There is a decline in sexual satisfaction with age but the opposite with sexual function. The youngest presents more sexual difficulties but are more sexual stisfied. The older presents less problems but are more sexual dissatisfied.These data highlight the need to have a comprehensible vision of the sexuality, thinking not only in the sexual functionality but also in all dimensions of Human sexuality.
