Sexual Activity in Late Adulthood
Captions available
The idea
Studies report fifty to eighty percent of adults aged sixty to seventy-four, and fifteen to thirty percent of those over eighty, as sexually active.
In practice
Declining sex hormones, joint pain, hypertension and diabetes reducing activity and desire.
Where people slip
The misconception is that older adults aren't sexually active; STI rates have also risen among older adults.
