Resumen
El concepto de asexualidad ha tomado recientemente importancia en el contexto médico. Sin embargo, es evidente una extensa polisemia en las publicaciones científicas. El objetivo de la presente revisión fue sintetizar críticamente el concepto de asexualidad en las publicaciones biomédicas. Se diseñó una revisión y análisis cualitativo de revisiones narrativas publicadas entre enero 1 del 2000 y junio 30 de 2018. Se siguieron las recomendaciones PRISMA7 sugeridas para este tipo de revisiones. La búsqueda se realizó en PubMed y la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud. Se usaron como descriptores o palabras clave: asexualidad y revisión. Se realizó una síntesis para la definición de asexualidad en tres pasos: codificación del texto 'línea por línea', el desarrollo de 'temas descriptivos', y la generación de 'temas analíticos', propio de análisis cualitativo. Se incluyeron ocho artículos. Los temas analíticos mostraron cuatro componentes para la definición de asexualidad: atracción/deseo sexual como componente central, relaciones sexuales, relaciones afectivas amorosas y la autoidentificación. La asexualidad es un constructo multidimensional. Es necesario llegar a un consenso para los criterios de la definición y con ello diseñar instrumentos o entrevista para su estudio, definir la prevalencia y factores asociados en diferentes contextos.Citas
