Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Humans are sexed beings, which many of them maintain an active sexual life and begin at an early age however, this could be a problem if there is not an optimal base of sexual education. OBJECTIVE: To relate sexual education with the perception of sexual satisfaction and knowledge of the external genitalia of the opposite sex in cis-gender heterosexual women and men. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional analytical observational quantitative study, through the classification of structured questions and answers, quantifiable carried out to cis heterosexual students between 18 and 25 years. RESULTS: The results of this research, demonstrated the different ages of initiation of sexual activity, number of sexual partners and the perception of the current sexual life of the respondents, reflecting that most of the respondents began their sexual life early, however they maintained a low number of sexual partners, even so these refer to maintain a good sexual satisfaction wanting to maintain their current sexual life. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge gap between the different levels of education is still evident, as well as the lack of research on sexual satisfaction in Chile. On the other hand, the importance of the professional midwife is fundamental in each of the variables studied, since he/she is the most qualified professional to address this area.
