Sexual and Intimacy Issues for Aging Gay Men
Pope, Mark; Wierzalis, Edward A.; Barret, Bob; Rankins, Michael
ADULTSPAN Journal, v6 n2 p68-82 Fall 2007
The authors focus on the special issues involved in providing counseling to aging gay men regarding sex and intimacy. Although the stresses of aging experienced by gay men are similar to those of heterosexual men, older gay men face issues of a stigmatized sexual orientation, invisibility, negative stereotypes, and discrimination regarding aging.
