| Annotation | Changes in attitudes to sexuality and sexual health are being noticed as the baby boomer generation approaches older age. This short article notes recent findings on trends in over 50s' sexual lifestyles: the rapid rise in HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections; and the growing medicalisation of sexuality and the arrival of pharmaceuticals such as Viagra. However, other research suggests that while those working with older people must expect to deal with late-life sexual concerns, older people worry about appropriateness, tending not to initiate such discussions.
