Let's Talk About Sex, Baby
What I find most interesting about this AARP study of sexuality is that anyone even wants to know about middle-aged sex. But then again, we are the baby boomers and there are now 78 million of us. When I was in my early twenties, I believed that we 'owned' sex---the thought of people with grey hair getting down and dirty was well.....ewwwwwww. I don't think the younger generations' attitude about us old folks has changed much. A 17-year old girl I know pronounced that people over 30 having sex was disgusting. Unless they were really 'buff'--in which case maybe they could have sex until they were 35. According to the article in AARP Magazine "The Baby Boom generation famously came of age in a time when sexual mores were changing radically. And now, according to an AARP study of the sexual attitudes and practices of Americans 45 and older, the Boomers are creating a second sexual revolution-- one that will change forever the way people think about sex and aging. And just in the nick of time.

 Married people who say they are the happiest have the most sex. Whether happy people have more sex, or more sex makes you happy, researchers don't know. Among all people, married or not, happy people are having sex 64.5 times per year compared with 49.5 for those who are "pretty happy" and 40.5 for
those that are "unhappy."

| Some other surveys
report that men on the average have sex 66.4 times
during the year, and women reported having intercourse
50.6 times. Something is amiss, don't you
think? |
Sex in your middle years
Most middle-aged people are able to lead an active, satisfying sex life. When problems occur, they are usually the
result of disease, disability, drug reaction, or emotional upset. More

 Contraceptives
Statistics tell us that people over 50 can be quite sexually active, often with younger partners who
do need birth control. But sexually active people of any age can get sexually transmitted diseases. More

 Have great sex
Americans getting on in years are still getting it on. A survey on Sexuality and Older Adults for the National
Council on Aging found 48 percent of Americans age 60 and older are sexually active at least once a month.
