@mikaylar, a person with dementia may experience changes in how they respond to sex, be inappropriate or aggressive, mistake a person for someone else, or behave sexually in public. It is a behavior noted in women as well as men.

I found this helpful article from the Alzheimer's Society UK.

Challenging sexual behavior can be expressed in different ways. Are you caring for someone who is displaying new or challenging sexual behaviors?
