Attention called to sexual life of elderly "Forty. Want it?"
( 2003-08-19 10:51) (China Daily)
When middle-aged women accost elderly males strolling in parks this way, they
are not selling trinkets but making offers for sex deals, said policemen.
Prostitution targeting senior citizens has been on the increase in recent
years, leading to a new trend in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases
(STD), reports Guangzhou Daily.
At Guangzhou Huaqiao Hospital, about 10 per cent of male venereal disease
patients are over the age of 65.
Society has to stop pretending senior citizens lead a sexless life.
Safe-sex campaigns should include senior citizens in their target audience.
And more importantly, psychological guidance should be provided for the special
group, said Zhuo, a director of the hospital's STD department.
