Abstract:
Sexual well-being (SWB) refers to the subjective emotional and cognitive evaluation of the quality of the individuals sexuality. SWB plays a relevant role in quality of life and health promotion on old age and has cross-cultural implications. The aim of this research was to comparatively analyze perspectives on SWB among older adults. Data were collected from community-dwelling participants aged 65 years and older, using a semi-structured interview protocol. Older adults were asked about factors that significantly contribute to their SWB. Eight themes were identified across both studied samples: eroticism, supportive relationship, positive self-concept, health and self-care, romance, active life, tenderness and care, and no pain and no pregnancy restrictions. The findings of this study indicate that SWB is strongly influenced by sociocultural and psychosocial values.
