The best is yet to happen Come.
A new study of older adults reveals that more than one in three Americans over the age of 55 have sex at least once a week.
Carwell surveyed 687 older Americans about their sexual habits and preferences, and the results revealed that 70-year-olds get it more than those in their mid-to-late 50s.
42% of people in their 70s do these bad deeds at least once a week, compared to 35% of those aged 55 to 60 years.
America's seniors are also experimental, with more than a quarter of survey respondents revealing they are open to shaking things up and taking risks in the bedroom.
Given that pregnancy no longer poses a risk, a surprising number of older people have also admitted that they do not use protection when having sex.
Among those who are not in a monogamous relationship, 45% said they had gone without a condom during intercourse, with the authors of the Kerwell study saying: “This lack of caution could leave many older people at risk of infection, even if they believe the probability is low.” “. “.
According to the results of the study, one in 10 elderly people surveyed said that they had more than one sexual partner during the past year.
However, Kerwell's study revealed that “emotional intimacy and physical closeness are closely linked.”
“As people age, the way they experience intimacy often changes,” the authors wrote. “For many older adults, emotional closeness can become as important as, if not more than, the physical aspects of sex.”
“they [the respondents] Their sexual satisfaction depends largely on emotional intimacy with their partner, the researchers said.
And while sex may not stop once we go gray and start flabby, seniors admitted there are some downsides.
46% of adults over 55 have or have been with a partner who suffers from erectile dysfunction.
More than half (51%) say they have less sexual desire than they did before, while 27% admitted that health conditions and medications often interfere with their ability to get down and dirty.
