AVILA SAN LEE, Minor  y  MURILLO SANCHEZ, Ricardo. Consideraciones médico - legales acerca de los conceptos jurisprudenciales de penetración parcial y coito vulvar: la corrección de un yerro conceptual. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.2, pp.24-33. ISSN 2215-5287.

This article discusses a topic of great significance in relation to the jurisdictional practice of the country, because it aims to demonstrate the correct interpretation and application of the terms of partial penetration and vulvar intercourse in sexual offenses as rape and sexual abuse. The hermeneutical exercise in relation to both terms should be made based on the forensic and legal branches, because their analysis must be accurate. The partial penetration established an action in which the virile member penetrates the vaginal cavity incompletely, so it constitutes a carnal access so therefore the criminal type to apply is the sexual crime of rape, while the action of vulvar intercourse makes allusion to as masturbatory action rubbing the penis on the vulvar area, so the criminal crime applicable is sexual abuse.

Palabras clave : Partial Penetration; Vulvar Intercourse; Carnal Access; Rape; Sexual Abuse; Himen; Vulva; Vagina.
