Abstract: Sexuality is closely related to human identity, and despite this, it has been surrounded by prejudice, negative attitudes, and stigma, leading to issues related to health. Research in sexuality is important for generating resources, promoting, and preventing problems and dysfunctions related to sexual health. Sexuality has had a scientific perspective since the 19th century, and figures such as Iwan Bloch, Sigmund Freud, Von Krafft-Ebing, Albert Moll, Magnus Hirschfeld, Havelock Ellis, Michel Foucault, and John Gagnon have contributed significantly to its study. In modern sexology, researchers like Kinsey, Hite, Johnson, and Masters were relevant for their disruptive concepts and studies at the time, challenging myths about female sexuality, sexual dysfunctions, and homosexuality, while Basson and Kaplan helped to understand human sexual response.
Currently, information about sexuality is abundant and covers multiple areas, but in Latin America, research still has a wide field to cover. This is essential for a better understanding of sexuality and the creation of policies and interventions for the benefit of the population.
