Hello,
At an age of seventy, the most likely reason behind inappropriate and disinhibited sexual behaviour is likely to be dementia, or any other brain pathology. A neurologist or a psychiatrist will be the health professionals you should contact..
Kindly do not delay consultation as the cause of these behaviours needs to be elucidated..
Hope this helps you. Best wishes for your health and future..
