We use sexual scripting theory in the present paper to gain a better
understanding of older men's perceptions of their sexuality in relation to
dominant Tanzanian cultural norms of masculinity. Qualitative in-depth interviews
were conducted with 15 older men, and ten focus group discussions were conducted
with 60 men aged 60-82. Participants' recruitment was guided by theoretical
sampling strategies. Consistent with the principles of grounded theory, data
collection and analysis occurred simultaneously. Our findings indicate that Jando
(male initiation rites) serves as a script for male sexuality that outlines the
expectations and rewards of male sexuality. Adhering to masculine sexual script
affects older men's perceptions of their sexuality in later life and has
detrimental effects on their well-being. Older men were concerned with changes in
their sexual life, such as the decline in their sexual performance. The majority
of the participants said they felt emotionally distressed about the age-related
decline in their body and in their sexuality, and they reported that their
inability to conform to male sexual scripts undermined their sense of
masculinity. Several of the participants reported that in an effort to regain
their previous sexual performance, they had turned to remedies and strategies of
questionable appropriateness and effectiveness. Our study suggests that older men
may benefit from age-related interventions tailored to their cultural background.
These interventions may require trained health care providers on mental health
issues to bridge the gap between the internalized scripts of ideal male sexuality
and the reality of aging.
