“…As hypothesized, all the variables were positively associated with sexual satisfaction, except for number of sexual costs, whose association was negative. These associations are consistent with previous research focused on same-sex attracted individuals [9,16,32,78].…”

“…These six items use nine-point scales; item 1 focuses on the general degree of sexual reward (REW), with anchors from Not at all rewarding (1) to Extremely rewarding (9). Item 2 evaluates the actual level of sexual rewards in comparison with the expected level thereof (CL REW ) with anchors from Much less rewarding in comparison (1) to Much more rewarding in comparison (9). Item 3 evaluates the perceived level of reward in comparison to one's couple's perceived level of reward (EQ REW ) with anchors from My rewards are much higher (1) to My partner's rewards are much higher (9).…”

This study aimed to develop an explanatory model of sexual satisfaction in same-sex attracted individuals with a partner, based on personal and interpersonal variables. The participants were 410 men (mean age = 29.24, SD = 9.84) and 410 women (mean age = 29, SD = 8.57) who maintained a relationship with another person of the same sex. Internalized homophobia was considered as a personal variable, and as interpersonal variables, the dimensions of attachment (anxiety and avoidance), sexual functioning, dyadic adjustment, relationship satisfaction, the components of the Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction, the number of sexual costs and the number of sexual rewards were considered. The degree to which sexual satisfaction was related to these variables was examined separately, for both men and women, through multiple linear regression models within the framework of structural equation models. The results indicated that sexual satisfaction is associated in a negative sense with internalized homophobia, the number of sexual costs, anxiety, and avoidance, and in a positive sense with the remaining variables. Relational variables were more relevant in the explanation of sexual satisfaction. The clinical implications are discussed.

“…There is a lack of evidence of experiences of sexuality in the older LGBTQ population. A survey of 265 adults (aged 60-75) in same-sex relationships reported high levels of satisfaction with their relationship that were directly correlated with increased sexual satisfaction (Fleishman 2019). It is also important to acknowledge that not all older people feel comfortable disclosing their sexual orientation.…”

SUMMARYThis article considers sexuality in older adults and the associated stereotypes and stigmas that lead to this area being underappreciated. Normal physiological changes in ageing are discussed and how they can cause sexual dysfunction. The elderly population has a higher burden of comorbid physical illness and this review considers evidence on the interplay between physical health and sexual health. Mental illness is also strongly linked with sexual functioning and is discussed, as is the evidence on psychotropics and sexual side-effects. Attitudes on sexuality in long-term care settings are highlighted and approaches to managing sexual disinhibition are included.
