For some close minded people, the concept of romance in the sunset years is completely out of question, though it is a well known fact that late romance could be the sweetest ever.

This confusion around experiencing romance later in life is caused by two misconceptions regarding older people. The main one is that seniors are not sexually active. This is far from the truth, as sexuality is a healthy component of adult life at all phases and older people are just as capable of sexuality in their relationships as younger people.

The second misconception is that seniors are not romantic people, and this is also far from the truth. This myth must have been started by people who never spent time with their elders. Contrary, seniors are very romantic people. If anyone ever thought about tracking the seniors movie rental patterns, they probably realized that older people love romantic comedies and have high interest in romantic relationships.

In most of senior couples, romance is blossoming in the retirement years. It becomes even sweeter, more exciting than it was even when they were dating, because all the stress is gone. We all know that stress can take away the emotional and mental energy needed for romance. At the retirement age, all that stress related to raising children, to work, to making ends meet, or any other social pressure has vanished.

Regarding single senior citizens, well, they are perfectly capable to have an active dating life and to enjoy romantic evenings which each other. This excitement and thrill of finding new romance will enrich their lives and keep them upbeat. Even more than that, at golden age single men and women have finally the time to nurture a romantic relationship. Dating and enjoying romantic times provide them with the much needed companionship at golden age.
