Abstract:
Sexuality of the elderly couple - what has changed since the 1970s Abstract. The sexuality of elderly couples has a lot of common with the sexuality of younger ages in the sense, that biological, psychological, relational and social factors are the determinants and conditioning factors of their sexual life (biopsychosocial model of understanding) and that the subjective suffering results from the discrepancy between the sexuality they wish to live and their real life experience. Sexual health care has to take into account the different age and morbidity related factors which means that the aim of counselling and care it frequently not to reestablish the sexuality of younger age but to find new ways of living their sexuality.
