With the improvement of material living standards, the physical quality of the elderly has indeed been improved unprecedentedly, especially their sexual needs and abilities, which have not been lost with age as most people think. As long as the elderly are physically and mentally healthy, they also need sex. According to experts in sexual medicine at home and abroad, most elderly people's sexual life can last until they are over 70 years old, and some can last until they are around 80 years old.
However, the objective existence of sexual needs of the elderly has not received due attention. In the traditional cultural atmosphere of our country, many elderly men with sexual needs are afraid, unwilling and embarrassed to meet their physical and psychological needs through normal ways of making friends or marriage, so they can only struggle to suppress them, and over time they will gradually form an extremely hungry sexual psychology.
At a certain time and occasion, when some elderly men encounter sexual stimulation, their ethical awareness and legal concept can easily collapse in an instant, and they often take extreme ways such as obscenity or even rape to vent their sexual desire. Because of their psychological and physiological characteristics, older men tend to target young girls and mentally retarded women, so older men often make shocking cases.
The lack of cultural life is also an important reason for the frequent occurrence of sexual crimes among the elderly. Many old people just take care of their children at home and go out to buy food. There are only a handful of recreational activities they can engage in, such as playing cards, rubbing hemp, practicing boxing, dancing and playing gateball. If it is in the countryside, there are even fewer healthy lifestyles and entertainment methods.
