There isn't much research and study on sex in old age. And some seniors also find it difficult to give an insight into their love life.
The Berlin Age Study II (BASE II) lifts the veil of taboo and shame a bit:
The 60 to 82 year olds who took part in the study found that sexual activity decreased compared to their younger years. However, a third of all seniors stated that they were more sexually active than the participants in the young comparison group of 22 to 36 year olds.
The fact is: There is no age limit for love and lust. The nature of sexuality changes, but the need for intimacy, closeness and tenderness does not decrease.
In any case, the changes in the body do not appear to be the cause of the decrease in sexual activity. A rethink is probably taking place here that sexual appetite does not have to be linked to plump and taut young bodies.
Rather, it is diseases and infirmities that come with age that make physical love more difficult.
For everyone who wants to empathize a bit further, the film "Wolke 9" is recommended, where the approx. 70-year-old Inge falls in love with the almost 80-year-old Karl, including nude scenes.
