Explain how emotional and psychological effects can impair sexuality in older people. Give at least one example.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Students may discuss, for example, the cohort effect (older
people grew up in a time when sexuality was not expected in old age), lack of a partner,
or agism. An example might be an elderly person who is widowed, who still feels sexual
desire, but who believes that sex should occur only in marriage.
