Aging and Human Sexuality
• Females
o Menopause
▪ Ovaries gradually cease functioning
o Decreasing estrogen
▪ HRT
o Hot flashes and other symptoms
o Osteoporosis
• Males
o Gradual decrease of testosterone
o Changes in arousal
▪ Erectile dysfunction
Reproductive Aging in Women
• 9-15- first period- menarche
• 16-30- regular cycle, fertility peaking-

• Early 40s- lengths of cycle vary-
menopausal transition
• Late 40s and early 50s- 2 or more skipped
