Course Introduction

This clinically-oriented presentation will explore what facilitates and what subverts couple sexuality from 60-85. The psycho-biosocial model of assessment and treatment illustrates sexuality and aging as multi-causal and multi-dimensional with large individual, couple, cultural, and value differences.

Two major constructs are central in maintaining desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction for aging couples. First, confront the traditional double standard model and replace it with the female-male equity model. Second, replace the individual performance model with the couple Good Enough Sex (GES) model focused on sharing pleasure. Partners learn to value both intimacy and eroticism and both synchronous and asynchronous scenarios. Sexuality is defined as involving sensual, playful, and erotic scenarios in addition to intercourse. Couple sexuality with aging illustrates the multiple roles, meanings, and outcomes of sexuality.

Learning objectives:
  • Identify psychological, bio-medical, and social/relational factors which promote and which subvert sexuality with aging.
  • Confront the traditional double standard and pass-fail performance models and replace those with female-male sexual equity and Good Enough Sex.
