    DescriptionOne of the common misconceptions about older people and those living with dementia is that they aren’t interested in sex or intimacy. Yet the Older People’s Understandings of Sexuality (OPUS) research group, a collaboration of researchers across universities, has found that sex and intimacy can be vital in maintaining health, well-being and personal identity. This can also form part of a wider conversation about human rights, association and self-expression.
