Chapter 6- sex over the life course.

The patterns of sexual activity begin to change as we grow up. In the U.S women become sexual active around 16 years old and women by the age of 17. By the mid-twenties more that 90 percent of woman and man are sexually active.
By the age of fifty, the rate of sexually active people start to decline. By the age of sixty, the 15 percent of man and 40 percent of woman said they haven't sexually active in the past year.
And contrary to popular stereotypes, sexual activity is a normal part of life for most older people.
