The results of this study leave little doubt that intact sexual function is common among elder people, even among those above 60 years (group II). But definitely there was a declining course of sexual functions including a decrease in sexual desire with increasing age, with a steep course in group II. This finding is similar to that of Pfeiffer et al.[6] Subjects in group I being young, did not expect loss of partner at their age, and so this was the main factor worrying them for their decreasing sexual desires as opposed to those in group II, who did not attribute loss of partner as an important factor in affecting their sexual desires as this was something that was more common in their age group and something which they may have been ready for.
