“…De esta manera las creencias extendidas que se tienen sobre las personas con discapacidad intelectual tales como su falta de interés afectivo y sexual, han llevado a que se rotulen como seres asexuados, considerados así por su falta de autocontrol en la expresión de sus deseos o necesidades (Rojas, Haya, y Lázaro, 2015). Sin embargo, Caricote (2012) hace énfasis en la necesidad primordial de crear espacios que garanticen una información y educación necesaria y confiable en el ámbito de lo afectivo y de la sexualidad.…”

The purpose of this study was to compare sexually abused children and adolescents, with and without intellectual disabilities (ID), in terms of post-abuse psychiatric disorders, features of the sexual abuse, and sociodemographic characteristics. The study included sexually abused children aged 6-16 years, who were sent to three different child mental health units for forensic evaluation; there were 102 cases (69 girls and 33 boys) with ID and 154 cases (126 girls and 28 boys) without ID. Researchers retrospectively examined the files, social examination reports, and the judicial reports of the cases. It was determined that in the group with ID, sexual abuse types including penetration and contact had higher rates, they were exposed to more frequent repeated abuses, the abuses were revealed with their own reports at a later period and lower rates, and post-abuse pregnancies were more frequent. It was also determined that the abuser was a familiar person and a family member at lower rates and more than one abuser was encountered more frequently, compared to the group without ID. While no difference was determined between the two groups in terms of the frequency of post-abuse post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), conduct disorder (CD) was observed more frequently in the group with ID. This study emphasizes that sexual abuse, which is an important problem in individuals with ID, has different features and effects.

“…This lack of programmes that address the sexual needs of people with moderate ID (Grieve et al 2006;Rojas et al 2015) could also be related to a lack of understanding and recognition of the sexuality of people with moderate ID. It is necessary to understand their sexual and affective needs and their level of knowledge about sexuality in order to adapt sexual education programmes (Bartholomew et al 2011;Finlay et al 2015;Roden et al 2020).…”

BackgroundThis study addresses the sexuality of people with moderate intellectual disabilities (PMID), a topic that has been little studied. Understanding romantic and sexual experiences is highly relevant for reducing stigma and prejudice related to their sexuality. Additionally, comprehending the level of sexual knowledge of PMID contributes to the development of preventive and sexual health education programmes tailored for this group. Our aim is to explore the sexual history (relationships, sexual behaviour, condom use and sexual abuse), sex education received and the level of sexual knowledge of PMID.MethodThe total of 142 PMID completed questionnaires about sexual knowledge and experiences, and their support staff provided additional information. Data were analysed using chi‐square test (χ2) and descriptive statistical analysis.ResultsMasturbation was the most common sexual behaviour (75.7%), especially among men (χ2 = 5.81, P < 0.05). Sexual intercourse was rare, and only 30.5% reported using condoms. Women reported a higher prevalence of self‐reported sexual abuse (27.3% vs. 6% in men). The study also highlighted misconceptions about sexual intercourse risks and contraceptive methods.ConclusionThe results suggest that PMID need sexual education to ensure healthy sexual experiences and prevent risky behaviour.
