Elderly Sex? Does it ever end?

"There's a popular perception that older people aren't as interested in sex as younger people," said Stacy Tessler Lindau of the University of Chicago who led a study of more than 3,000 U.S. adults ages 57 to 85, published in August by the New England Journal of Medicine. 

The study found that between 50% and 75% of those studied remain sexually active. 
Holy Smokes! The study also found a close link between sex and health, with healthier people reporting the highest rates of sexual activity. 

The Glenridge is totally dedicated to keeping all of us retirees healthy and active. What a stroke of luck that we ended up here. 

Who would have thought? Most of these wonderful, healthy, oldsters are enjoying a healthy, vibrant sex life ... and nobody talks about it. I guess that's the way we were brought up. 

Thanks to all the fitness options and the focus on healthy eating we not only can expect to live longer, but with this discovery, it seems we'll enjoy our later years even more. 

More later,
