The need for love and sexual intimacy does not decrease with age. Nevertheless, with ageing, the body undergoes certain changes that may have significant effects on sexual health.
THE World Health Organization (WHO) has defined sexual health as the state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
