The French make love less, yet the number of partners an individual has during his or her life is increasing. This is the observation made by Inserm this Wednesday, November 13 at the end of a long-term study.
However, one question remains taboo: what about the sexuality of older people? Studies are lacking on this subject. However, it seems that love has no age. A report from the Petits Frères des Pauvres association published in 2022 shows thatone in two elderly people (aged 60 and over) have intimate relationships and 90% of them are satisfied with them. We are therefore far from the preconceived ideas conveyed according to which older people are retired from sex.
A series to talk about it
A French series breaks these clichés, it is aptly called “Seventh Heaven”. On November 19, season 2 of this television series will be released which does not hesitate to show what we are not used to seeing on screen. “ A wrinkled neck, a wrinkled hand on the hips, a neckline, these were things that we weren't used to seeing, but which were very sensual” Clémence Azincourt, creator of the series, told franceinfo.
While season 1 of the soap opera released in 2023 takes place in an EHPAD where love flows freely, retirees test participatory housing in season 2. This new life could awaken new, unsuspected desires among the group of friends.
“Seventh Heaven” can be found from November 19, 2024 on Ciné+ OCS.
