"True to the stereotype, men are more likely to say they 'really love' making love (64%) than any other of 12 activities asked about. Men keep this passion well into later


life..." "Women, on the other hand, tend to 'really love' a wider variety of activities than do men, and are more likely to sustain their passions into later life. By a


fair margin over other activities asked about, women are most likely to say they love spending time with family (70%). This remains the top passion from age 18 into their later years."
