Are Sexual Rolls important when you get older?

If anything, I'd think it's the opposite. Lots of younger people start out trying to live as they think they should (even in rebellion they typically follow a script of some kind), and that's especially true of sexual roles. But as they get older, they start to see the flaws in what's "supposed to be" and can become bored by them as well as just not caring as when they sought the approval of their peers so much. Ironically, they can even be haunted less by body image issues despite that they're less fit than when they were obsessing over every single (perceived) flaw while younger.

And I know movies portray older people (especially the elderly) as prudish, but I think they're the least likely to be prudes as they've had the most time to move beyond their inhibitions and truly evaluate all that they had once accepted without thinking but have finally thought about as they got older. I'm not saying people become depraved, they're actually more likely to be ethical and think ahead (not that all do), but they're less constrained by what's considered acceptable.

Starting to just want cuddles over sex these days tbu lol
