Abstract:
Sex life of the elderly has been investigated in Finland by three representative population surveys. The subject is topical as the large generations become aged. According to the survey the sexual activity of the elderly people remained quite high, if they were living in a steady relationship. In the survey the numbers of sexual intercourses decreased with age, whereas masturbation and use of pornography increased. Most felt that their relationship and sexual life were satisfying. The most common sexual problems were lack of sexual desire in women and inability to achieve orgasm in the intercourse. Male erection problems increased more significantly only at the age of 70.
