Abstract
El vaginismo es una dificultad sexual femenina que se caracteriza por la imposibilidad de practicar el coito o la penetración vaginal. Basado en la escasez de estudios sobre vaginismo desde una perspectiva sociocultural, el objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar las experiencias subjetivas de mujeres heterosexuales con vaginismo, mediante una aproximación sociológica, a través de una metodología cualitativa. El estudio se realizó a partir de entrevistas en profundidad como técnica de recopilación de datos. Los resultados obtenidos a través de un análisis temático encontraron que los discursos, encauzados en sus vidas afectivas y sexuales, están marcados por la percepción de sentirse disfuncionales e influidos por un modelo normativo de la sexualidad, caracterizado por ser coitocéntrico y genitalizado. Finalmente, el artículo concluye con la necesidad de un abordaje profesional dirigido a despatologizar el vaginismo y a deconstruir los discursos normativos de la sexualidad, permitiendo que el coito deje de considerarse esencial y priorizando prácticas alternativas de placer.

The study was conducted hrough in-depth interviews with women who had been diagnosed with vaginismus, as a data collection technique. The results obtained through a thematic analysis found that the speeches, channeled in their affective and sexual lives, are marked by the perception of feeling dysfunctional and influenced by anormative model of sexuality, characterized by being coitocentric and genitalized. Finally, the article concludes with the need for a professional approach aimed at depathologizing vaginismus and deconstructing the normative discourses of sexuality allowing intercourse to cease to be considered essential and prioritizing alternative pleasure practices.
