Description

Far from being over the hill sexually, octogenarians may be having far more satisfying sex than younger generations appreciate, new research suggests.

A study into sexual activity indicated that women over 80 are actually less likely to have difficulty becoming aroused and having orgasms than those aged 70 to 79. Instead, their sexual satisfaction was similar to that scored by 60 to 69 year old women, the report suggested.
