정신지체인의 성 관련 특성에 대한 개관 연구 = Overview on sexual characteristics of the person with mentally retared

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many of the issues regarding intimacy and sexuality involve relationships between persons with mentally retarded, as well as between these individuals and other community members. As persons with mentally retarded become more integrated into community life, meet more community members, and are supported in greater diversity of friendships, other issues regarding sexuality must also be taken into account, Person with mentally retarded themselves speak eloquently of the importance of sexuality and intimacy; these types of relationships should be supported. However, often due to this very importance, both confusion and vulnerability may occur. as a range of relationships develops, misunderstandings about the nature of the connections might arise in some cases; the limits of certain relationships might be misunderstood or overtures of friendship might be interpreted to have sexual overtones when they actually do not. Individuals may also have insufficient information and skills related to relationship building, and greater support for community connections may increase their vulnerability and potential for abuse.
A volume on friendships and community connections would be incomplete without consideration of these important issues. Support for friendship should include support for the entire spectrum of relationships, including the most intimate and affectionate types of relationships. Both the factors of successful support and potential problems need to be addressed.
In this overview, key issues regarding the sexuality of persons with mentally retarded are explored, including how persons with mentally retarded themselves view the topic. Some sexual "subcultures" for persons with mentally retarded than have been created as a result of the services system are described, as well as system factors that affect normal sexual development. The important of sexuality education is delineated from the vantage point of enhancing quality of life and enhancing relationships, and as an important precursor to prevention of abuse.
Both sexuality and sensuality are experiences essential to being human for all people. Although also essential to a persons with mentally retarded, these experiences are too often minimized, ignored, or dealt with inadequately in services and programs designed to assist them.
