Abstract

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to investigate how elders in rural communities maintain their sexual life.

Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 participants who were 65 years old or older, and either were married couples or were continuing the sexual relationship though widowed. Data were analyzed based on Strauss and Corbin’s (1990) Grounded Theory Methodology.

Results: The core category of experiences of the elderly’s sexual life was identified with "changeable sexual life at husband’s mercy". This process could be divided into 3 stages, which were the stage of recognition of sex difference and obstacle in sexual life, the stage of observation of partner’s attitude and the stage of husband’s lead in sexual life.

Conclusions: This study found that sexuality was an important aspect for the elderly although their sexual interests and activities declined along with aging. In addition, the husband’s sexual and economic capabilities and sexual difference were very important factors in the elderly’s sexual life. It is suggested to consider sexuality as a normal
aspect of life for the elderly when nurses plan for their care.
