Old people have more sex than you'd think!.

A survey of more than 3,000 U.S. adults aged 57 to 85, including face-to-face interviews, finds:

1) Most people aged 64 to 75, and more than one-quarter of those aged 75 to 85, have had sex in the past year.

2) Among people aged 75 to 85 who have had sex in the past year, most do it at least twice a month, and 23 percent do it at least once a week.

3) Among those who have had sex in the past year, most people aged 57 to 75, and one-third of those aged 75 to 85, still give or get oral sex.

4) Women are getting less sex than men, but that's largely because their spouses and other men their age have died.

Reactions:
1) Stop pitying old people; they're still getting lots of sex.

2) Those poor, horny old people need medical help so they can keep having lots of sex.

3) Those damned old people are getting more sex than we are.

(Maybe, but young people are getting a lot more of this. By the way, if old people are healthy enough for sex, why can't they keep working?)
