Little Known Statistical Data On Six Personality Behaviors Of Middle-aged And Elderly People

On June 3, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, in fact, after people reach the age of 60, although their body tissues gradually age, their sexual desire will not disappear. The middle-aged and elderly people need to embrace their inner vitality more in their later life The following are six little-known statistics on sexual life of middle-aged and elderly people over 60 years old:

1. Still have sex. Although young people may prefer their parents to be single, this is not the case from the perspective of middle-aged and elderly people. Many survey reports show that at least 50% of the people aged 60 or above remain sexually active, and with the gradual increase of "healthy life" of residents worldwide, the proportion of middle-aged and elderly people who remain sexually active is increasing. According to the age analysis data on sexual activity, 70% of women aged 60-69 have sexual partners, 57% of women aged 70-79 have sexual partners, and 31% of women aged 80-89 have sexual partners. They said they had had sex in the past six months. For the corresponding age group of men, the corresponding proportions are 85%, 60% and 32% respectively.
2. Middle aged and elderly people masturbate. In a recent survey of European residents aged 60-75, 41-65% of men and 27-40% of women said they had masturbated in the last month.
3. Sexual life is "imperfect". Statistics show that only 40% of the respondents aged 55-74 say they are satisfied with their sexual life, which may be due to medical problems, sexual desire differences between partners and other reasons.
4. Regular physical exercise is very beneficial. Universal research shows that if the middle-aged and the elderly have any chronic diseases, whether physically or mentally, their interest in sex life will be greatly reduced. Regular physical exercise can help solve potential problems such as depression and diabetes, and provide "power supplement" for sexual impulse.
5. Communication is the key link. Researchers said that the sexual satisfaction of the elderly is closely related to the quality of communication in a partnership. The most important thing is that effective communication can enable partners to set and share expectations for sexual behavior, which is the first step to solve any desire imbalance.
6. Avoid medication as much as possible. About a third of men reported that in the past year, they took drugs to improve their sexual ability, almost all of which were Viagra and similar generic drugs. Contrary to intuition, the elderly said that the use of such medication did not necessarily improve their sexual satisfaction. Generally speaking, people over the age of 60 also tend to take more drugs, some of which can cause side effects of sexual life. A healthy lifestyle, such as regular physical exercise, a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and heavy drinking, can eliminate the need for these drugs. (yeqingcheng)
