as long as it’s consensual it shouldn’t matter if a family member disapproves - they’re adults, so again as long as it’s consensual and they aren’t being lewd publicly it doesn’t matter if a relative doesn’t approve

Hey, sex is good for your brain and your heart. It can also be more fun than playing bridge or other activities.

As long as they are both consenting, I don’t see the big deal? My FIL talks more about his high school sweetheart than his wife (deceased) of 55 years, and we just roll with it. His mind is back there in time and it gives him good feelings. There is no doubt he loved my MIL deeply and they had a wonderful marriage. Where his memories are focused now doesn’t negate any of that.
