Sex Over 60

Guest: Dr Marelize Swart, Sex Therapist Host: Sara-Jayne King, Cape Talk, Late Nights Show Topic: Sex Over 60 The idea that we continue to feel sexual and have sex as we enter our 60’s and 70’s is certainly no secret to the seniors who’re enjoying active sex lives. But so much of our discussions around sex tend to focus on those in their twenties and thirties that a myth has developed that once you get to a certain age, sex and sexual feelings stop. In fact a study by the Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion reveals that 43 percent of men and 22 percent of women over 70 say they regularly engage in sexual intercourse.
