TORONTO — Unmarried baby boomers are enjoying better sex, are open to threesomes and are not looking to get married, according to a recent poll conducted by dating site Lavalife .
One thousand adults born between 1946 and 1964 were questioned in the survey. Forty-six percent said they enjoyed sex more now than they did during their 20s and 30s.
"I think we're looking at a generation that really sees this time as a great period in life," Lavalife’s Marina Glogovac said. "Most of these people are looking to enhance their lives, so they're not really sitting there and saying I'm desperate, I need to live with someone. Their attitude is, we want to meet interesting people."
According to the American Association of Retired People (AARP), there are an estimated 85 million baby boomers in North America comprising nearly 28 percent of the adult population. About 30 percent are single.
The poll showed that 34 percent would have sex on a first date compared with 17 percent of singles in generation X, or people born between 1965 and 1982.
Twenty-five percent of sexually active boomers were open to participating in a threesome.
