As we age, our reproductive years may come to an end but that does not mean our sexual lives stop. Enjoying intimacy and sexual relationships into the golden years is a reality for many mature adults. Family and professionals who are knowledgeable about sexuality and aging can help encourage and support our aging population to take advantage of their golden years by giving them resources and tools that keep them active and informed. We will learn the impact of aging on the physiology of sexual functioning and address the many myths that surround sexuality and aging.
