Sexually Active Oldsters

This WaPo article about sexually active octogenarians was heartening. The lead: “Many people maintain rich, active sex lives well into their 80s, according to the first detailed examination of sexuality among older Americans.” I thought old guys were taking all the Viagra just to help keep them from falling out of bed.

But buried several column inches down comes this reveal: “Being sexually active was defined as having had mutually voluntary sexual contact with another person within the past 12 months.”

Seriously, having sex once a year makes you “sexually active”? I feel like some kind of sex addict now what with my crazy quarterly sex.
