Better health correlates with greater quality and interest in sex for the elderly.

A University of Chicago study has revealed that middle-aged and older men and women who perceive themselves to be in very good health are significantly more likely to have a greater interest in sexual activity, as well as having more satisfying sexual experiences.

Men seem to lose more years of sexual activity than women as a result of poor health. In fact, men’s physical health problems are the most commonly cited reason by both sexes for sexual inactivity in later life.

PositiveTip: Choosing a healthy, balanced lifestyle not only enhances sexual relationships in marriage during the later years, it also extends the overall quantity and quality of life.

CDC has surveyed the sexual health of young people--and the report is disturbing. Among the findings:

• Approximately 14% reported having had sexual intercourse before age 15.
• Twenty-five percent of females between 15 and 19, and nearly half of those between 20 and 24, had evidence of HPV infection.
• Only two thirds reported using condoms during their first intercourse.
