Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:21:03 GMT

When do older people stop having sex? According to studies — never! Sure, as teens we cringed at the thought of our parents doing it, but if your folks were going at it and still are, good for them. Older adults may slow down a bit in the bedroom with age, but that doesn’t mean they stop having sex. Nor should they.What makes some older adults stop having sex — or not have sex as often as they used to?The human body will undergo changes as they age. These changes can affect a person on a physical and hormonal level. Both of which will make it difficult for older people to maintain the sex life that they had when they were younger.
