[en] The higher life expectancy of the global population and more years lived in better health, confront us to matters that have to be addressed, such as sexual needs in older age. The French translation of Aging Sexual Knowledge Attitudes Scale (ASKAS) was tested on 492 people, aged 18-97. Results show more permissive attitudes among sexually active participants and higher knowledge in the oldest group. More awareness is needed to get better aging sexual knowledge and fight ageist stereotypes.
