Description
Janie Steckenrider surveyed 556 adults aged sixty and over about how they themselves rate their sexual lives, in a 2024 study. Most research on later-life sexuality centers on dysfunction, which feeds the myth that older people are neither active nor interested. Her survey asked about activity, satisfaction, and outlook instead.
Eighty-five percent reported being sexually active, with a partner or alone. Forty-five percent were extremely or very satisfied with both quality and frequency, and most rated recent experiences above average, with a third calling them great. Eighty percent described recent sex as fun, even while sixty percent also called it predictable and more challenging. Desire stayed high across all four age groups studied.
