SUMMARY

Human aging is a subject that has become present in many scientific areas nowadays. In psychology, it hasn’t been different. In this way, it was realized a qualitative research, inside one asylum in Passo Fundo, in Rio Grande do Sul, in 2011, looking for data’s about the social representation of sexuality, which was used a semi-structured interview with the elderly and with the place workers. Also, it was done a succinct literature review, presenting the participant  population  and the research place. This subject doesn’t matter only to academics, as well as society and especially the state, because the aging population is a reality in Brazil and in the world.
