I read an article about sex in nursing homes and according the the writer, who happens to be a doctor too, \"If you\'ve made it to age 95, I\'m sorry, but having sex is not going to kill you—it\'s going to prolong your life.\"

I think seniors have the right to have sex. Though, I don\'t want to know the details about how the do it

As a caregiver, I know seniors have their needs too. So they should be free to have sex for as long as they\'re healthy. I don\'t want seeing nor making my patients or other seniors feel deprived of sex. They\'re not young anymore, therefore they should be treated as mature adults. My only concern is how to protect them from sexually transmitted diseases. Keep in mind that the seniors are more prone to infections as they have weaker immune system.
