[Sexual behavior in higher age]

Apart from other factors the sexual behaviour of man and woman depends also on age. Like other physiological conditions the sexual function underlies changes according to age, representing themselves in slowed down sexual reaction, diminished intensity of orgasm and ejaculation as well as decreased libido. In general the sexual activity of both sexes is diminishing after the 50th year of life, simultaneously showing that the sexual function in man more easily becomes disturbed--not so in woman.
