Abstract

This study explores the gender differences of sexual functioning, anxiety and mindfulness in lesbians and gay men over 50. In gay men, positive mindfulness moderates the negative relationship between anxiety and sexual functioning. However, among aging lesbians, no interaction exists; further, mindfulness is negatively related to sexual functioning.
