W.B. Yeats. El amor y la sexualidad son áreas de la medicina relativamente inexploradas, en las que pueden primar los mitos y los tabúes por encima de la empatía. Esto aplica para todas las etapas de la vida, principalmente para la vejez. La expresión de la sexualidad en los adultos mayores es ignorada, por no decir que muchas veces es negada, rechazada y entorpecida por la sociedad. Existe un nexo indisoluble entre la historia, la medicina y la literatura, que nos permite analizar los mitos y prejuicios relacionados con la vejez, el sexo y el amor. Por medio de algunos ejemplos literarios hago una reflexión acerca de esta temática, teniendo en cuenta el fenómeno de envejecimiento poblacional mundial. Superar estos prejuicios puede liberar a nuestros adultos mayores del sufrimiento innecesario de no poder amar y no poder ser amados. Como sociedad tenemos el deber de comprender y trabajar para que el amor en la vejez no sea una realidad negada.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity. Love and sexuality are relatively unexplored areas of medicine, where myths and taboos may prevail over empathy. This applies to all stages of life, mainly for old age. The expression of sexuality in older adults is ignored, not to say that it is often denied, rejected and hindered by society. There is an indissoluble nexus between history, medicine and literature, which allows us to analyze the myths and prejudices related to old age, sex and love. Through some literary examples I reflect on this issue, taking into account the phenomenon of world population aging. Overcoming these prejudices can free our older adults from the unnecessary suffering of not being able to love and not being able to be loved. As a society we have the duty to understand and work so that love in old age is not a denied reality.]]></p></abstract>
