Resumen
The present research work was carried out in order to analyze the effects that gender
stereotypes have on the construction of sexuality in adolescents from the rural parish of San
Joaquín. For this, students of Basic Higher Education at the San Joaquín Educational Unit of
the Cuenca-Ecuador canton were taken as a case study. The mixed type methodology was
applied, the scope of the research being descriptive. The information collection instrument
was given through a survey and the population sample was 135 students
The main results obtained showed that there are gender stereotypes present mainly in care
work and economic work, due to the fact that there is a naturalization of the duty to be both
in men (provider subjects) and women (household tasks), in relation to the socially attributed
responsibility. In himself, it was possible to analyze that gender stereotypes directly infer the
way in which the study group assumes and lives their sexuality, due to the perpetuation of
ideals around feelings, attachment and sexual experience.
Finally, it could be seen that gender stereotypes are constructed in equal measure about the
sexes, however, they respond to different patterns, since, on the figure of the male, behaviors
and active experiences are naturally associated within their sexuality, unlike women, who are
built on the ideal of passive and caring femininity in relation to what they can or should do
around their sexual life
