Abstract

Sexuality is an important factor and a necessity in the life of each person, including older adults, so this research aimed to determine the neurological, physiological and psychosocial factors that influence sexual behavior in older adults. Is important to know how society builds stereotypes, taboos, stigmas and labels around the sexual behavior of the elderly, denying them the possibility of exercising their sexuality without falling into prejudice. And that this discriminated group live their sexuality and enjoy it fully. The study was descriptive-investigative and it was concluded that the neurological, physiological and psychosocial factors that older adults present have an impact on sexual behavior, since they prevent them from having a satisfactory, full and safe sexuality.
