Sex sells -- just turn on the TV or flip open a magazine to see that. However, try talking about senior citizens and sex.Society treats seniors like they are asexual, that sex is no longer of interest. Research shows that is not the case at all.Marilyn Renaudette, an elder clinician, remarked that her senior friends who are dating again have found it's much like a return to puberty."This is frequently a subject of conversation when the 'girls' are together," she said. "Dating is difficult due to all of the youthful expectations in our society about sex. It's important for the older generation to know that sex doesn't have to stop, but it may take 'different' forms."Today's seniors are staying active and that includes a healthy sex life. Recent advances in medicine, including Viagra, have allowed couples to continue a regular sex life. Among seniors age 75 and older with partners, 25 percent of those said they has sex at least once a week, and more than 70 percent with partners had sex at least once a month. For younger seniors the numbers are even higher: 87 percent of married men and 84 percent of married women in the 60-65 age group are sexually active.Walter Bortz, author of three books on healthy aging as well as several studies on senior's sexuality, has been quoted as saying "Use it or lose it." A Duke University study shows that some 20 percent of people over age 65 report having a better sex life now than ever before. The reasons why: Many seniors are retired; the kids are out of the house; and couples have more time to devote to their relationship.More than 85 percent of those over age 60 said that they have some sort of intimate experience, including kissing or intercourse, once a week.One alarming statistic: Seniors who are sexually active open themselves up to many of the same risks faced by younger people face. Many seniors grew up in time where people did not openly discuss sexuality. They may not understand the risk of contracting a venereal disease.Since the threat of pregnancy is not an issue, many seniors do not take precautions. Women over the age of 50 are among the fasting growing group to be infected with HIV and other venereal diseases. Those over age 50 make up 10 percent of the newest AIDS cases and 14 percent of those who are living with AIDS. Also due to physical changes, seniors are more vulnerable to infection: They may have weakened immune systems and other factors that can make them more vulnerable to venereal disease.
