When Kansas State University sent researchers into nursing homes to find out how the topic of sex was being addressed, they initially found silence. "Nobody was talking about it; it was a really hush-hush subject," said Gayle Doll, director of the university's Center on Aging. "I guess it's hard enough for people to think about their parents having sex, let alone their grandparents." In response, the researchers have produced seminars and training aids to encourage nursing home caregivers to discuss and accommodate sexual desires The effort brings Kansas into a national discussion that advocates say will only grow as baby boomers age and take their beliefs about sexual freedom and civil rights into the nation's nursing homes.
