Sexually Active Older Adults Seem To Be Smarter, According To Research

http---distractify-media-prod.cdn.bingo-2034374-980xEveryone knows that fucking is good for you. And now a recent study suggests that sex is especially good for older adults—particularly their cognitive functioning. The study recruited frisky older people, aged 50 to 83, and asked them questions about their sexual activity. Then it measured how well they performed on cognitive tests.

According to the study, when the older folks performed tests related to attention, memory, and other cognitive functions, “the ability to articulate oneself, and the ability to determine how objects relate to each other in space increased the more people performed sexual acts,” reports Gizmodo. The study has even more credibility because it’s a replication study of another performed last year by the same team. So there you have it, grandmas and grandpas—getting it on makes you smarter!

We’ve got good news about aging: it’s possible you could enjoy a later-life sexual peak. People in their 80s who still get frisky are often looked at as a curiosity, but lately research has shown that some older folks enjoy an active sex life. It seems older people find the emotional side of sex more fulfilling and share more sexual compatibility with their partners than in their 50s, 60s and 70s, a time of middle-age when many experience a sexual drought.

While it’s true that the majority of older people don’t have a robust sex life, as researchers say, “Among those who were [sexually active], it was quite interesting that they seemed happy with their sexual lives.” These octogenarians are considered “the healthiest people in older ager,” and there’s even been several documentaries made about their swinging sexual lifestyles, including one featuring an 80-year-old burlesque dancer and another with a 82-year-old who loves Grindr and reportedly “had sex eight times in seven days!” If these frisky older folks are any indication, aging doesn’t need to mean slowing down in the bedroom!
