Abstract
Gerontology, the science that studies aging, has advanced a lot in the last decades on the myth of “asexual ageing”, starting to legitimize the inclusion of sexuality in this phase of people’s lives. However, despite all the efforts of specialists, several social constructions still deprive the elderly of love, sexuality, and pleasure [1]. It is true that over the years some physiological changes occur in everyone’s bodies, such as the reduction of vaginal lubrication in women or the decline in the intensity of orgasm in men. However, some prejudices lead many to believe that these changes are the main causes of dysfunctions in sexuality [2].
