Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como objetivo central percecionar de que forma os homens e as mulheres,
em idades avançadas vivenciam e vivenciaram a sua sexualidade, assim como analisar a perceção
e a importância que os mesmos atribuem. Esta investigação baseou-se num estudo de caso
utilizando a técnica da análise documental, a observação participante e a aplicação de entrevistas
semiestruturadas a 8 idosos de ambos os sexos do centro de dia “Cantinho do Idoso” 5 fem. 3 masc.
Nesta amostra foram considerados os idosos que tinham idade igual ou superior a 70 anos, que
não representassem défice cognitivo, que permanecessem no Centro de Dia há pelo menos 6
meses e que consentissem e demonstrassem disponibilidade para participar no estudo em
referência. Conclui-se que os idosos/as expressam e vivem a sua sexualidade de forma diferencial,
justificando-se ao nível do género e existência de companheiro/a. Em idades avançadas constatase
uma sexualidade que transcende a relação sexual observando-se o predomínio da relação
afetiva confirmando dados de outros autores em discussão no seio das ciências humanas.
The main objective of the present study is to understand how men and women in advanced ages lived and experienced their sexuality, as well as to analyze the perception and importance they attribute to them. This research was based on a case study using the documental analysis technique, participant observation and the application of semi-structured interviews to 8 elderly of both sexes of the day center "Cantinho do Idoso" 5 fem. 3 men. In this sample, the elderly were considered to be at least 70 years of age and did not represent a cognitive deficit, who remained at the Day Center for at least 6 months and who consented and showed their willingness to participate in the study. It is concluded that some elderly people express and live their sexuality in a different way, justifying themselves at the gender level. In advanced ages it is verified that sexuality for the elderly transcends the sexual relation, observing the predominance of the affective relation, confirming data of other authors under discussion in the human sciences.
