Sexual Activity Across Ages & Tools to Keep Intimacy Alive

Sexual intimacy is as much a part of human life as love and connection, yet our desires, behaviors, and experiences in this realm evolve as we age. With society becoming more open and understanding about topics once considered taboo, conversations around sex are now celebrated for their honesty and inclusivity.
But how does sexual activity change over time, and what does this mean for men and women across various stages of life? Today, we’ll explore the fascinating interplay of age, gender, and intimacy, supported by global data on sexually active populations. Whether you’re a curious adult, a seasoned researcher, or a forward-thinking health professional, this insight applies to us all.
And of course, we’ll also discuss how the right enhancements—like sex toys, sexy lingerie, and playful vibrators—can help you celebrate intimacy at every age.
Where We Are in 2024: The Baseline of Sexual Activity
To better understand sex across life stages, here’s some perspective. According to 2024 global data, being “sexually active” is defined as engaging in at least one consensual sexual encounter in the past year. This baseline serves as a reference point when discussing age groups, activity levels, and shifting norms.
With sex no longer confined to whispered conversations, people of all ages are experimenting, enjoying, and redefining intimacy. From exploring dildos and vibrators to gifting their partners sexy lingerie, the world’s openness to personal pleasure has never been greater.
