Dans cet article, nous présentons les résultats d’une étude qualitative réalisée auprès de 17 HACI, portant …
L’influence des normes corporelles sur les relations intimes des femmes âgées hétérosexuelles et lesbiennes: Au-delà de l’objectification
Les critères de beauté âgistes et sexistes qui règnent dans les sociétés occidentales peuvent influer négativement sur les femmes âgées, mais leurs effets sur la vie intime restent inexplorés. À partir d’entrevues individuelles avec 25 femmes âgées de 64 à 82 ans, hétérosexuelles et lesbiennes, les auteures explorent l’emprise des normes corporelles dans la sphère intime et sexuelle. Alors que les recherches féministes analysent souvent la pressi…

Between Exploration, Pleasure, and Performance: Sexual Enhancement Medication Use among Older Gay and Heterosexual Men
Pharmaceutical marketing campaigns and biomedical discourses tend to oppose two types of sexual enhancement medication (SEM) use. While "therapeutic" use is associated with older heterosexual men in committed relationships, "recreational" use is associated with young gay men, and with the context of casual sex. However, little is known about the real objectives of older men (especially older gay men) who use SEM or the contexts in which they use …

The Impact of Caregiving: Older Women’s Experiences of Sexuality and Intimacy
Using an adapted phenomenological approach, the current study explores older women’s stories about the ways in which providing care to their spouse or partner has affected their sexual and intimate lives. Findings suggest that older women’s sexual identities and experiences of sexuality are marked by both ageist constructions of “older woman as asexual” and loss of self associated with taking on the role of caregiver. Findings also suggest that w…
Ageing with HIV/Aids: A scoping study among people aged 50 and over living in Quebec
The population of people aged 50 and over represents a significant proportion of people living with HIV in Western nations. While the number of older people living with HIV is rapidly increasing in Canada, research originating in this country remains relatively scarce. This article therefore proposes to describe the impact of the intersection of HIV and ageing on the identities and lived experiences of people living with HIV of 50 and over (PLHIV…
