Older People Are Having Sex, And Loving It
According to a study published on bmj.com,
the number of 70 year olds that are having sex - and saying it is good
sex - is increasing. Further, more older women are indicating specific
satisfaction with their sex lives.
Much of the research on sexual activity concerns younger people, and
our objective knowledge about sexual behaviors among older people is
quite limited. Since researchers usually focus on the sexual problems
of older people (i.e., erectile dysfunction), they have failed to
conduct analyses that focus on this group's "normal" sexual activity.
However, Swedish researcher Nils Beckman and colleagues from the
University of Gothenburg in Sweden have conducted a study to learn
about the attitudes to sex in later life. Participating in the project
were four representative population samples of 70 year olds in Sweden
interviewed in 1971-2, 1976-7, 1992-3, and 2000-1. Over these three
decades, more than 1,500 septuagenarians offered to the researchers
details of their sex lives regarding sexual dysfunctions, marital
satisfaction and sexual activity.
Beckman and colleagues found that in thirty years, there was an
across-the-board increase in the number of 70 year olds that reported
engaging in sexual intercourse. From 1971-2 to 2001-2:
Married men increased from 52% to 98%
Married women increased from 38% to 56%
Unmarried men increased from 30% to 54%
Unmarried women increased from 0.8% to 12%
As an increasing number of these women reported having an orgasm during
sex and a decreasing number reported not having an
orgasm, there was a general increase in the number of women
who reported high sexual satisfaction. Though fewer women reported low
satisfaction with their sex lives, the situation was different for men
- there was an increase the proportion of men who reported low
satisfaction. This could be due to the modern phenomenon of male's
accepting responsibility for sexual failure, according to the authors.
For men, thirty years saw a decrease in the proportion of men reporting
erectile dysfunction decreased, but an increase in the proportion
reporting ejaculation dysfunction. The percentage reporting premature
ejaculation remained about the same.
A particularly interesting finding is that when sexual intercourse
stops between a male and a female, both sexes readily blame men - a
similar finding to studies performed in the 1950s and 2005-06. The
researchers conclude that, "Our study…shows that most elderly people
consider sexual activity and associated feelings a natural part of
later life."
A comment accompanying the article is written by Professor Peggy
Kleinplatz (University of Ottawa in Canada). She maintains that, "A
major contribution of Beckman and colleagues' study is that it focuses
on sexual
attitudes and behaviour in a sample of people - not patients - who are
not seeking treatment
for sexual dysfunction or attending a general medical clinic."
Kleinplatz adds: "Doctors in general are known to be
uncomfortable about asking patients questions about their sex lives.
[Older people] may be even less likely than most to approach their
doctors with sexual problems and concerns, although research shows that
most people hope that their doctors will approach them...Given that sex
plays an increasingly valuable role in the lives of older men and
women, Beckman and colleagues' study reinforces the dictum that doctors
should ask - and be trained to ask - every patient, regardless of age,
'Any sexual concerns?' "
