“…There is extensive scientific literature that demonstrates the universal and cross-cultural characteristic of what is now known as romantic love (Bode & Kushnick, 2021;Fletcher et al, 2015;Hatfield et al, 2012). This is confirmed by many scientific articles that show evidence of its existence in different epochs and cultures: the Tang Dynasty in China, from 618 to 907 (Daniel, 2009); the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, which lasted approximately from 1392 to 1897 (Seongsook, 2022); the Middle Ages, dating approximately from the 5th century to the Renaissance (Burge, 2018); the Romantic period, from around the late 18th and early 19th centuries (Barclay, 2020;Botting, 2019); among black enslaved communities in Southern USA during the 19th century (Reader, 2023); or in Central America throughout the 21st century (Martínez-Alpízar, 2022).…”

The scientific literature has already demonstrated the benefits of romantic love as a key protective factor in the prevention of violence. Some recent publications affirm that romantic love is a powerful cause of gender violence following two steps. First, they attribute a list of causes of violence to romantic love calling them “the myths of romantic love”, including lack of freedom and the normalization of coercion. Nonetheless, research has not explored in depth yet whether what they call “romantic love myths” are consubstantial characteristics of romantic love or not. To that end, this study conducts a historical literature review of scientific articles, books, literary and musical works from diverse cultures and periods. Findings show those myths are not characteristics of romantic love; on the contrary, the literature reviewed shows six main characteristics of romantic love that demonstrate it is the opposite of those myths, as it has freed women from feudal and other subjugations throughout history.

“…Los jóvenes cada vez más afrontan la reducción de los ideales de atractivo sexual forzando una elección entre la obscenidad y el romance (Burge, 2018). La sexualización ha sido identificada más recientemente por generar estereotipos que discriminan al sector infanto-juvenil de la población en la sociedad (Espinar, 2006;Stone et al, 2015), inducen a la autocosificación (Karsay y Matthes, 2016;Ruckel y Hill, 2016;Trekels et al, 2018) y a enfermedades de transmisión sexual o embarazos no deseados (Mascheroni et al, 2015;Daniels y Zurbriggen, 2016;Pacilli et al, 2016;Leigh y Shaughness, 2017).…”

Introducción. Las preadolescentes siguen patrones de las influencers para su entretenimiento, y pueden imitar la exhibición pública de contenido personal como forma de venta en su proceso de socialización. Objetivo. Este artículo analiza las percepciones y actitudes de la sociedad española sobre las representaciones de las menores en las comunicaciones comerciales. Metodología. Se ha realizado una encuesta telefónica a 346 hogares en toda España entre 18 y 65 años. Resultados. en 8 de cada 10 hogares se percibe que las preadolescentes sobreexponen fácilmente su imagen (78,7%), dan mayor valor a su aspecto físico que a otros aspectos (78,8%) y asumen patrones adultos de comportamiento (77,7%). Respecto a su representación en comunicaciones comerciales, se piensa que la publicidad muestra una imagen de ellas mucho mayores de lo que son (86,4%), idealizada (84,8%) e hipersexualizada con el objetivo de vender más (83,1%), y que los estilismos no son acordes con la edad de las preadolescentes (73,7%). Conclusiones. La percepción global de las preadolescentes en la sociedad española es de una aceptación generalizada de imagen irreal, idealizada y de mayor edad que las hace vulnerables. Recomendaciones. Por su uso elevado, frecuente y exclusivo de los medios digitales es necesario que los preadolescentes desarrollen competencias que les den acceso a un capital cultural más relevante. La alfabetización digital puede ser un factor de inclusión social al desarrollar valores que fomenten su integración como sujetos críticos y activos.

“…Critical analysis of the terms "lesbian", "gay", "bisexual", "shemale", "queer", etc., is gaining significant scientific popularity, during which the authors insist on the international support for the rights of non-heterosexual and gender-diverse people (Monro, 2020). Some radical researchers in contemporary social reality generally see the foundations of the "crisis of sexuality", which results are in the narrowing of the ideals of sexual attraction, deviation from exalted romantic love and its replacement by indecency, vulgarity and shamelessness in gender relations (Burge, 2018).…”

The study analyzed the nature and essence of sexuality as a guarantee of relations between people, providing for the consistent solution of the following tasks: a) to show that it is in the context of this phenomenon that one should look for the focus of a person’s self, its uniqueness; b) determine that the realization of sexuality causes actualization of self-attitude, the result of which is the significant psychophysiological and philosophical changes in the personality. The realization of sexuality at the first stage of the awareness of the inseparability of love causes oppression of individuality, dissolution of consciousness, a complete subordination of the subject to his feeling and involves a study of the type of “bodily disease”, which progresses and requires treatment. However, the desire for survival introduces the process of “self-medication”, when the subject of unrequited love, under the influence of “self-care”, namely about his own body, revives his individuality, but at a higher level.
