Older Riders Have More Sex, Study Reveals

In case you had any doubts on how riding a bike can improve your sex life, results from the new AARP sex survey, Sex, Romance, and Relationships: AARP Survey of Midlife and Older Adults, released last week, showed that older single bikers have more sex than may be generally considered.

According to clutchandchrome.com, the study also found that they ride the intimate road without any safety gear, if you know what we mean... Specifically, only one in five reported using condoms regularly.

"Older Americans are staying sexually active, showing that you don't have to be young to have a great sex life," AARP's Love & Relationships Ambassador, Pepper Schwartz, said in a release. "What is worrisome is that aging Americans are endangering their health by not practicing safe sex so reinforcing that the use of protection is important at any age is critical."

On behalf of AARP, Knowledge Networks surveyed 1,670 adults ages 45 and older in August of 2009 via a telephone recruited online panel. The survey was administered in both English and Spanish, and included an over-sample of 500 Hispanics, for a total of 630 Hispanic respondents.

Other findings revealed by the study revealed that men think about sex more than women (men are more than five times more likely than women - 45% vs. 8% - to say they think of sex once or more every day); men also rank sex higher on the list of what makes for a high quality of life.
