Abstract
In the literature on North American gerontology the topic of 'sexualit
y and aging' has produced only a handful of studies, primarily in the
1970s. This paper is an overview of the topic. It examines some of the
current issues related to aging and sexuality. Included are the myths
, stereotypes, factual trends, sexual changes, institutional life and
sexuality and professionals in institutions. The positive aspects of s
exuality and aging are also explored.
