Boomers Still Having Sex at Least Once a Week - Findings of Sex Survey from TeeBeeDee, Social Network for People Over 40
Online Boomer Social Network TeeBeeDee, surveyed men and women over 40 about how their sex lives have changed with age, and found that Boomers are still having sex at least once a week.
San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) April 22, 2009 -- TeeBeeDee (www.tbd.com), a social network for adults 40+ who believe life is still to be determined, offers insights and advice directly from TeeBeeDee members. Recently, TBD surveyed its membership about how their sex lives have changed with age and found that sex is still a central component -- most still have sex at least once a week. However, a surprising 37% claim their libidos are now worse than when they were teenagers. TeeBeeDee also asked Boomers what they thought about sex-enhancing drugs like Viagra, and found that over 60% have never tried them; but the 18% who have used them, said they are "a miracle."
TeeBeeDee Founder Robin Wolaner is also the founder of Parenting Magazine, and she comments "Parenting used to survey new parents about sex and found that they were barely having any. Now I am at a company surveying so-called 'older people' and finding there's hope after the kids are grown. In fact, several members criticized us because the highest-frequency choice we offered was once a week -- they thought it should be once a day."
TeeBeeDee always knew the generation that came up with the Summer of Love would love talking about sex. The Sex Talk group houses some of the most active and interesting conversations on the site and boasts over 6,400 members. And TeeBeeDee has also found that Boomers are more adventurous about trying online dating than ever before. Although TeeBeeDee is not a dating site, it has become a successful alternative for Boomers looking to find romance. The network's winning formula for connecting people over 40 includes: An easy-to-use, FREE Members page, which helps Boomers discover new friends who live nearby or have similar interests. Members can also mingle with new people through engaging discussions and interest groups. TeeBeeDee is part of the hot online trend of "people discovery" or "social discovery" -- networks for meeting new people, in contrast to networks that strengthen existing connections.
