The hypothesis that dysfunctioning or decrease in sexuality among the aged might be related to increased suicide is discussed in relation to Farber's theory of suicide. Recommendations include: (1) Communicating to the aged person that he is an attractive human being able to generate affectional relationships in others; (2) the therapeutic uses of play, recreation, and sport as a method of improving physical fitness, social interaction, and body image; (3) encouragement of all degrees of human relationships among the aged, between the aged and other groups, and between the aged and pets of one type or another; (4) the need for the hypothesis to be tested; (5) the need for hospital staff and administrators, and medical and nursing schools to recognize the therapeutic aspects of a healthy and functioning sexuality; and (6) consideration of the status of sexual functioning as part of any medical workup. Sexual therapy, when appropriate and desirable, should be part of the total therapeutic approach. Where indicated clinical prostitution, concubinage, and pornography were suggested as having value when utilized as part of the total rehabilitative, therapeutic program
