Dr Jose Delgado described the device at a symposium, noting potential risks and the need for careful application.

Therapeutic Use Of Sex Urged For Elderly Care
Salt Lake City gerontologist Dr. Victor Kassel urges nursing home operators to acknowledge the therapeutic value of sexual activity for the aged. He says it reduces anxieties and can replace other relief methods, advocating tolerant attitudes toward sexuality, including among unmarried couples and homosexuals, with dedicated spaces in facilities. He argues marriage among the elderly is often impractical and cautions against overemphasis on family approval over patient needs.
