Suggestions
Include ideas on sexuality and intimacy for relationships in older age and the importance of its recognition; how its still healthy to practice even as you age. I’d like to mention more on ageist ideas and societal tendencies to shy away from discussing sexuality with older adults. Brief explanation of why sexuality in older adults is on the radar, as it relates population group percentage increase. Natural health concerns associated with older age should also be mentioned, along with benefits of a healthy sexual relationship, and health concerns and education. One study I like mentions research on participants “sexual well-being;” basically what they are doing and how often. The importance of self-esteem is also mentioned several times so I’d like to incorporate that as well. There is an additional article I have on HIV rates and predictions among adults 65 years and older. I can mention this with how older adults are living with STDs, other health concerns, statistics, and sexual behavior.

I believe that overall this is a great article and the topic of sexuality in older age is a very interesting topic that is not discussed as much as it should be in my opinion. One tip I would give is to check all of your sources and make sure that they are correct and up to date. Also to make sure that the source has not been edited or deleted. Another thing that you can do that would help this article tremendously is if you were to discuss each source and why it pertains to your article and the topic of sexuality in older age. Doing this would help the reader tremendously and allow them to have a deeper understanding of why you included this source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott nielsen (talk • contribs) 19:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
