In addition, the researchers found that women reported a much higher satisfaction with sexual activities in 2000 over figures in 1971.

Women in 2000 also reported having more orgasms and less numbers of women reported having no organisms at all.

Men, on the other hand, reported less satisfaction from 1971 to 2000.

However, Beckman and his team of researchers suggest that this might be due to the more open society in 2000 than in 1971—where, today, men are more likely to report problems with sex and other related problems.

The researchers concluded, "Our study...shows that most elderly people consider sexual activity and associated feelings a natural part of later life.” [Science Daily: “Sex Really Does Get Better With Age (Just Ask A 70 Year Old)”]
