Sex, Love and Intimacy in Later Life

A film produced by The Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing and Manchester Metropolitan University. Human sexuality is a universal part of living but stereotypes of older adults commonly ignore the importance of sexuality, and the question of how important sexual activity and fulfillment is to older people with respect to their overall health and well-being continues to be neglected. Population-based surveys have shown that while many older people over the age of 50 remain sexually active, sexual health remains a concern for men and women beyond the reproductive years. A wide range of physical and psychological health conditions, the drugs used to treat them, and chronic disability can adversely affect sexual activity and satisfaction. From the perspective of successful ageing, an important question is the manner in which transitions in health and sexuality intersect in later life to influence how individuals and couples flourish both physically and mentally.
