Who are the polyamory advocates for seniors? [I Am Polyamory]

I'm coming 71 years old. My days of procreation ended when I was 34 and had a vascectomy. My wife is my age and post-menopausal(no surprise there?).
Social scientists report that STIs are running rampant through the country's long term care (LTC) homes. Why? Because older folk still like the feel of holding someone close and being held close and sex (when possible) is the finest mechanism for fostering such feelings.
So... why, when most people in LTC homes are either separated from their spouses due to illness or are widow(er)ed and are wanting to practise sex with available people is it still such a TABOO subject - rejected by society?? Why doesn't someone advocate in the media for its acceptance?
One person cannot stand alone to publicly raise this topic.... it needs a 'movement' of like-minded people.

I forgot an attachment, I liked this link:

Couldn’t you just do it with a willing participant?

@Keepitsimple Oh yes..... but it's the 'acceptability' of it by society - by the people who run long term care institutions. Anyone can have sex with the opposite gender, but it's the weird reactions to having more than one partner that creates the problem.....Why does that reaction exist?
