Same thing if a worker died in mid-life Similar to any other insurance program, public or private, whether the risk is against illness, car wreck, or house fire.

More time & direct stimulation to achieve erection Plateau period may be long in older men, allowing them to maintain erection longer before ejaculation  Ejaculatory force – reduced  Orgasm – shorter/less intense  Fewer pelvic contractions – less sex flush  Erection subside quicker  Longer time for another erection  Plateau – resolution w/o ejaculation o Females:  Decreased vaginal lubrication/expansion w/ stimuli  No diff. nipple erection & clitoral response  Orgasmic/resolution longer  Capacity achieve orgasms not change  Inc. vaginal lube, elasticity, & vaginal depth active vs. non  Use it or lose it sex functioning University Chicago Sexuality Study Findings o 3005 adults ages 57 – 85, 2 hour face to face interviews o Many are sexually active as long as their health holds out o In the preceding 12 months: 73% ages 57 – 64 53% ages 65 – 74 26% ages 75 – 85 were sexually active o 54% of the oldest sexually active respondents reported having sex at least two to three times per month; 23% reported having sex once a week or more o About ½ men and women under age 75 engaged in oral sex in the previous 12 months o 14% of men reported taking medication to improve o Sexual function; 1% of women o 38% of men and 22% of women reported having discussed sex with a physician since the age of 50 o Masturbation lower among respondents at older ages and higher among men than women o Women more likely to rate sex as being “not important at all” – respondents who were not sexually active more likely to give this answer o ½ all respondents reported having at least one bothersome sexual problem – 1/3 reported at least two Benefits of Physical Activity and Strength Training o Strength  Maintain metabolism  More muscle tissue  
