Older people's sexual concerns ignored because of age

While the young have a healthy sex life, the old have several concerns because they are old and cannot perform in bed. It makes matters worse as a recent study showed that general physicians do not pay attention to old people and their sexual problems.

The concerns are because the doctors consider them old and hence no remedies can help. Both male and females said that they face problems of sexual desire and physical issues but the health workers did not take them seriously. According to a report in the Telegraph, one 80-year-old man was refused Viagra as it was “too expensive” for him.

The researchers said that if old people had more proactive discussions when they were younger, they would have been better informed about their sex lives in their old age. The concerns of older people are much more than any younger individual but the problems aren’t addressed because there is not much one can do at that age, according to their general physicians.
