How can SASH support you?
Sexual health affects us all regardless of age, including people aged 50 and older, no matter if someone is sexually active or not. SASH is here for you without judgement, to listen and talk through the support you might need as an older person.
What sexual health support can SASH offer to older adults?
We understand that with any age that you might not be having or be interested in sex, and this period might be short lived or last longer than expected. Older adults continue to have sexual experiences, desires and needs, some which may differ from younger people, and therefore still require sexual health support. Sex and relationships might have also changed for you as you've aged.
We can support you in navigating:
- Separation or bereavement
- Entering the dating scene
- Navigating casual hook-ups vs emotional intimacy
- Sexual health taboos
- Accessibility to contraception and STI testing
- Accessibility to PrEP or PEP
- Changes to body image and physical health, including reduced libido or menopause
- Exploring your sexual pleasure and enjoyment
- Processing experiences of sexual assault or abusive relationships
- Finding your place in the LGBTQIAP+ community
- Working around caring responsibilities for children, grandchildren or other relatives
Speak to SASH if you are experiencing issues with your sexual health as an older adult and need support with your wellbeing.
