- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the perception of the experience of sexualities in the aging process of the LGBTQIAP+ elderly population on the big island of São Luís - MA. Method: empirical and qualitative with a convenience sample. Results: participants are between 60 and 65 years old; seven declared themselves cisgender and one non-binary, all single homosexuals. The perception of experiencing sexualities is presented subjectively and is shown through the construction of identity, self-knowledge and maturity, as well as the characteristics of the aging process, sexual behavior and prejudices and stigmas. Conclusion: Sexuality develops from the construction of the subjects' identity and self-knowledge. It is influenced by the social context family dynamics and other aspects that permeate the process of human subjectivity. It was observed that it is possible to establish positive experiences in aging, experiences that contradict the stigmas and prejudices that the elderly are inserted.
