Sexual expression is a basic human need, a normal part of life that is integral to who we are as human beings. As we age, we continue to be challenged to grow in every area of our lives, including our sexuality. In institutionalized settings, however, human sexuality can be an area in which growth is not fostered, but restrained. Challenges leading to restraint include limited privacy, concerns about the consent of cognitively impaired sexual partners and conflicts with the personal values of institutional staff. Challenges exist in many areas, including inappropriate sexual expression toward a staff member or other residents.
性表达是人类的一项基本需求，是生活的正常组成部分，对我们作为人类的身份至关重要。随着年龄的增长，我们在生活的各个方面，包括性方面，都不断面临成长的挑战。然而，在机构化环境中，人类的性取向可能是一个得不到促进反而受到限制的领域。导致限制的挑战包括隐私有限、对认知障碍性伴侣同意的担忧以及与机构工作人员个人价值观的冲突。许多领域都存在挑战，包括对工作人员或其他居民的不当性表达。
