I must admit the idea of grams and gramps banging kinda creeps me out … I mean what if his blood pressure gets too high from the erection and passes out … or on? Well, like it or not, 70 year olds admit to getting their freak on now more than they did 30 years ago … and its some good sex; the kind that brings smiles to many aging baby boomers. It’s more sex with age and more sexual satisfaction to lots of women that age. 
Nils Beckman of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and colleagues interviewed four groups of 70-year-olds in Sweden about their sex lives between 1971 and 2001. 68% of married men said they were having sex in 2001, which is a rise in percentage from 52% in the early ’70s. And for the married women, the sexual activity rose to 54% in 2000-2001, up from 30% in the early 70s.
“Attitudes are more open-minded and positive today, at least in the elderly themselves,” Beckman said. And more and more women are reporting an orgasm during sex and fewer reporting never having had one. On the contrary, the number of men reporting low sexual satisfaction rose. According to Beckman, this can be tied to the fact that men are now more open in talking about sexual failure.
Deduction: Age = more sex = more big Ooooooohs!!! Can’t wait to get to 70. It’s been quite a dry spell for me lately.

First things first… I am not feeling the picture… ha! ha! - don’t get me wrong… older guys are more my thing… but damn Ria! lol! As for if you pass out and die in the middle of “getting it on” - can’t think of a better way to enter the pearly gates! I agree that people’s attitudes towards sex have greatly improved and we are free to express our opinions, discuss what works and doesn’t work and oh hail Viagra! Wonder why they did not give props to the little blue pill?

Comment by chica20 on 7 August 2008:
i think so, i think am still pretty young lol, and i know i havent had my best sex yet, so i to agree, i elderly persons that have more and better sex than person in my age group. Its all about experience, comfort, trust and accepting ones sexuality for what it is as age goes up
Comment by Nandi on 7 August 2008:
I say good for them, definitely something to look forward to LOL….Well atleast he will know where all the wrinkles are at LOL…Sex is great and people should have it as long as they possibly can, so they can then live off of good memories…
Comment by LoveMyJeans on 8 August 2008:
Who wouldnt want to keep sex (good sex) a part of their life as long as possible?? Sex is not just for the “young”. And in to my 70’s, oh yes, God is good!!! Happy to hear it! As people live longer and healthier lives, sex will continue to be a part of it. Plus with all the medications, gels, lotions, and toys, you gotta live that long just make a dent in trying things. LOL. Honestly, the pic doesnt bother me. Love is beautiful at whatever age.

Sex is funcction of many things which should work to have pleasant sex. Firt attitude, body strength external factors such as interactions with people during our routine work. If my attitude towards my women is not good, if my muscles are weak due to age, if I have a bad day my sex will not be good coz im not tend or my mind do not think of it.
Age is very important for sex coz the performance of our sexsual machines determine the kind of sex we do.The newer they are the better they perform. For example When I was late 20s I remember I did sex 5 times in 3 hours and I was still seeking. But I cannot do sex more than 4 times in a night at the age of 40 today.
So at age of 70 and above it good to talk memories of past sex, we are all weak beyond this stage naturally.

Morningstar, Lord’a Mercy girl! I’m feeling what you’re feeling about that picture… it’s not how I needed to start my morning.
As far as sex getting better as you get older… I certainly hope so! If gramps and granny are still gettin’ their groove on in their 70’s, I glory in their spunk!
Comment by morningflower on 8 August 2008:

Gotta develop smile wrinkles!
Comment by Nandi on 8 August 2008:
I think sex and sexuality never goes away…My great-great grandmother died at 104 years old and she talked about it up til she died. LOL
Mostly how she missed it and that the old men in her building couldn’t do anything LOL. I thought she was just joking but now…I don’t know
Although boinking a 104 year old lady,just doesn’t sound very nice…Well unless you are what a 94 year old male LOL
But, sex is great for the body, soul, muscle aches etc…Best natural contact high you will ever get.

Comment by Takeila on 11 August 2008:
Better with age? I would think so. I heard that you can have a longer lasting life if you are a sex addict. Then I thought about it. Look at Hue at the mansion, lol. I know matter how old I get or look. I am not going to ever give that up. Good cardio too! Oh and to morningflower I do agree with you that picture kinda of turns you off, lol.
Comment by Sovoluptuous on 12 August 2008:
I guess it depends on how old and how healthy the person(s)are,As for me i want to be a granny and still doing my thing too..If you don’t use it more than likely at that age you will lose it..Keep your body moving so your joints won’t lock up,And what better way to do it..LOL!
Comment by Youngwolf on 14 August 2008:
It’s nice to know there are good years ahead. Sex can’t be separated from our emotions and physical intimacy. I know its a difficult topic to conceptualise but I feel more competent now than in my 20s. Don’t have the fears I guess and concentrate more on the partner than my own needs. A good wine matures with age. Cheers everyone.
Comment by kenyanito on 29 August 2008:
yeah, sex gets better with age…i used to think that it ain’t necessary…trust me it is..
Comment by Michelle1204 on 30 August 2008:
My mother just turned 60 and she’s having a lot more sex than I am! She says as long as there is an itch, she’s gonna have it scratched.. :0) I think its wonderful.
Comment by Pia65 on 6 September 2008:
I think sex is just apart of the entire package in a relationship….A good part that is just like a fine wine…it gets better with age…and experience!
Comment by Artiecraft on 16 September 2008:
ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!
Comment by vt33 on 19 September 2008:
Who knew old folks have sex past 65, here I thought they devouted their life to god, or a house full of mangy cats, or for the men, going to go go bars, or sitting in the park watching women run.
Yet, I still have this thought of nothing but, skin chaffing, stinging eucalyptus smelling, loose skin smacking sex. The thought of a pacemaker or some other installed device overloading, and electrical shock happening.
I guess this is somthing to look forward to in my 60’s,70’s and 80’s.
Comment by BeReal4me on 20 September 2008:
I am so pleased to know that as I age, all my desires come with me.
I hope that all my parts are working at that age and I am as vibrant with the man of my life and can still “work it well”. laugh
My former mother in law is still kicking and is more alert than usual and getting more action than me. laugh
I think that picture is cute. I love to see older couples still having a drive for love. IT gives me hope for the future.
