Over-Hyped Sex Study: Old People Still Go At It

Wallowing in the stinky pit of slow news at the end of such a brutal August has left the Miami Herald (and us) no choice but to hype up tomorrow’s full release of the most comprehensive study ever done about geriatric sex habits. (Phrases like “erection trouble” and “vaginal dryness” are just the tip.) Published in today’s New England Journal of Medicine, the study surveyed from 3,005 senior citizens about doing the nasty to come to the conclusion that your grandma shags like a minx. Meaning, she and many of her buddies still have sex. A lot. The findings reinforce the reason the study was commissioned in the first place, something we knew already knew–that “sex is important to health and happiness.” Diminutive Dr. Ruth decides to weave this truth into some graphic advice:

“Older people should stop looking at their bodies and saying, ‘My body doesn’t look like it did when I was 25.’ Go out and buy some sexy lingerie, not necessarily the ones that younger people buy,” she urged.

Gross.
