It  found that for older women, a greater frequency of kissing, petting and fondling was associated with a higher enjoyment of life, as was feeling emotionally close to their partner during sex.  However, there was not a significant association with sexual intercourse.On the other hand, amongst older men, satisfaction with their sex life and frequency of sexual intercourse was associated with greater enjoyment of life. The results, published in the journal Sexual Medicine, indicated that sexual intercourse may be more important for older men than women in terms of well-being, while women’s enjoyment more closely related to other sexual activities.”If encouraging and supporting people to continue to enjoy a healthy sex life in old age could help boost well-being, there may be benefits both for the individual and for the sustainability of health services,” said Sarah Jackson, a researcher.
