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:

It's a drastic change from how we've structured our modern cultures so it is going to take some time to find broad acceptance.

But it is becoming less rare among young people as well. There is a poly flag among the lbgt+ types.

My own poly lifestyle is known among family, but not at work.

@ViciDraco @ViciDraco Do you mind if I ask you how polyamory 'works' in your family? Discuss it here or by message?

@JollyRoger I presently live with my girlfriend. She goes out with her other boyfriend, usually on Friday and Monday nights. Sometimes he'll come to a holiday family party. If we need help around the house he'll come lend a hand. He and I get along, but we have no real relationship with each other except through her.

I am allowed to pursue others as well. Though I tend to be more shy and don't get out of the house as much so I haven't really taken advantage of it.

@ViciDraco So long as it works, great! Nice to know that he is 'involved' in your living situation. Now, if you don't mind: What is her motivation to this arrangement? For example was he a previous 'love connection' she can't give up, or some other link to her past? Or is it just that she likes joy of diversity? Or something else?

@JollyRoger He is someone she met going out to karaoke nights. Which is something I have never had interest in.
