Describe the difference in sexuality as people age.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. As people age, they experience lower levels of sexual desire and some sexual activities, but many couples in their seventies and eighties emphasize emotional intimacy and companionship, and are satisfied with kissing, cuddling, and caressing (Heiman et al., 2011; Lodge and Umberson, 2012). Poor health and inability to find a partner, rather than just advancing age, are more closely linked to declining sexual activity (Lee et al., 2015).
