RESUMEN
Discussing difficult and personal topics is not new to those practicing palliative care. Specialty-level consultation is often sought to facilitate complex and uncomfortable conversations on death and dying. Palliative care (PC) providers focus on patient and family needs through the lens of whole-person care. Sexuality is an important component of every person's identity, yet providers often avoid this topic. Avoiding conversations about sexuality is especially strong when the patient has a serious illness. PC providers are recognized communication experts, although current curricula offer little training on how to incorporate discussions regarding this important aspect of personhood. Using case discussions, we offer strategies for examining sexuality and incorporating sex-positive interventions into practice. By highlighting how sexuality and PC intersect, we hope to foster a community of interdisciplinary PC providers who practice what we have termed sex-positive palliative care.
