- Abstract
Vaginismus is characterized as an involuntary contraction that prevents vaginal penetration, which can cause suffering and changes in love relationships. Therefore, in this study we sought to discuss the romantic attachment in women with vaginismus, reflecting on the influence of elements of the romantic relationship and the sociocultural context in the experience of this dysfunction. This is a qualitative-exploratory research, carried out through semi-structured interviews, with nine women who presented symptoms of vaginismus. The results were categorized from the content analysis and point to the importance of collaborative support from partners, and the absence of this support can prolong the treatment. Social roles around gender influence the perception of sexual dysfunction and marital dynamics, creating feelings of guilt and insecurity. Therefore, the importance of expanding conceptions of sexuality is highlighted, with the role of health professionals to instruct their patients with vaginismus in this process.
