OLIVER DE LA CRUZ, Laura Gabriela. A Qualitative Study on the Creation of Erotic-Affective Relationships of Migrant Couples. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12483.  Epub 05-Dez-2022. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2483.

The objective of the study was to understand the creation and transformation of the erotic-affective bonds of Latin American migrant couples. The research was conducted with couples who use the Spanish Red Cross migration center. The qualitative design of the study is based on Gadamer’s hermeneutic phenomenology; in-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted to collect information. The four resulting topics (migratory experience, erotic dimension, affective dimension, and strengthening affective relationships in the destination country) add to the understanding of the migratory phenomenon from a little-studied perspective, integrating sensitive experiences. It is concluded that affective expressions, along with erotic expressions, are indispensable for adaptation during the migration project. The bond builds on joint experiences during migration and is strengthened while strategies and adaptation skills are created. The number of interviews limited the representativeness of the sample, in addition to the lack of time to delve into sexuality.
