@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.
- Dementia and challenging sexual behaviour https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/daily-living/challenging-sexual-behaviour-dementia

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