Sexual activity and habits in the aged are analyzed on the basis of the pertinent literature and also personal observations on 85 subjects (53 males and 32 females) whose ages ranged from 62 to 81 years. The importance of diseases and of environmental, social and psychologic factors is discussed in connection with the impairment of sexual activity in old people. Sexual activity in the aged is not exceptional and may give serenity to aging. Medical, social and psychologic prophylactic counselling should be applied as early as possible by geriatricians in collaboration with sexologists.
