"People that have sex live longer" according to geriatrics expert Dr. Waltrer M. Bortz, 70, a professor at Stanford Medical School. It is a matter " YOU USE IT or LOSE IT" 

 

 A Duke University study shows that some 20 percent of people over 65 have sex lives that are better than ever before, he adds.

 

But older people may encounter an obstacle they hadn't expected: their adult children, who may be less than pleased to see their aging parents as sexual beings and they tend to take less HIV preventive measures, Dr. Jack says.

​

Sexuality is often a delicate balance of emotional and physical issues. With better understanding and an open mind, you can continue to enjoy a physically and emotionally fulfilling sex life—it's not a question of age but of desire¹. Naturally, sex at 70 or 80 may not be like it is at 20 or 30—but in some ways it can be better though some challenged can be presented. However, eSeniors is the safest dating for senior that gives local single seniors an opportunity to meet someone.
