Abstract
<titre>AGEING COMFORTABLY AT HOME IN PERIURBAN AREAS : WHEN THE CONVENTIONS REGARDING AGEING INCREASE SEXUAL PRESSURES</titre> This paper looks into the experiences involved in growing old at home in the light of two intersecting variables : “sex” and “territory”. Drawing on interviews with men and women over 75 and their circles, the paper demonstrates that growing old at home can intensify the sexualisation of the ageing experience : by partitioning-off the living conditions and forms of assistance that men and women can benefit from ; and by placing ageing women in the dilemma of remaining sexually active or leaving their partners. It shows, too, that these sexual imbalances can, in some case, be exacerbated by the cultural, demographic, economic and social characteristics of the territories those concerned live in.
