The body may be a little more worn. But the emotions and desires remain.
Today’s elderly both thinking about and practicing six to a greater extent than the corresponding age group did 40 years ago, according to Nils Beckman’s thesis at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg.
– It is easy to use their own sexuality as a reference and believe that no one who is older than yourself having sex, he says.
– But just because you get older disappears’s not emotional life. On the contrary.
The conclusion comes well into old age. A substudy of 97-year-olds shows that although the age category is far from finished with the sexual part of life.
– Most who is 97 is perhaps not sexually active anymore. But almost everyone thinks it is positive and natural to have questions about their sexuality in health surveys.
– Many people still have sexual thoughts and desire still or say they lack sex.
The thesis also show that sex is much more common among today’s 70 year olds than it was in the 1970s. In addition, more satisfied with your sex life now.
The changes in the statistics is greatest among women. Almost three times as many 70-year-old women are sexually active today than in the 1970s.
– Attitudes in society has changed. Today’s 70 year olds make the same demands on life as a 20-year-olds are doing and women help themselves in a completely different way today.
According to Beckman results show how important it is to not forget your sex life when older seek treatment for various reasons.
– To raise even sexual concerns associated with such disease is often forgotten, he said.
– When we related to health surveys asked questions about six, it is for some almost the first time they talk about their own sex life.
