Open interviews were conducted with men and women in public mental health services in Brazil. Transcrips were examined based on the proposal of sexual scripts. Major imbalances coming from conceptions of masculinity and femininity in society were identified in the sexual scripts experienced by these men and wom - en. Interviewees have little pleasure in their sexual lives, with recurrent complaints of sexual abuse, even by steady partners; prejudice; and lack of affection in their relationships. Addi - tionally, they were found to have few self-care skills concerning sexual health, in a context marked by social exclusion. The results showed the need to promote sexual health as a hu - man right, and fight gender stereotypes, which cause so much damage to the sexual health of people with mental disorders. 2015 artículo científico 1984-6487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=293335860004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2933 Sexualidad, Salud y Sociedad - Revista Latinoamericana application/pdf Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Sexualidad, Salud y Sociedad - Revista Latinoamericana (Brasil) Num.19 |
