Like Wine, Sex Gets Better With Age

By Bat Sheva Marcus, LMSW, MPH, PhD on August 9, 2016

One of the things that make me saddest is that our society often sees sex as the exclusive purview of the young only. But you know what? Older people can have sex and enjoy it. In some cases it can even be better than sex for the younger set. Because seniors have more free time, may have less stress and don’t necessarily feel like they have to perform, they can just slow down and enjoy each other’s company. The NY Times recently did an article on sex in a senior center. It made me smile.
