Resumo: Aging implies body changes, in contrast to other elements that do not change over time, such as sexuality. This happens because it is possible to notice two distinct times - chronological and kairological. The body follows the chronological rhythm, and sexuality, considering its broad sense, does not follow a temporal marking. Faced with this paradox, the objective of this study is to understand the duality experienced in old age, in which there is a body that changes through aging, while desire does not. Based on a theoretical study, from a conceptual review, the methodological course took place in the following order: a brief philosophical understanding of time; a description of the aging body; conceptualization of sexuality in old age; and in the last topic, the ideas presented were brought together, reflecting upon the perspective of the different experience of sexuality between genders in old age. The psychoanalysis theory was the reference adopted to support the discussion. As the male and female body changes, many believe that with the recurrence of flaccid erection in men and women who have started menopause, sexuality and desire is doomed to an end. Elderly people no longer have their body socially recognized and are no longer seen as objects of desire. However, being old is to be desiring but society condemns this perspective due to the taboo of sexualizing seniors and, as a result, making them be seen as asexuals. Thus, the elderly end up repressing themselves as manifestations of pleasure for not understanding their role in this stage of life.

Esto sucede porque es posible tomar notas de dos tiempos: cronológico y kairológico*. El cuerpo sigue el ritmo cronológico y la sexualidad, en su sentido amplio, no sigue una marca temporal. Frente a esta paradoja, el objetivo de esta investigación fue comprender la dualidad vivida en la vejez, en la que hay un cuerpo que cambia con el envejecimiento mientras el deseo no cambia. A través de un estudio teórico, basado en una revisión conceptual, el curso metodológico ocurrió en el siguiente orden: una breve comprensión filosófica del tiempo; una descripción del cuerpo al envejecer; conceptualización de la sexualidad en la vejez; y en el último tema, se reunieron las ideas presentadas, considerando las diferencias entre los géneros en la vivencia de la sexualidad en la vejez. La referencia adoptada para apoyar la discusión fue el psicoanálisis. Con los cambios en el cuerpo masculino y femenino, muchos creen que con la erección más flácida en el hombre y con la mujer entrando en la menopausia, la sexualidad y el deseo están condenados a su fin. El anciano, por no tener el cuerpo socialmente reconocido, ya no es visto como objeto de deseo. Sin embargo, ser viejo es ser deseado, pero la sociedad condena esta perspectiva debido al tabú de ser asexual. Así, muchos ancianos terminan reprimiendo las manifestaciones de placer en la vida porque no logran comprender su papel en esta etapa de la vida.Envelhecer implica em alterações no corpo, em contraponto com outros elementos que não se alteram com o tempo, como a sexualidade. Isso acontece pois é possível tomar notas de dois tempos - cronológico e kairológico. O corpo acompanha o ritmo cronológico, e a sexualidade, tomada em seu sentido amplo, não segue uma marcação temporal. Diante deste paradoxo, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi compreender a dualidade vivenciada na velhice, na qual há um corpo que se altera com o envelhecimento, enquanto o desejo não se modifica. A partir de um estudo teórico, baseado em uma revisão conceitual, o percurso metodológico ocorreu na seguinte ordem: uma breve compreensão filosófica sobre o tempo; uma descrição sobre o corpo no envelhecer; conceituação da sexualidade na velhice; e no último tópico, as ideias apresentadas foram aglutinadas, pensando as diferenças entre os gêneros na vivência da sexualidade na velhice. Foi adotado o referencial psicanalítico como base para a discussão. Com as alterações do corpo masculino e feminino, muitos acreditam que com a ereção mais flácida no homem e uma mulher que iniciou a menopausa, a sexualidade e desejo está fadado ao fim. A pessoa idosa por não ter mais o corpo reconhecido socialmente, vai deixando de ser vista como objeto de desejo. Porém, ser velho é ser desejante, mas a sociedade condena essa perspectiva devido ao tabu de serem assexuais. Assim, muitos idosos acabam reprimindo suas manifestações de prazer por não conseguirem compreender qual seu papel nesta etapa da vida.Research, Society and Development2022-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3151910.33448/rsd-v11i9.31519Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 9; e10811931519Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 9; e10811931519Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 9; e108119315192525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/31519/26967Copyright (c) 2022 Fabiane Petean Soares de Lima; Leny Nunes Louzada Dutra ; Lucas Felix Novaes; Isabela Silva Fernandes; Guilherme Carlos Brech; Rodrigo Jorge Salleshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLima, Fabiane Petean Soares de Dutra , Leny Nunes Louzada Novaes, Lucas Felix Fernandes, Isabela Silva Brech, Guilherme Carlos Salles, Rodrigo Jorge 2022-07-21T12:36:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31519Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:47:50.015870Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
