| Abstract (English): | This article examines the tensions between sexual diversity and healthcare in Chile, within the framework of a comparative doctoral study with Spain on the experiences and sexual well-being of BDSM/kink practitioners. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, and exploratory design, the study analyzed sociodemographic variables, sexual practices, community belonging, experiences of discrimination, and sexual satisfaction. Findings reveal a high diversity of gender identities and sexual orientations within BDSM/kink communities, alongside elevated exposure to discrimination in healthcare settings, particularly among non-binary, queer, and bisexual individuals. Community belonging emerged as a psychosocial protective factor, while the lack of professional training and institutional bias reinforced stigma and barriers to healthcare access. The study concludes that Chilean public health must incorporate critical and intersectional sexological frameworks, strengthening education on sexual diversity and developing inclusive clinical environments that recognize erotic diversity as part of the right to health and of both individual and collective sexual well-being.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Este artículo analiza las tensiones entre diversidad sexual y atención sanitaria en Chile, en el marco de una investigación doctoral comparativa con España sobre las experiencias y el bienestar sexual de personas practicantes de BDSM/kink. A través de un diseño cuantitativo, transversal y exploratorio, se examinaron variables sociodemográficas, prácticas sexuales, vínculos comunitarios, experiencias de discriminación y satisfacción sexual. Los resultados evidencian una alta diversidad de identidades de género y orientaciones sexuales dentro de las comunidades BDSM/kink, junto con una elevada exposición a discriminación en contextos sanitarios, especialmente entre personas no binarias, queer y bisexuales. La pertenencia comunitaria se configuró como un factor protector psicosocial, mientras que la falta de formación profesional y los sesgos institucionales reforzaron el estigma y las barreras de acceso a la salud. Se concluye que la salud pública chilena requiere integrar marcos sexológicos críticos e interseccionales, fortaleciendo la formación en diversidad sexual y la creación de entornos clínicos inclusivos que reconozcan la diversidad erótica como parte del derecho a la salud y del bienestar sexual individual y colectivo.
