Sexual education and visual deficicency: The speech of silence by the silence of speech

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze and understand the sexual orientation given by mothers to sons and daughters with visual deficiencies. From a phenomenological perspective the narratives of twenty mothers of visual defficients are analyzed. The convergences of these conversations make clear that disinformation about sexuality in general impedes dialogues between mothers and offspring. Evidence was obtained showing that sexual repression stems from stigmas and preconcepts about sexual education of persons with visual defficiencies.
