Sexuality - psychological and social problems of midlife sexuality

psychological and social problems of midlife sexuality Misinformation and misunderstanding about sexuality during the middle years and beyond have victimized older adults.

That research contributes to a more realistic and individualized understanding of sexual physiology and behavior in later life.
