Resumo
O presente estudo qualitativo investiga as definições e experiências de prazer sexual partilhado entre adultos emergentes em relações comprometidas. Utilizando um estudo transversal, foram recolhidos dados através de um inquérito online anónimo a partir de uma amostra de conveniência de 419 participantes. A análise temática reflexiva foi aplicada para explorar as complexidades do prazer sexual partilhado, revelando três temas principais: experiência partilhada, envolvimento sensorial e emocional, e experiência física. Os participantes enfatizaram a importância da intimidade, confiança e satisfação mútua como elementos centrais para o seu prazer sexual. Os resultados destacam que o prazer sexual e um constructo multidimensional, moldado pela conexão emocional, estimulação sensorial e limites pessoais, muitas vezes transcendendo o ato do orgasmo. Este estudo contribui para o crescente corpo de literatura sobre prazer sexual, discutindo-o como um componente vital do bem-estar e dos direitos humanos. Os resultados têm implicações significativas para a prática clínica, educação sexual e pesquisas futuras sobre a idade adulta emergente e a saúde sexual.
