Health professionals lack understanding of sexual function and desire in later life

Back in 2001, the idea of older adults being sexually active was still very much a taboo. I had just landed my first job since completing my PhD: it was to manage a project looking at the role of sexual activity in the quality of life of older adults. The research was groundbreaking – certainly it had not been done before in the UK – and part of my role involved interviewing older adults about their sexual attitudes and behaviours. One of the first people I spoke to was a man in his 60s.

Should we all stand round the bed and give them a round of applause and a chorus of hearty 'well done'?

Ikm old enough to get away with pointing out the slightly unfortunate phrasing of this headline

We call it the little blue pill

Are we talking like, a hoist or something...? asking for a friend

You mean like creams and gels?

Old people. Ugh

Want implies neither Should nor Need.

Looking at that picture - you're going to need alot more than good will and a blue pill or two. More like a defibrillator - where was it taken in a morgue?

This is the natural human tendency ... If people is at puberty or at older age they still want sex ....

No way I'm subsidising flights to Bangkok

the green gardean like a gardan

I want sex too, is my plight invalid because I'm an able-bodied young male?

like wtf, they still have to do that coz its life 😂😂😂
