Sexuality is an aspect of human development often ignored at various stages of life, especially late life. With the aging of society, increased longevity, improved health, and rising affluence, the understanding of normal sexual development in aging humans becomes progressively more important. Normal sexuality among those in late life may relate more to societal views based in part on ageist myths and misconceptions and an overemphasis on disease processes. It is important for both health and mental health professionals to educate themselves about the specific challenges and rewards of sexuality in late life. While it was once assumed that sexual function and virility naturally declined with age, the sexual capacities of the aging body have more recently been aligned to new performative standards, particularly for men.

Furthermore, 71 percent of men in this age group are married compared to 43 percent of the women; thus, more women than men in this age group live alone. These changing demographics clearly have implications for the multidimensional concept of sexuality for aging men and women. Sexuality is a lifelong aspect of being human and affects aspects of our personhood. Although there continue to be myths of the "asexuality" of adults and aging, many older adults have continued to be sexually interested, active, and satisfied. It bears repeating that love and sex are not only for the young; but also to individuals in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, sexuality presents a markedly different set of challenges.
