"The Unspoken Realities of Sex in Your 70s"

Sex in older age is often shrouded in mystery due to societal taboos and ageist attitudes, leading to limited discussions and representations of sex in later life. However, many AARP-aged individuals are still sexually active and interested in sex, with some reporting that the quality of sex can improve with age. While aging may bring physical barriers and changes, there are workarounds and adaptations that can help maintain a fulfilling sex life. Emotional connection and intimacy become more important, and sexual desire may not always be spontaneous. Overall, increased awareness, education, and open dialogue about sex and aging can help eliminate the mystery and promote healthier attitudes toward sexuality in older age groups.

Landmark Conviction: Japanese Ex-Soldiers Guilty in Sexual Assault Case

Three former soldiers in Japan have been found guilty of sexually assaulting a female colleague, marking a victory for the victim in a society where speaking out against sexual violence remains largely taboo. The case of Rina Gonoi, a former member of Japan's Self Defence Forces, drew international attention and highlighted the challenges faced by victims in a traditional, male-dominated society. The defendants, who denied the charges, received a two-year suspended sentence each. Gonoi's decision to go public with her accusations led to an apology from Japan's defense ministry and a wider investigation into sexual assault in the military.
