Two BBC articles about sex and the elderly
BBC News has two good articles dealing with sex and the elderly. The annual meeting of the British Society of Gerontology will be devoted to sexual issues, aiming to dispel the myth that old people have no interest in sex. The second piece is a "real people tell their own stories" column by a 78-year-old great-grandmother who still enjoys sex. "I do still see myself as a sexual being, even though I no longer get wolf whistles in the street. I've never been particularly hung up on my body image, but I am sometimes surprised that Sam finds me attractive.... I do have to listen to a lot more moans and groans of the 'Ow, my aching back' variety; and we both suffer from cramp from time to time, which always sends us into fits of giggles."
