What is Sexspan?

Many are familiar with the concept of Healthspan, which is the portion of life spent in good health. However, most do not consider their Sexspan.

Your Sexspan is the portion of your life in which you will have the ability and/or the desire to engage in sexual activity.

With the increase in life expectancy, or Lifespan, many not only want to live longer but also engage in sex well into old age. Most find it important that their Sexspan lasts as long as their Lifespan.
