Sexual problems associated with dementia fall into four groups: problems involving an established partner, problems involving a new partner, problems occurring independent of a sexual partner (sexual acting out, inappropriate sexual talk, false sexual allegations) and sexual abuse. The whole area has received little attention despite the major consequences for patients, partners and carers.
