The way in which elderly people think about and experience sexuality is still very poorly documented, especially in terms of elderly people in nursing homes. Few empirical studies place the voices and perceptions of elderly people at the heart of their research design. This article, based on a qualitative survey of residents in long-term care facilities in French-speaking Switzerland, examines these needs or desires, as well as the effect of institutionalization on the expression of this emotional and sexual life.
