Anti-Aging - Staying young - ageless - aging advice - sex and seniors
"Seniors are no longer passively fading into the sunset. These days, seniors are making romance an important part of their lives.
Yes, the elderly are having sex. A new study of sexuality and health among older Americans recently found that more than half of Americans between 57 and 85 are sexually active.
Lead author Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau, an assistant professor of geriatrics, as well as obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Chicago Medical School, says that sexuality is an essential component of life, no matter what age a person is.
Lindau is astounded at the publicity the study has received, but it was old news to Frank Kaiser, 71, and his wife Carolyn, 66.
"I don't think that's a surprise to a lot of folks," Frank Kaiser told Sunday Morning correspondent Rita Braver. "I think it's a surprise to your kids. They don't want to talk about it; they don't want to hear it."
Frank Kaiser writes a seniors column for 70 newspapers, and he and his wife co-founded a Web site called "Suddenly Seniors." They are used to hearing from readers discussing sexuality.
Carolyn Kaiser says people often write in complaining that they have difficulty finding a partner at this stage in their lives, which can be difficult for women because they often outlive their husbands."
