ABSTRACT

For the study and understanding of sexual desire it is necessary to consider physiological, psychological and socio-cultural factors. Men confirm their manhood by expressing their sexual desire; therefore, this is an issue that concerns them when deciding to get a vasectomy. Objective: To compare sexualdesire experiences and meanings in men with and without vasectomy. Method: Mixed-type research: qualitative and quantitative. Fifteen men without vasectomy (group A) and 15 men with vasectomy (group B) voluntarily participated. Informed consent and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Results: Comparatively, before operation more men of group B used condoms and coitus interruptus as contraceptive methods. In both groups, the first-intercourse average was 17,6 years old and their sexual desire was described as: drives, feelings, desires, thoughts, fantasies and emotions towards sexual penetration (vaginal, anal, or oral) that resulted in an ejaculation and orgasm. In Group B, sexual desire slightly decreased due to post-surgical discomfort and pain. Further, in most men, as a result of their confidence of non-reproduction, there was an increase of sexual desire and an augmentation of their sexual activity. Conclusions: In both groups sexual desire depends on several factors to become a sexual act.
