Sexuality is not just for the young. Results from a University of Chicago survey published in 2007 suggested that over half of Americans remain sexually active well into their 70s. That said, sexual activity does subside with age.

But researchers at Indiana University report that 20% to 30% of long-lived Americans are sexually active into their 80s.
