Twilight Love, or Moral Decay? The social thinking triggered by the 81-year-old man's prostitution case
The picture comes from the Internet
In the dimly lit rental house, 81-year-old Uncle Yin trembled and took out a crumpled 25 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Aunt Sun who was wearing heavy makeup in front of him
"The 81-year-old man was arrested for soliciting prostitution!" This news was like thunder on the ground, quickly detonating the Internet, and people were shocked, and they couldn't help but think: What drove an elderly man to this illegal road? Is it the physical need that has nowhere to be placed, or is the spiritual emptiness seeking solace? How many unknown social problems are hidden behind this incident?
Chapter 1: Is the Need for Sex Still Present in the Twilight Years?
"Don't old people have sexual needs?" In the face of reporters' questions, 65-year-old Aunt Li did not shy away from saying her thoughts, she believes that sex is an instinctive human need, and even in old age, this need will not disappear completely
In fact, Aunt Li's view is not an exception, in recent years, with the opening of social concepts and the deepening of the aging of the population, the issue of sexual needs of the elderly has gradually entered the public eye, according to a survey by the Geriatric Psychology Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 53% of the elderly still have sexual needs, of which the 60-70 age group has the strongest demand
In contrast to the strong demand, it is the society's neglect and indifference to the sexual needs of the elderly, in the traditional concept, "sex" seems to be the patent of young people, and the elderly talk about "sex" is regarded as shame and taboo, this deep-rooted prejudice has led to the long-term suppression of the sexual needs of the elderly, and even regarded as a flood beast
Chapter 2: Empty Nesters, Who Will Soothe Their Loneliness?
"My wife left early, and the children were not around, so in addition to eating and sleeping every day, I was in a daze against the wall," 72-year-old Uncle Wang said in an interview, his tone was full of loneliness and helplessness
Data shows that by the end of 2022, there were 280 million elderly people aged 60 and above in mainland China, of which more than 120 million were living alone and empty-nesters
"Many elderly people don't really want to prostitution, they are just too lonely and want to find someone to talk to and chat," an expert who has been engaged in psychological counseling for the elderly for a long time pointed out that behind the prostitution behavior of the elderly, there are often hidden deep psychological needs, and they are eager to be noticed, understood, and cared for, but these needs are difficult to meet in real life
Chapter 3: Absent Children, Misplaced Filial Piety?
"We are usually busy with work and have no time to spend with our parents, so we can only give them money and let them take care of themselves," a young white-collar worker said in an interview
In the fast-paced modern society, many children are busy with work and life, ignoring the spiritual care for their parents, they believe that as long as they provide their parents with a good material life, they are filial piety, but this "material filial piety" can not fill the emotional emptiness in the hearts of parents
The picture comes from the Internet
"True filial piety is not only material satisfaction, but more importantly, spiritual companionship and emotional comfort," a sociologist pointed out, children should spend more time with their parents, listen to their hearts, care about their lives, and let them feel the warmth and love from the family
Chapter 4: How to Define the Boundary between Law and Morality?
Uncle Yin's prostitution behavior undoubtedly violated the law, should we also reflect on the legal sanctions: what kind of social environment forced an elderly man onto this road of violating laws and disciplines?
"We must not only resolutely crack down on the behavior of the elderly who solicit prostitution, but also look at it rationally," a legal expert said, adding that when formulating relevant laws and regulations, the special situation of the elderly should be taken into account and more humanistic care should be given to them
Society should also strengthen guidance and education on the sexual needs of the elderly, help them establish correct sexual concepts, and avoid embarking on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes
Chapter 5: Building an age-friendly society is a long way to go
Uncle Yin's prostitution case has sounded the alarm for us, reminding us that it is urgent to pay attention to the physical and mental health of the elderly and build an age-friendly society
It is necessary to strengthen society's attention and understanding of the sexual needs of the elderly, break the shackles of traditional concepts, and face up to the rationality and legitimacy of the sexual needs of the elderly
It is necessary to improve the social pension service system, provide more emotional care and spiritual comfort for the elderly, encourage the community to carry out a variety of elderly activities, and build a platform for communication and exchange for the elderly
Third, we should advocate that children accompany their parents more and give them more emotional support, so that the elderly can feel the warmth and love from their families and enjoy a happy life in their old age
Fourth, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education on the rule of law, guide the elderly to establish correct sexual concepts and legal awareness, help them stay away from violations and crimes, and protect their own legitimate rights and interests
"Mo Dao Sangyu night, for the sun is still full of sky" elderly people are the precious wealth of the society, they have made great contributions to the country and society, let us work together to create a warmer and friendly social environment for the elderly, so that they can rely on the old, the old have fun, the old have something to do!
