    Sex and Aging - How Aging Can Impact our Sexuality
    Often sexuality is overlooked when we talk about elderly people. Most of the societies believe that sexuality is meant primarily for the young. But in reality sex and sexual feelings are of equal interest for the elderly people. Bodies change when a child grows to an adult likewise an adult body changes when he or she grows old.
