Tipos de fantasías sexuales y factores asociados en el personal de salud del Distrito Gualaceo-Chordeleg, 2023

Abstract

Background: sexual fantasies (SF) are spontaneous manifestations, which have not been given the importance they deserve, as they are a stigmatized sexual area with a variety of taboos rooted in society. Objective: determine the types of sexual fantasies and associated factors in health personnel in the Gualaceo – Chordeleg district, 2023. Methods: observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. 210 health professionals from the Gualaceo – Chordeleg Health District participated, who met the inclusion criteria. A form was applied with the validated version of the Wilson Sexual Fantasies Scale (SFQ). The data obtained were analyzed in the SPSS version 15 program. Descriptive statistics and median differences were used using the Mann Whitney U. The information was presented using custom tables. Results: the most frequent exploratory fantasy was having a sexual act with people of a different race with 19.5%; Of the intimate FS, 85.7% specified that the sexual act in a place other than the bedroom was the most common. Regarding interpersonal FS, viewing pornographic images or movies stood out, with 54.8%; Exposing oneself provocatively was the most relevant sadomasochistic fantasy, with 45.7%. A statistical relationship was observed between being a woman and heterosexual, with a low level of FS. Conclusions: various FS were presented, both exploratory, intimate, interpersonal and sadomasochistic. A statistical association was found with the low level of FS and the fact of being a heterosexual woman.
