Description: Research studies on sex and sexuality in Chile are limited, with most studies focusing on public health concerns such as sexually transmitted infections and risky behaviors. Positive aspects of sexuality, such as sexual pleasure and non-normative practices, have been largely ignored. Therefore, there is a need to update knowledge on sex and sexuality at the population level and explore new topics of interest. This collaborative project aimed to explore and update the knowledge of sex and sexuality among Chilean men and women by collecting a sample of diverse participants through self-report measures. The study covers various sexual aspects, including sexual preferences, practices, pleasure, use of drugs during sex, amongst many others. The study is expected to inform and impact sexual education programs and policies and expand conversations related to sexual health and wellbeing.
