The purpose of this study is to examine the sex life of the elderly and analyze the multifaceted factors affecting the sexual life of the elderly. This study used KSHAP(Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project) data, and the subjects were aged 65 and over living in A District in Gyeonggi Province and District B in Seoul. Research methods are descriptive statistics, t-test, and tobit regression analysis. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the proportion of the elderly people to maintain their sex life is 20.1%, 17.0%, and 22.3% for the all elderly, urban elderly, and rural elderly, respectively. Second, sex, age, education level, marital status, and economic activity are factors that affect the frequency of sex life of the elderly. Among them, the influence of spouse and gender was relatively large. Third, sex, age, and marital status have a common effect on the frequency of sex living in urban and rural elderly people. The effects of socio-demographic variables and individual variables on the frequency of sex life were similar between urban and rural elderly people. Finally, the characteristics of the elderly group should be reflected in the design and application of sex-related programs for the elderly.
