Resumen

Introducción: Para las ciencias del comportamiento sobre la conducta sexual, tradicionalmente, la investigación ha expuesto conjuntos no unificados de repertorios en ausencia de clasificaciones fundamentales. Por ello, este trabajo trata de exponer una propuesta de taxonomía completa y fundamentada. Métodos: Se desarrolló una propuesta de largo alcance bajo criterio de expertos haciendo un análisis temático de la literatura. Después, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática para ponerla a prueba y extenderla. Resultados: Se encontraron 36 variables descriptivas de las acciones y el contexto inmediato, y se situaron en 5 grupos: pareja (descripción), combinatorio, elementos u objetos (asociados), conductas parafílicas y conducta sexual. Se revisaron 650 estudios de los que 143 se evaluaron en profundidad. Sólo un elemento fue incluido al listado final tras la revisión sistemática. Discusión: Se obtuvo una taxonomía general del comportamiento sexual humano. El objetivo de este mapeo es facilitar mejores comparaciones entre muestras o individuos basándose en un criterio de referencia unificado.
