Résumé

La qualité de vie ne s’envisage plus aujourd’hui sans la qualité de la vie sexuelle. La sexualité, c’est l’ensemble des affects, fantasmes et comportements liés á la jouissance du corps de l’autre et/ou du sien propre1. Aider un(une) patient(e) á revivre aprés un cancer, c’est aussi l’aider á retrouver une sexualité satisfaisante. Encore aujourd’hui, la sexualité reste un domaine délicat á aborder, par les patients qui sont, d’une part, souvent gênés, craignant d’importuner. D’autre part, si le médecin se sent capable de «gérer» les problémes somatiques, il a souvent plus de mal á faire face aisément á cet «autre» probléme du corps qu’est la sexualité de ses patients et met volontiers en place, selon l’expression consacrée, des «stratégies d’évitement» qui le protégent.

Selon A. Comte-Sponville.
