27 Aug 07 Sex for Seniors
Next next time you are visiting your grandparents and you hear some banging in the house, they may just be having sex. Strange to believe - Seniors having sex! Our society seems to dishonor people when they are old and believe that their human desires seem to dwindle away. Well apparently not!
I visited my mother a few years ago in Germany and her 80+ old neighbor invited me over for some coffee and cake. A general chit chat, I thought nothing more. She surprised me when she asked me, “Do you think everything still works?”. I was a bit confused by her queries and asked her to explain. She told me that she met a guy and wanted to have sex and was worried that everything might not work. I told her that she will be fine and to enjoy it.
A few weeks later, I bumped into her in town and she had the biggest grin on her face. I truly believe that healthy people are also sexually active. Well at least, we smile a lot.
There’s definitely now Old age ‘no barrier’ to sex life. According to the BBC,“Half of the people surveyed up to the age 75 said they had oral sex.” I say “Good on them!”.
