We conducted 15 interviews and 3 focus groups (total N = 36) among women 60 and older with low libido to better understand the role that it plays in their lives. Interviews and focus groups were led by facilitators using open-ended questions. A codebook was developed, then codes were assigned to all data. We identified three themes. First, women reported that sex was an important aspect of their lives. Second, women desired to know what was "normal" with regards to sexuality and aging. Third, women were distressed by low libido, concerned that it could have negative effects on romantic relationships and self-image.
我们对 60 岁及以上、性欲低下的女性进行了 15 次访谈和 3 次焦点小组（总 N = 36），以更好地了解性欲在她们生活中所扮演的角色。访谈和焦点小组由主持人使用开放式问题进行。制定了一个代码本，然后为所有数据分配了代码。我们确定了三个主题。首先，女性报告说性是她们生活的重要方面。其次，女性希望了解关于性和衰老的“正常”情况。第三，女性对性欲低下感到困扰，担心这会对浪漫关系和自我形象产生负面影响。
