Over-65s thrive on joys of sex

SEX looms large in the lives of over-60s, with a high proportion of men and women remaining intimately active well into old age, a ground-breaking study has shown.

The survey of 3,000 people aged 57 to 85 found that health was more important to sexual activity than age.

Many of those questioned reported engaging in sexual activity with “at least one partner” in the 12 months preceding the study.
