Sexual activity with one’s partner is an important component of well-being and is linked to physical, emotional, and cognitive health. However, it is unclear why some older adults are more interested in sex and some less so. Their own characteristics, those of their partner, and characteristics of the relationship may all be important. We define sexual interest as consisting both of the motivation to seek sex with a partner and willingness to have sex when asked. We measure this construct using data from both members of 953 couples in the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. We focus in this article on the impact of psychological and social factors on older adults’ interest in sex, as well as the impact of their partners’ characteristics on their own interest in sex. We find that individuals with high perceived positive marital quality, a more positive and open personality, a large network of family, and better physical health showed greater interest in sex. Characteristics of their partner generally had little association with sexual interest.

The climacteric can present hormonal, physiological and metabolic variation, along with psychosocial changes, that have repercussions on life and sexual interest. The objective was to assess and classify the sexual function of women in menopause. It was recruited 84 women for the research, of which 57 come within inclusion criteria: experiencing menopause (cessation of menstrual cycles for at least 12months) and having had an active sexual life in the last six months. The Female Sexual Quotient (FSQ) domains were evaluated: desire and sexual interest,foreplay,arousing of the woman and sexual interaction with partner,comfort in sexual intercourse,orgasm and sexual satisfaction. The total score for FSQ determined the performance/sexual satisfaction pattern and, of the 57 women, the major proportionwas from regular to good (43.86%), while null to bad (7.01%) had lowest proportion. The total FSQ score, it was possible to verify that 71.93% of the participants presented an adequate score, having scored ≥62 points. It was concluded that the evaluated women presented adequate and satisfactory sexual function.
