Neena Gupta (Neena Gupta) has recently once again made headlines with her outspoken and honest style. Famous Bollywood actress Neena Gupta, who is known for her open thinking and speaking on taboo topics of the society, said a shocking but funny thing on the sexual life of the elderly in Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast. This clip has become increasingly viral on social media, where people are praising his honesty and courage.
Shubhankar asked Neena whether sexuality is seen as a sin in India? The actress’s answer was ‘no’ but her views were very different. She told the story of her school when one of her friends said that our class teacher’s boyfriend had come. Hearing this, Neena got angry and she felt that how can a teacher have a boyfriend, her image should always be clean. He said, ‘Our minds are having similar thoughts about sex, this is a wrong thing. We couldn’t even talk openly about the word ‘love’ in girls’ school. In her teenage years, she believed that girls could become pregnant just by kissing.
Do older people have more sex?
The topic of conversation during the podcast was on the intimacy of the elderly and different aspects of their lives. Shubhankar told Neena that he had interviewed a sexologist. That sexologist said something interesting, ‘Old people have too much sex.’ Neena herself was surprised to hear this and asked in a joking tone, ‘Do old people have a lot of sex?’ But then he took the sexologist’s point further and said, ‘Yes, but he does not do it with his wife. I have seen it in many such cases. The veteran actress also told that when she was in university, it was only old people who touched women inappropriately in the bus.
How deep is this point?
However, this point of this conversation was very deep. In which it is clear that sexual desire or physical desire does not end with increasing age. No matter what age a person is, he still has those desires. But many times that warmth, understanding or opportunity is not found in the relationship between husband and wife. Partners ignore each other’s needs, or conversations get suppressed due to society. The result is that many elderly people find outside ways to fulfill their desires.
elders are humans too
Neena put this matter very directly and clearly without any pretense. This statement touches a big taboo in the society. Our society sees the elderly only as religious, family-oriented or sick people. But Neena Gupta reminded that elders are also human beings. They also have feelings, wants and needs. Sex or intimacy is not just a youth thing. Even at the age of 60, 70 or 80, the desire for romance, physical closeness and love remains.
What is the psychology behind this?
- There are many psychological reasons behind sexual desire and behavior in the elderly:
- Desire does not end, it just changes.
- Journal of Sex Research: Hormones (testosterone, estrogen) decrease with age, but a person’s sexual need does not disappear completely.
- To maintain health (like exercise – lowers blood pressure, relieves depression).
- to feel young
- For closeness and intimacy – love, touch, feeling of being together.
- To please your partner
