Crickets? I think it's great. People need companionship. Just because someone is a senior or elderly and living in a nursing home doesn't mean that they shouldn't be intimate with a member of the opposite sex.
The possibility of STD's is real but honestly that would never keep me from enjoying a relationship. I still eat cookie dough even though they say it will kill me.

And I'm still here!
Funny, as I grow older, I am so aware of being lonely and wanting a significant (man) other in my life. They are hard to find at my age of 74. Seems the dating sites are full of guys who seem to want multiple experiences rather than find "the one" for a meaningful relationship.
With modern day medicine, thankfully most STDs can be relieved with medication for a few days. Or some other type of medication.
I've spent a large part of my life worrying. I gave that up about a year ago. If a decent man came along who was unfortunate enough to "get something" but it happened long ago, why should I throw the "baby" out with the bath water? Why would I expect perfection when I am far from being perfect myself? I've just been lucky!
Funny, but I just had a long phone conversation with a very long time friend. At age 74, she has found her dream man! Believe it or not, she found him in church. They were on the same committee, working together. Eventually she asked him about his life. Found out he lives alone and is a widower.
Then she asked him if he was seeing anyone. Gradually he opened up and said he had been married for so long that he had no idea of how to go out on a date and that no one would want to go out with him anyway. So she said, "I would go out with you." Ta-Dah!
Now they are an item. He's 76. This woman has been on her own since a divorce back in the mid 1970s! So sometimes it just takes a while, lol.
in_newengland: Wow, what great news for your friend! And for any of us who hope to find someone to spend the rest of life with.
