Perceptions and attitudes toward sexuality of the elderly during the Middle Ages

HC Covey

Major historical themes from the European Middle Ages regarding the sexuality of the elderly were identified in literature, art, and historical works. It is proposed that thoughts on the ages of life excluded the elderly from having normal sex lives. Also proposed is that the church of the Middle Ages defined sexual behavior by the elderly as immoral.
