Italian Septuagenarians Keeping
"Busy" Sexually
The
ANNOTICO Report
Italy's Donna Moderna reports on a new study which shows that
sex continues to be a popular pastime for Italian couples well into older age.
The research,
which analysed the sex life of some 1,300 Italians
over the age of 69, found that 49 per cent of respondents with a partner and 8
per cent of singles enjoy frequent sexual relations.
Of those
surveyed, 55 per cent lived with a partner, while 45% were single or widowed, found the research, which was carried out by the
Italian Andrology Society (SIA) and the Federation of
Family Doctors.
''This is
evidence that, contrary to stereotypes, healthy over-70s are in no way ready to
cut back on sex in their personal relationships,'' commented Alessandro Palmieri, a SIA researcher.
