sexual citizenship and rights.
There are diverse sexualities, sexual behaviors, and preferences among late-life couples.
They need love, partnership and physical intimacy. Sex is like love, and important component of a close emotional relationship.
Some older people lose interest in sexual activity, particularly when they lose a partner or spouse through death, divorce, or separation.
Jane Loehr and Sandra Leiblum argue that lack of sex among the elderly is often not because of lack of desire, but because of lack of opportunity.
Thus in old age there are many possibilities, ranging from widowhood, marriage, remarriage, singleness, divorce, cohabitation, dating, companionship, intimacy, and the concept of living together.
The sexual innocent of children is an almost universal premise.
Sexuality is constructed as a domain exclusive to adults, and with preconditions of physical and social maturity.

The wall of silence was a common reaction to these early attempts to foster a culture of self-help as a response to the AIDS epidemic in Africa.
role plays, self-esteem exercises and the panoply of confessional technologies that trained people with HIV to live positively.
As the full social and demographic consequences of the relentless global AIDS epidemic become clearer, in calls for an increase in access to treatment for this disease in poor countries have been made by coalition of AIDS activist groups.
This coalition has configured a therapeutic economy that conjugates confessional technologies, self-help strategies, and access to drugs in novel ways.
A first generation of programs was focused on raising awareness through large-scale information, education, and communication programs assuming this would lead to an increase in safer sex.
Followed by the adoption of social marketing campaigns, that sought to generate demand for as well as supply what is deemed to be the key preventive intervention.
A second generation of programs stressed the direct involvement of affected communities in the response to the epidemic, largely through the idioms of self help, and empowerment.
This allowed people living with AIDS and HIV to take on leadership roles within organizations active in response to the epidemic.
Confessional technologies were initially used to attempt to elicit narratives of distress as a means of fostering mutual support.
The narratives were used tactically- either to improve one's own chances of obtaining treatment or to select those who could best benefit from obtaining medications.
The AIDS industry's efforts had neglected medical treatment for people with HIV, preferring to concentrate on prevention.
The program quickly become embroiled in controversy.
Hundreds of people were treated through the programs although subsidies were insufficient to allow them to keep paying for the drugs for more than a few months.
Confessional technologies, therapeutic and biological strategies are, as we have seen most legible in the local frame of every day life.
The first clinical trial was conducted at the institute 2000, twenty patients were enrolled into a study where they all received triple therapy for HIV.
The patients were representatives of the institutes patients, a few had good jobs, but the majority were poor.
Transnational socioeconomic inequalities and gradients of disease and inequality in access to health care that are associated with them, may unwittingly produce ideal conditions for the conduct of clinical research.
