Sexuality in Old Age from Perspective of Seniors and from Perspective of Social Workers
JECHOVÁ, Helena
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find what the seniors and social workers think about the senior sexuality. The present state talks about the necessity of sexual activity in old age, its significance, about changes in this field and how we can satisfy this desire. Individual chapters deal with needs in the old age, the sexual activity of seniors and the possibility of saturation in facilities of social services. In the connection with the aim of the thesis, there were chosen quality research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured questionnaire. The given results were processed into bunches and graphically illustrated through the thought maps. The research sample consisted of 2 sets. The first set contained the group of 8 seniors in the age of 60 and more who use residential services, concretely in the retirement home in Sušice. The second set contained three social workers who work in this concrete retirement home. Both sets were chosen by the method of deliberate choice. The thesis shows that there is a decline in sexual activity with increasing age, but the desire after sexual activity can also edure. The biggest influence has the loss of the absence of the partner. In the terms of sexuality in retirement homes, there is not given much time for working with this phenomenon despite the positive attitude of social workers to this topic which is considered to be a natural part of life. There also appear some problems connected with this topic occasionally. The benefit of this thesis is the examination of opinions which seniors have about their own sexuality which can help the social workers to satisfy their needs

Sexuality in old age
KOSOVÁ, Kateřina
Age and sex are two terms that are not frequently associated with each other. Sexuality is a natural part of human nature, accompanying people throughout their whole lives, still in old age. The elderly are often considered asexual by society, and therefore they feel too shy to speak out about problems they are facing in their sexual lives. In this paper, physiological and psychosocial changes the old age brings about, ailments and sexual dysfunctions that may affect seniors´ sexuality, and myths that make sexuality in old age taboo in society are described. The objective of this thesis was to deal with society´s perception of sexuality in old age. The first sub-objective was to determine how seniors´ sexuality is perceived by students and people at productive age. The second sub-objective was to find out seniors´ attitudes towards sexuality in old age. The survey was conducted using quantitative research, an interrogation method, a semi-directed interviewing technique. The research set was composed of 30 respondents divided into 3 groups. The first group consisted of students, the second was comprised of people in productive age and the third group was formed by seniors. Each group thus included 10 respondents. The research was carried out in the South Bohemian region for four months from mid-January to mid-May 2009. The research results have shown small but very interesting divergences in the approach to sexuality in old age. Seniors accept sexuality in old age better than students and people in productive age. Unlike seniors, a majority of students and people in productive age perceive sexuality in old age as a taboo subject in society. The research has also shown that seniors are satisfied with their sexual lives to the same extent as students are. Generally this issue is perceived in society with some embarrassment, but positively. This thesis could improve society´s awareness of sexuality in old age, break a social taboo and make it easier for seniors to enjoy their intimate lives. Furthermore, the survey could be beneficial for students and related professionals.
