Objective: to analyze the sexual behavior of the elderly women treated at the gynecological outpatient clinic over a period of one year, estimating the proportion of sexually active women, those with an interest in sex, and those who considered the activity of sex important for quality of life, among other findings. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study was performed. A pilot study was carried out in order to adjust and validate the data collection instrument. A convenience sample of 100 women was considered for the evaluation of socio-demographic characteristics and sexual behavior, including questions relating to sexual practice and interfering factors. The data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages, and the associations were verified by Pearson's Chi-squared test, considering a significance of 5%. Results: it was observed that 60.0% of the elderly women felt sexual desire, although 26.0% were sexually active. While 75.5% reported that aging does not improve the quality of sex, 83.0% believed that it is important for quality of life and 78.0% affirmed that there is no age limit for sexual activity. The cultural view of the elderly may interfere with the maintenance of a sexual life, since 51.0% reported feeling sexual prejudice due to their age. Conclusion: sexuality is directly related to the perception of quality of life and as it is a vital human function, can interfere in the social, professional, physical and psychic performance of the individual. The practice of and the desire for sex are not extinguished with aging, which contradicts the myth that the elderly person is an asexual being.Analysis of the sexual behavior of elderly women 725

“…[6][7][8] It is understood that sexuality represents a fundamental action in the life of the individual, consisting of biological, psychological, social and cultural factors, transmitted from generation to generation, giving meaning to human existence. 9 It can be seen that the concept of sexuality has progressed and is understood as an aggregation of symbolic and physical feelings, manifested through intimacy, reproduction, respect, self-realization, self-esteem, acceptance, affection, pleasure, among others. [10][11] It should be considered that, nowadays, sexuality is still understood as the sexual practice aimed exclusively at young people, without considering its consequences, such as understanding, companionship and affection, which are fundamental at any moment of life.…”
