#091 - [CE Podcast] Does it surprise you to hear that the majority of adults between 65 and 80 are sexually active? ​In fact, a recent survey of more than 1,000 adults between 65-80 years old, found that 50.9% of men and 30.8% of women reported being sexually active. ​Despite older adults remaining sexually active, they are not often discussing sexual health with their health providers and when they do, older adults tend to be the ones initiating the conversation. ​So, in an effort to help mental health, senior care, and health care providers reflect on our own values and attitudes and sexuality and aging, I interview sexual health and aging expert, Dr. Maggie Syme.
