Older People Allowed to Enjoy Sex
• Sexual Health
That older men and women were expected to not have sexual needs is just another proof that our society has imposed sexual trauma on millions of people:
Retirement homes have struggled to acknowledge senior sexuality. In the past, elderly people who were “caught” making out or even masturbating in their own beds were chided like naughty teenagers. That’s changing, with more private rooms, better training for staff members and more open discussions of intimacy and sexuality.
