Sex isn’t something you leave behind in your youth, in fact, a new poll suggests more people are staying intimate as they age.

 According to a poll, conducted by the University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation published earlier this month, 40 per cent of people between the ages of 65 and 80 in the U.S. reported being sexually active.

 “Sex is an important part of a romantic relationship for many older adults and it’s also important to [one’s] quality of life,” says Dr. Erica Solway of the University of Michigan, who lead the poll. “We recognize this is an important topic that relates to their well-being and something that doesn’t get the attention that it deserves.”
