| Popis | Background: This study explores the characteristics of people aged 50+ who use the internet for sexual purposes. Methods: The markers of sexual expression in association with online sexual activities and their perceived benefits to sexual life were investigated in a sample of 799 internet-recruited Czechs aged 50–96 (54.5% men). Results: The analysis employed multivariate logistic regressions that showed that seeking sexually related information online was higher in men who have erectile difficulties and women who are dissatisfied with sexual frequency. Online pornography use and accessing sex-shop websites were higher for participants who masturbated. Visiting online sex shops was associated with the perceived benefits of Internet use for sexual purposes. The absence of a relationship, the frequency of partnered sex and sexual desire had no predictive effect. Conclusions: The findings suggest that older people use the Internet as a convenient source for sexual stimuli and for enhancing partnered sex, and online sex shops may be beneficial for their sexual lives. |
