People in their 70s now were right there when the soldiers came home from WWII, Teddy Boys got into razor and bike-chain fights, Eddie Cochrane and Gene Vincent were the original Motorbike Bad Boys, when the Beatles hit, and were beginning to raise families when Flower Power began.
Somehow, though your sexuality changes to some degree over time, I don't imagine you wake up one day and find it's gone. In a world obsessed with youth, we find it hard to see elderly people (or people with handicaps) as sexual, but I'm willing to bet they're as stuck with the basic urges as anyone else. And I say that's a good thing - I don't want to lose my mojo just because I get older.
