| Popis: | Abstract There is a substantial increase in the total geriatric population worldwide. This change in demography calls for a greater, deeper, and thorough understanding of elderly and age-related issues. Even though sexuality is a basic and vital driving force, human sexuality, especially elderly sexuality, is frequently misunderstood. Many myths and misconceptions regarding elderly sexuality exist which need attention. Contrary to the popular belief, studies reveal that sexual life continues to be an important aspect in later life and is often viewed by elderly as an expression of love, passion, affection, admiration, and loyalty. Various factors play a role in elderly sexuality including that of bio-psycho-social factors, changes in the body, presence of comorbid conditions along with sexual disorders. Sexual disorders, if present, should be treated and addressed adequately. |
