Background Globally 1 in 7 people experience some type of disability. In Latin America, as in other regions, there are programs focused on protecting sexual and reproductive rights. However, in Peru don’t exist programs, protocols, or guidelines that include a specialist (sexologist or trained health professional) in the health system, which allows for improving the quality of life and well-being of this population. Therefore, the study aims to analyze the experience of sexuality of people with motor disabilities to propose actions that contribute to improving their quality of life. Methods The interpretive phenomenological approach and the semi-structured in-depth interview with 60 questions were used, which was applied to 7 people (4 women and 3 men) with acquired motor disability. Results In this study observed diversity in the experience of sexuality. While some people experience it without fear; others have canceled their sexual activity. It could be because, in addition to physical limitations, they experience psychosocial limitations such as pain, functional alterations, depression, low self-esteem, discrimination, exclusion, stigma, socio-environmental barriers, etc. Therefore, the study reflected the double discrimination suffered by women (for being a woman and having a disability) and the absence of sexual education, counseling, or sexual therapy by specialized professionals. Other factors are the influence of religion, society, and culture that might condition and limit their sexuality. This reflects the current situation in Peru and other countries in the region, where the sexuality of persons with disabilities continues to be a complex and ambiguous issue. Conclusions The review of the profile and level of specialization of the health services professionals involved in the integral medical care of people with disabilities and their couples is required because of their need for adequate and specialized attention for their better adaptation to the new condition.
Aunque parezca mentira, aún se sufre en el Perú para investigar y publicar temas controvertidos que quiebren mitos y rompan esquemas tradicionales y obsoletos, concernientes a la sexualidad y al sexo, hoy edulcorados con el término “género”. El título del libro lleva un interrogante que necesita una respuesta. Sí, aún está prohibido hablar y escribir sobre esta materia y, sin duda, son los “memes” biológicos e ideológicos —en especial religiosos— implantados, en el cerebro desde la infancia, los que contaminan la inteligencia; bloqueando el análisis racional, sereno y científico sobre la vida sexual. Los temas descritos en este libro servirán para “prender una chispa y no maldecir la oscuridad”. En diferentes capítulos se analizan “Placer y género”, “Conciencia corporal y zonas erógenas”, “Bioquímica del placer”, “Alternativas para obtener placer”, “Fantasías sexuales”, “Cibersexo”, “Juguetes sexuales”, entre otros del importante contenido de este volumen. Una muy interesante investigación complementa la obra, material original y valioso, por escasear en el ambiente académico, en especial universitario. La población investigada de 1083 tiene una muestra de 275 estudiantes provenientes de 30 Escuelas Académico Profesionales de la Universidad Nacional Jorge Basadre Grohmann de la ciudad de Tacna.
El libro busca responder a necesidades, intereses, inquietudes, dudas, curiosidades y preocupaciones de los y las estudiantes de nivel secundario de Educación Básica Regular, tras utilizar la estrategia de “pase y recogida de preguntas anónimas” que fueron formuladas durante los talleres del curso de Educación sexual; los cuales se desarrollaron como parte de nuestras actividades de extensión y proyección social universitaria, y que asumí en mi condición de docente responsable de los cursos Sexualidad humana y Educación sexual, dentro del plan de estudios del Currículo de formación de pregrado en la carrera profesional de Obstetricia
