Tabu seksualnih občutenj med dojenjem : diplomsko delo

Grabner, Lea (author), Mivšek, Ana Polona (mentor), Stanek Zidarič, Tita (reviewer)

Uvod: Orgazem ni omejen samo na stimulacijo genitalij, temveč je lahko vezan tudi na draženje drugih erogenih con. Dojenčkovo sesanje bradavice med dojenjem lahko pri nekaterih materah sproži podobne občutke, njim poznane kot orgazem, ki ga doživijo med spolnim odnosom. Ženske lahko ta občutek vznemiri, saj je v njihovem dojemanju in očeh družbe doživljanje seksualnih občutenj med dojenjem lastnega otroka neprimerno. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati povezavo med seksualnimi občutki in dojenjem ter opredeliti, ali predstavljajo tabu v družbi. Metode dela: V teoretičnem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo raziskovanja s pregledom literature v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela pa je bila uporabljena kvantitativna metoda s pomočjo spletnega anketnega vprašalnika 1KA. Naša ciljna populacija so bile matere, ki so oziroma še dojijo. Vprašalnik je bil deljen na spletnih omrežjih, v skupinah, katerih članice so matere. Narejena je bila osnovna deskriptivna statistika. Rezultati: V naši raziskavi je sodelovalo 532 doječih mater. Seksualna občutenja med dojenjem jih je doživelo 95 (18 %). Največ mater je te občutke sprejelo, nekatere pa je bilo sram in so se počutile krive, zato so te občutke zadržale zase. Tiste, ki so se odločile zaupati svoja občutenja, so ta delile s svojim partnerjem. Več kot polovica (69 %) mater meni, da so seksualna občutenja med dojenjem biološka reakcija telesa. Prav tako jih večina (89 %) meni, da veljajo seksualna občutenja med dojenjem v naši družbi še vedno za tabu. Razprava in zaključek: Seksualni občutki med dojenjem so bili med anketirankami prisotni, a ker so menile, da bi lahko bile zaradi njih stigmatizirane, o njih niso govorile. Naloga zdravstvenih delavcev je, da matere seznanijo s hormonskimi spremembami v poporodnem obdobju in jim predstavijo dojenje v vseh vidikih ter detabuizirajo fiziološke odzive telesa med dojenjem.

• Title: The taboo of sexual feelings during breastfeeding : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Orgasm is not limited to genital stimulation but can also be triggered by stimulating other erogenous zones. A baby's sucking on the nipple during breastfeeding can provoke similar sensations in some mothers, akin to the orgasm experienced during sexual intercourse. Mothers might find this sensation disturbing, as experiencing sexual feelings while breastfeeding their child is considered inappropriate in their eyes and in society's view. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the connection between sexual feelings and breastfeeding and to determine whether these feelings are considered taboo in society. Methods: In the theoretical part, we used a descriptive research method by reviewing literature in both Slovenian and English. In the empirical part of the thesis, a quantitative method was employed using the online survey tool 1KA. Our target population consisted of mothers who are currently breastfeeding or have breastfed. The questionnaire was shared on social media, in groups composed of mothers. Basic descriptive statistics were conducted. Results: A total of 532 breastfeeding mothers participated in our study. Sexual feelings during breastfeeding were experienced by 95 (18%) of them. Most mothers accepted these feelings, but some felt ashamed and guilty, keeping these feelings to themselves. Those who decided to share their feelings did so with their partner. More than half (69%) of the mothers believe that sexual feelings during breastfeeding are a biological reaction of the body. Additionally, the majority (89%) believe that sexual feelings during breastfeeding are still considered taboo in our society. Discussion and conclusion: Sexual feelings during breastfeeding were present among the respondents, but since they believed they would be stigmatized because of them, they did not talk about them. It is the task of healthcare professionals to educate mothers about hormonal changes and to present breastfeeding in all its aspects, thus demystifying this physiological response of the body during breastfeeding.
