Contrary to preconceived ideas, the period of sexual liberation has not changed much to the behaviors of youth. No, the first sexual intercourse does not occur sooner, not the younger ones have not become the Don Juan or nymphomaniac, and yes, loyalty remains an ideal for many people.
Sexual behavior
Yet a very important change occurred: longer duration of sexual life. There are results of two studies at a little over 20 years apart, which analyze the sexual behavior of more than 50 years.
To the question: 'have you had sex last year? '
36% of men over 50 years in 1972 answered no, 66% of women of similar age (1).
20 years later, the same question, only 11% of men had not made love in the previous year to 28% of women (2).
The changes are important and meaningful! For both sexes, sexual life continues much longer. Men seem to benefit but the gap between men and women has declined significantly. This difference is partly due to the fact that women often have older partners they are.
However, this study has already 10 years.
It is difficult to compare the published data available in 2008, the figures are analyzed differently. Women 50 to 54 years are now 12.1% do not have sex for a year to 7.9% of men the same age. And for the age group of 65-69 years, 39.7% of women are in this case for 15.6% of men.
The increase in the number of people who become sexually active at an older age seems to be confirmed.
One might think that things have continued to evolve ... Why? Because life expectancy in good health continues to grow. However, when doing well, we think more to do when the love that is sick!
On the other hand, people over 50 years have seen May 68 and all that followed. This is no longer the same philosophy of life than previous generations! 'Make love, not war', or 'Enjoy unhindered, these slogans have left.
So perhaps extrapolate and imagine that soon, these polls on the lifetime sexual target over 70 years. Because they also have the right to love!
