| Annotation | Little research has explored the intersection of ageing and sexuality. This qualitative study is informed by a life course approach and narrative gerontology methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 women age 55 and older in the Seattle area, to explore the effects of gender, ageing and living environment on past and current sexual experiences. Sub-themes from each major theme are discussed, including: messages about and perceived effects of gender; perceived effects of ageing; and perceived effects of living environment. Findings support the use of dynamical systems theory to study women's sexual experiences. (RH). |
