The results have shown that elderly adults have a fair attitudes towards aspects and issues about sexuality, predominating erotophofobic attitudes towards homosexuality and unconventional sex; moderate attitudes on the subject of masturbation, and when bathing naked with another person; while erotophilia has been shown in aspects related to pleasure and visual stimuli such as books and movies with sexual content.
