This is a translation of a danish news story:

Several retirement homes have started to show XXX rated movies on their internal video system every saturday night in Denmark. The reason they are doing this, is that it have a calming effect on people who have dementia of some sort.

According to a newsletter from the "old peoples society" the XXX rated movies are both healthier, cheaper and easier than any kind of sedatives that they usually administer.

Does this prove that sex indeed are good for people or what?

Having worked in a nursing home for 10 years I'd like to mention that one of the early stages of dementia is an increase in sexual desire. It is the losing of one's inhabitions that is part of it I think.

They forget that maybe they shouldn't act out with their desires and that is often why caregivers get groped some much. Maybe watching an xxx movies is just enough to satisfy their desires for a little while.

I also think that a lot of demented people's restlessness could be a need for release. It's like a big vicious circle. They have an increase in sexual desire which makes them restless and needy. They are restless and needy but they don't know why or how to deal with it so they act out. They act out, groping or acting in a sexual way so we sedate them. The sedative wears off and it starts all over again.
