Sexualidad inhibida

Abstract

This study analyzes inhibited sexuality as a communicative phenomenon, focusing on interpersonal communication dynamics, media representations, and social discourses. Through an audiovisual documentary, the perspectives of experts and testimonies from different participants are gathered to demonstrate how sexuality can be silenced, censored, or hypersexualized in different communication spaces. The study seeks to highlight the contradiction between the widespread exposure to sexual content on the internet and in the media and, at the same time, the difficulty of discussing sexuality openly, informatively, and without prejudice. Thus, communicative silence, family taboos, religious discourses, and forms of censorship contribute to sexual inhibition and affect the way society understands and communicates about sexuality.
