Sex Keeps Love Alive Throughout Adult Life

Newswise — Sex, as well as romance, is an important part of couple's lives and health well into their retirement years. Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some of the nation's most comprehensive studies of sexual behavior, looking at sexuality from early adulthood until late in life. Their work shows that sexuality remains an important part of life as people age and that the frequency of sexual activity, for those who are active, declines only slightly from the 50s to the early 70s.
