The Highlands - The theme of sexuality in old age was exposed this week by a psychologist and sexologist Dr. Quevedo Zhélide to an audience of more than 100 seniors who were hungry for knowledge. The guest gave a lecture on "Aging, rights and sexuality among the elderly."

The initiative, a partnership of the Municipal Development and Volunteer Partners, aimed to bring the issue to debate, clarify doubts and demystifying sex as taboo in the third age. The speaker began his explanation by talking about the importance of the elderly to recognize with full awareness and development, and always be able to absorb information. "We are fully able to continue learning and improving our quality of life, yes. We can not forget this, "he emphasized Zhélide. "We have to rescue the touch, affection, and realize the power that these small gestures can represent in our day-to-day." Continued the doctor. The retired Vernon Moura, 61, a member of Group Living Living, the Department of Social Development, and Active Life Group, sees this activity as a chance to more than knowledge. "In dealing with an issue like sexuality is still taboo and generates a lot of prejudice, the more information we have, the better. Learning for someone 60 years is eternal. Learn forever, "says Moura. For the municipal secretary for Social Development, Magdalena Peixoto Paulino, the activity was more action in order to contribute to a better quality of life for seniors. "We brought an expert to address a topic needed, and this is more of an action that meets the public policy that the city government has been providing comprehensive care for the elderly," he said.
