Discuss possible reasons why sexual activity for men is higher than for women during the years of old age.
What will be an ideal response?
Possible reasons for the discrepancy between male and female rates of sexual activity in old age are not clear. One reason is the earlier mortality of men, leaving many older women without a suitable partner. Also, some women are married to men in an older age bracket and their older age reduces their abilities to perform sex. Many older women also indicate that sex was "not at all important" and reported less interest in sex than their male counterparts report. Decreases in sexual activity are correlated with decreases in general mobility and various disease processes and consequent medication, which may reduce arousal. Finally, the speed and intensity of various vasocongestive responses decrease with age.
