Existing studies on sexual behavior of the aged show earnest deficiencies: false sampling, insufficient interviewing instruments and little interest in theory development. As a consequence all results must be taken as preliminary: most elderly reduce their sexual activities and change from genital to tenderness behavior. Men and women experience sexuality differently. Those who live in institutions report of few sexual interest and complain of lacking privacy. Several theories are applied to sexual behavior of the aged: disuse, exchange, role, communication theories and the concept of developmental tasks. Some consequences for research, for the elderly, for the social environment, for sex education and for institutions are discussed.
抽样不当、访谈工具不足以及对理论发展兴趣寥寥。因此，所有结果都只能视为初步结果：大多数老年人减少了性活动，从生殖器性行为转变为柔情蜜意的行为。男性和女性对性的体验有所不同。住在养老院的人表示性兴趣寥寥，并抱怨缺乏隐私。有几种理论被应用于老年人的性行为：不用则废理论、交换理论、角色理论、沟通理论以及发展任务的概念。文中还讨论了这些理论对研究、老年人、社会环境、性教育以及养老院的一些影响。
