like to check out our asses LOL. Most of the hospitals here still make nurses wear white uniforms. But its all good, sometimes they are just so bored and I guess quite lonely.

In the normal stage of aging, there is a minimal change in the amount of sexual response so I guess the drive is definitely there. Its just that there is an increase in time of full response and reduced amm.. lubrication. Ok I will stop there, don't worry I will not elaborate further.

Too often our elders, especially those in need of facilitated care, are treated like children. I think that's why this study is important: it helps remind us they are adults with biological (or at least social) needs.
