From the Paper:

"Sexuality is a key part of human existence. However, when most people think of sexuality, they tend to ignore the fact that as one ages, there can be many issues surrounding the psychological, as well as physical aspects of sexual performance and experience. Unfortunately, is it common for lay people and physicians to gloss over or ignore the issues surrounding sexuality in the older population, yet it is a very important aspect of life. Although more research is being conducted into sexual dysfunction in advancing age populations, especially as the "Baby Boom" generation enters its twilight years, there is significantly more research as well as general attention that must be devoted to the issue."
