The influence of ageing on baby boomers' not so straight sexualities

This article draws on data from an internet survey of 67 Australian baby boomers, now in their 50s and 60s, that explores the influence of ageing on their sexual expression. Utilizing a form of narrative analysis, express attention is given to what the data reveal about the 25 baby boomers (37.5% of the sample) who consider their sexual orientations and preferences to be not exclusively heterosexual or homosexual. The findings indicate that ageing is attributed considerable and favourable importance by this non-exclusive subset of baby boomers in the reappraisal of their sexual orientations or preferences.
