Correlates of sexual activity and satisfaction in midlife and older women.
The authors gave updated prevalence estimates of sexual activity among women and elucidated factors associated with sexual activity and sexual satisfaction. Using the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States, they found that a considerable proportion of midlife and older women remain sexually active if they have a partner available. Additionally, psychosocial factors matter more to sexual satisfaction than aging among midlife and older women.
