sexuality and aging
اسلاید 1: Sexual Desire and Sexual Activity of Men andWomen Across their Lifespan KK AggarwalAbstract Objective: To study the sexual desire and activity of men and women aged 30-80 years. Methodology: A representative sample was surveyed and correlated with their social, individual and interpersonal characteristics. A total of 100 subjects were recruited. Observations: The study showed that sexual desire declined with advancing age with overall men reporting more frequent and stronger sexual desire compared to women. For both men and women, sexual activity in older participants was mostly an issue of denial or disagreement of the other partner. There were additional social and personality determinants of lack of sexual desire and sexual inactivity, which included illness, lack of privacy, erectile dysfunction, spiritual reasons and menopause. Conclusions: Sexual history should be a routine part of history taking and should be undertaken during assessment of the patient.
اسلاید 2: Abstract:Low sexual desire is expected to be associated with low sexual activity. Like sexual desire, sexual activity also declines with age. Important predictors of sexual activity of aging men are availability of a partner, infrequent sexual activity, low satisfaction with sexual performance, limited ability to speak about sexuality, certain personality characteristics, in particular low openness and lack of social resonance. Sexual satisfaction is an important domain of sexual functioning in both men and women.
اسلاید 3: Methodology The study was based on a representative survey of the population, recruiting a total of 100 people aged 30-80 years. The sample comprised of 68 men and 32 women. For further analysis, the study sample was divided into five age groups of comparable size: 30-40 years (n = 7), 41-50 years (n = 20), 51-60 years (n = 38), 61-70 years (n = 24) and >70 years (n = 11). The mean age of the men was 56.86 years and of women was 56.18 years. All study participants were given a questionnaire on an outpatient basis followed by face-to-face interview in the hospital setting. *All study subjects were married, none were divorced or separated; 7 were widowed (2 men and 7 women). Overall 93% lived with a partner. *Employment rates differed between men and women; more men than women were employed, 72.05% (49/68) versus 25% (8/32), respectively.** Forty-nine (72.05%) of the 68 males were professionals; 19 (27.94%) were retired. ** Out of 32 women, 24 (75%) were housewives and 8 (25%) were working.*The average age at which the men stopped sexual life was 56.91 years.*The average age at which the women stopped sexual life was 56 years.

اسلاید 5: Observations The frequency and intensity of sexual desire in men and women according to age were analyzed separately for the five age groups. The frequency was rated as follows:Very frequent or frequent: Sexually active Occasional or rare: Partially sexually active Nil: Not sexually active
اسلاید 6: Frequency of Sexual Activity in Men Below the age of 50 years, all men (n = 19) were sexually active with zero percent reporting no sexual activity. Only one person (5.26%) was partially sexually active. After the age of 50 years (n = 49), 24.48% of men were fully sexually active; 30.61% were partially sexually active and 46.93% were not sexually active. After the age of 60 years, none of the men were fully sexually active. ‘No sexual activity’ increased from 20% in the 51-60 years age group to 87.5% in those aged >70 years. Sixty-nine percent men aged 60-70 years were not sexually active. After the age of 70 years, 86% males were not sexually active. Table 1 summarizes the observations in men.
