This article sought to answer the following question: How do people cross-refer to the issue of the body, in the discourses on the sexuality of people with disabilities, and, thus, in the elaboration of their social representations? The main objective was to discuss the sexuality of people with disabilities in the light of the Theory of Social Representations (TRS), using photographs as a technique to identify these representations. The research involved the voluntary participation of 20 university students (10 without disabilities and 10 with physical disabilities) enrolled in Human and Social Sciences courses, from a public university, distributed equally between both sexes (10 men and 10 women), with ages between 19 and 59 years, recruited from a non-probabilistic sampling (for convenience) and the snowball technique. The data were obtained from the sociodemographic questionnaire, to characterize the profile of the participants, and from the semi-structured interview, in which one of the questions used the photo-language, which will be the focus of analysis of this article. The data produced in the research were analyzed through the software IRAMUTEQ, from the Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) and the quantitative data, using the SPSS statistical package, with descriptive statistics. The results were divided into corpus, one referring to the responses of people with physical disabilities (Experiences of sexuality in disabilities) and the other with people without disabilities (Perceptions about sexuality in disabilities). The social representations found were distributed in the following themes: life with disabilities and limitations; body with disability and self-image; sexual intercourse; marriage; reproduction; family.
