Abstract
Objectives: Investigate publications about sexuality of adolescents with disabilities considering all types disabilities and their interrelationships and discuss the difficulty in approaching the issue. Methods: This is a qualitative bibliographical review in which the data collection took place between January and March 2018, with the consultation of articles indexed in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) published in periodicals from 2003 to 2018. Results: The perpetuation of conservative concepts and practices involving the subject was observed, with emphasis on sexually transmitted infections or biomedical issues, with a reduced approach to sociocultural issues. Within this sociocultural theme, 13 articles were selected in which the conflict of the subject emerges as a highlight for parents, who in general tend to overprotect children with disabilities; the family and social values that tend to deny the sexuality between adolescents and the sexuality of the adolescent with disability, still stigmatized as absent or abnormal, and with this goes to the negation which potentiates and makes difficult to approach the subject. Conclusions: Achieving the sexuality of adolescents with disabilities needs a rupture of conservative and stigmatized concepts. From the point of view of health, as long as it is treated with respect, it can provide a better care by overcoming suppressive models, allowing a look at the insertion of this adolescent in this world of discoveries and overcoming the subjectivity of the practices observed in the personal relationships. It is necessary to think of mechanisms that minimize the existing barriers to the full development of these individuals.
