- Abstract
Objective: To identify stereotypes about sexuality of the elderly woman. Method: The study design is transverse and descriptive; the questionnaire Imaginaries of the aging woman was applied (Rubio, Marin, of the source, purse-seine, & Prada, 2011) to 492 people aged 20 to 94 of Andalusia (Spain) and Bucaramanga (Colombia). Analyzed data for item 3 ("older women have less interest in sex"). Results: in the Spanish sampling we found that while 53% agreed, 27% do not agree, and 20% do not know. In the Colombian sample, 47% agrees 30% do not agree, and 23% don't know. Conclusions: In both populations the stereotype of older women being less interested in sex is mainly manifested, which suggests the need for implementation of educational programs on senior's sexuality.
