Over 50 and Frisky

A large U.S. sex survey has discovered that a variety of people in their 80s are engaging in a range of sexual activities (even masturbation).

Of the 50 women in the study over the age of 80, 100 per cent reported masturbating with a partner within the past year, according Debby Herbenick, associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University. “It showed that for some people sexual activity can occur throughout life, and there’s not a pure stopping point, just like there’s not a pure starting point,” added Herbenick.
