DE AZEVEDO E SOUZA, Leo S. e BOECKEL, Mariana G.. Sexual-Self of Young Brazilian Adults. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.1, pp.66-84. Epub 04-Fev-2021. ISSN 1794-4724. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.7523.
Sexual subjectivity (translated as sexual-self once studied in Brazil) is a self-perceptive multi-layered construct, which includes sexual efficacy, sexual body-esteem, entitlement to sexual pleasure from self and partner, and sexual self-reflection. This study investigated the sexual subjectivity of young Brazilian adults, evaluated the correlation between sexual subjectivity and quality of life, and also the impact of religiosity on sexual subjectivity. Participants were 1380 from ages 18 to 30 who completed a free online survey, including the Inventário de Self-Sexual (ISS). The design was quantitative, descriptive, and transversal. All of the ISS's subscales had a positive correlation with the satisfaction with life and self-esteem scales. Some sexual subjectivity subscales showed a negative correlation with religiosity, while sexual body-esteem presented a positive one. The women in the sample scored significantly higher on the entitlement to sexual pleasure from self and partner subscales. Bisexual women stood out with higher scores than the heterosexual men and women, despite having lower self-esteem. Future research with more variables and a broader sample will help further the understanding of this barely explored construct.
