This sounds exactly how I feel about a relationship.

So how is dating at 70 different than dating at 25 or 30?

Are older folks using apps?

Where are they meeting people?

Does it look very similar to young dating or is it slightly different?

They've passed.

That makes perfect sense.

Do the mechanics of intimacy change?

Like, I know there's drugs on the market for things like ED.

I know there's some medical changes that happen in our body as we age.

Do people go through this stuff and navigate it just to make it work?

What does adaptability look like at that age?

I mean, this is advice we give to people in their 20s and 30s, too.

So I guess there isn't in some ways huge changes.

so they were like we just we work in other other positions other things and we just make it work i'm here with lauren harris a human development and family studies professor at the university of new hampshire who's done a recent study about sex as we age when we come back there's also a public health angle here for example sexually transmitted infections are on the rise amongst older adults we'll discuss that what we can do about that and more we'll be back with lauren in a moment

Sex as we age.

According to a new study, into our 80s even, sex still happens amongst older adults.

We are talking about dating as we age.

And one thing on the rise, there's a bit of a public health angle here, sexually transmitted infections are on the rise with older adults.

I'm here with Lauren Harris, a human development and family studies professor at the University of New Hampshire, whose recent study goes over all this.
