Resumen
La sexualidad en las personas con DI (en adelante DI), ha sido durante años, un tema tabú en la sociedad española. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, la preocupación de las instituciones, familiares y personas implicadas ha incrementado, reabriéndose el debate sobre el tema. En este trabajo se ha revisado la literatura existente sobre este tema, haciendo hincapié en el marco legal de las personas con discapacidad, en los antecedentes de la sexualidad en las personas con DI, en la educación sexual, el papel de las familias y de los Trabajadores Sociales y en la asistencia sexual, ya que es un tema que lleva pocos años presente en España. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es conocer e indagar en el tratamiento que las familias, expertos, medios u otros, otorgan a la sexualidad de las personas con DI.
