“…In addition, the women may sometimes perceive themselves as being no longer attractive to others [10], their changing bodies being seen as a contrast to beauty and desirability [11]. In many societies, Nigeria inclusive, the expression of sensuality by women over 50 is regarded as either non-existent, unacceptable, or a subject of humour [11,12]. At this stage of life, even women who had been praised as beautiful in their youth suddenly realize that no one is looking at them anymore.…”

Introduction Sensuality, an essential component of sexuality, is the enjoyment, expression, or pursuit of physical and sexual pleasure or satisfaction. Sensuality expression of women over 50 is under-researched and often ignored, making it difficult to have a scientific basis to develop age-appropriate healthy-ageing programmes for this group in Nigeria. An exploratory study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of the expression of sensuality of Nigerian women over 50 and the meaning they attach thereto. Methodology An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis approach was used to collect and analyze data from 17 female teachers from three public secondary schools in Osun state, Nigeria, to represent a homogenous group of professional women over the age of 50. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain qualitative data that was thematically analyzed. Findings Four superordinate themes emerged: ‘Self-reinvention to camouflage ageing realities for sensuality expression’; ‘Embracing own sensuality’; ‘Yearning for old self’; and ‘Loss of interest in romantic relationships’, with various subordinate themes. Conclusion These finding provide the basis to develop age-appropriate healthy-ageing programmes for this group, and a baseline for further sexual health research among this group of women in Nigeria, who are often overlooked or considered asexual due to their being beyond the reproductive age.
