We collected data through face to face interview after obtaining the consents of 13 male elderly over 65 years old who reside in Kimhae Gyeongnam and Busan. The result of study showed that the sexual recognition of male elderly participants include the core concept of , , < the sex with restriction> and . In other words, the male elderly recognized the sexual life of old age as a natural and instinctive thing, the restrictions still exist including the negative recognition of family and surrounding people and diseases but it is found that the improvement of social recognition about sexual desire, the sex education and aggressive support for the various solutions are required. As the sexual awareness of the elderly is the comprehensive and broad study, the amalgamative and integrated study should be continued in the various fields. Through this, we tried to suggest the basic documents to the effective and differentiated individual sex consultation based on the empirical characteristics and desire of male elderly, and customized sex education and the development of local society program.

본 연구의 목적은 남성노인의 노년기 성생활에 대한 전반적인 인식을 알아보는 것에 그 목적이 있다. 부산과 경남 김해시에 거주하는 65세 이상 남성노인 13명의 동의를 얻어 일대일 면접방식을 통하여 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 연구 참여자인 남성노인의 성인식은 <자연스럽고 본능적인 성>, <여전히 존재하는 성>, <제약이 있는 성>, <지원이 필요한 성>의 4가지 핵심개념으로 나타났다. 즉, 남성노인은 노년기의 성생활에 대하여 본능적이고 자연스러운 것으로 인식하였으며, 주변과 가족의 부정적 인식과 질병 등의 제약이 존재하나, 여전히 존재하는 성 욕구에 대한 사회적 인식개선과 성교육 및 다양한 해소방안을 위한 적극적인 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 노인의 성의식은 포괄적이고 광범위한 연구이므로, 다양한 분야에서 융복합적인 연구가 지속적으로 진행되어야 한다. 이를 통하여 남성노인의 경험적 특성과 욕구에 기반한 효과적이고 차별화된 개별 성상담 및 맞춤형 성교육과 지역사회 프로그램개발에 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다.
