I don't think it's necessarily generational, I think it just happens as men get older.
Ever since I was a kid I've had to visit relatives in "the home" periodically, and I've always seen the older men in the facilities, at the very least, make suggestive comments to the nurses. In turn, the staff seems to treat it as one of those "It comes with the job" kind of things, whereby it's either expected or at least tolerated.
"Getting fresh" is apparently a perk for having a certain number of Birthdays. These guys are literally dying, and it makes sense they'd want to "yuk it up" on the way out. Add to that, a lot of them have some form of dementia or are otherwise mentally impaired. Since they'd need jumper cables to even get an erection and can't walk to the toilet without assistance, they're pretty much "harmless", so while I'm sure the female staffers aren't thrilled with the environment, they mostly just seem to go, "Oh, you!" and wave it away.
Sure, it's crude, and crass, and selfish, and insensitive. But I understand it. Once you hit a point where the next nurse's butt you compliment could literally be the very last one of your entire life, you're gonna do you and the hell with the rest of it.
