Studies show that older adults are more sexually active than commonly thought, with 40% to 91% of men aged 65 to 75 and 25% to 78% of women in the same age range reporting sexual activity. Variability exists due to factors like culture and health. Research reveals that many older adults experience greater satisfaction in their sex lives compared to their younger years. Many adapt to physical changes and continue to enjoy their sexuality, often with different focuses away from penetrative sex.
Numbers vary widely, Graham says, because different studies define sex differently; some define it exclusively as sexual intercourse, while others define it more broadly.
According to research by Graham and her team, the percentage of men aged 65 to 75 who are sexually active is anywhere from 40% to 91%.
According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), many older couples find greater satisfaction in their sex lives than they did when they were younger.
They reported doing things differently from before, with less focus on penetrative sex.
