A new study shows that even in old age, sex is good for us.


According to a study by researchers at Anglia Ruskin University and University College London, people over the age of 65 were much more satisfied and had a higher level of enjoyment in life if they had been sexually active within the last 12 months.

Research was conducted amongst 6,879 British seniors over the age of 65.

Dr. Lee Smith, a reader in exercise medicine at Anglia Ruskin University, and co-author Sarah Jackson found that there were some differences between the genders.

Senior women benefited more from intimate touching rather than sex. For example, women who experienced more regular kissing, petting, and fondling had a higher feeling of satisfaction. Women also did not experience a significant improvement in their overall levels of enjoyment or satisfaction from sexual intercourse.

However, men were much more simple in the fact that the more sex they had, the happier they were.

It seems that the general rule of women enjoying intimacy and men preferring sex does not fade with age.

Dr. Lee Smith spoke about their findings.

"The findings of our study suggest that it may be beneficial for physicians to query geriatric patients about their sexual activity and offer help for sexual difficulties, such as problems with erections, as sexual activity helps older people live more fulfilling lives."

Dr. Smith continued,

"Health professionals should acknowledge that older adults are not asexual and that a frequent and problem-free sex life in this population is related to better wellbeing. However, encouragement to try new positions and explore different types of sexual activities is not regularly given to aging populations."

Many people do not find the study's findings to be particularly groundbreaking.





Others are making sure they won't let their sexual flame flicker with age.



And others don't want to think about the older people in their lives keeping at it.



Whether or not the idea sounds appealing, it's good to know for when we get to that stage in life!

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
