Resumo: | Abstract This article addresses the rapidly growing use of information and communication technologies in mediating new settings for sexual relations. The specific focus is on cruising among young men who have sex with men via e-dating. The study used a qualitative methodology with peer group discussions on sexuality, health, and risk. The new framework provided by technology is marked by (a) increased access to these practices, (b) greater dissemination of them, (c) greater immediacy of encounters, (d) anticipation of what will be offered during dates, (e) anonymous access, allowing bolder proposals, and (f) openness to a wider range of users. These elements converge in a framework that indicates a new social organization of sexual practice. |

En concreto, hemos explorado una práctica determinada, el cruising, entre hombres jóvenes que tienen sexo con hombres contactado a través de las e-citas. Se ha apostado por la metodología cualitativa con la intención de recopilar los discursos sobre sexualidad, riesgos y salud que se generan y construyen entre el grupo de iguales. Según extraemos de nuestro estudio, el nuevo marco que confiere esta tecnología estaría caracterizado por (a) una mayor accesibilidad a dichas prácticas, (b) una mayor difusión de estas, (c) una mayor inmediatez de acceso a las propuestas, (d) la anticipación de lo que será ofrecido en la cita, (e) acceso anónimo que permite propuestas más atrevidas y (f) una apertura mayor a la diversidad de usuarios. Todos estos elementos confluyen en un cuadro que nos lleva a considerar una organización social renovada de la práctica sexual.Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é explorar o papel que a irrupção da mediação tecnológica da informação e da comunicação desempenha na definição de novos contextos para a relação sexual. Em particular, explora-se uma determinada prática, o cruising entre os homens jovens que fazem sexo com homens contatados via e- encontros. Nossa aposta foi pela metodologia qualitativa, com a intenção de recolher os discursos sobre a sexualidade, a saúde e os riscos que são gerados e construídos entre o grupo de pares. De acordo com o nosso estudo, o novo quadro que oferece essa tecnologia seria marcado por: (a) uma maior acessibilidade a essas práticas; (b) uma maior divulgação das mesmas, bem como (c) um maior imediatismo de acesso para as propostas; (d) a antecipação do que vai ser oferecido no encontro; (e) acesso anônimo que permite propostas mais ousadas; e (f) uma maior abertura para a diversidade de usuários. Todos esses elementos convergem em um contexto que leva-nos a considerar uma nova organização social da prática sexual.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2015-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5714Reports in Public Health; Vol. 31 No. 11 (2015): NovemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 31 n. 11 (2015): Novembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZengspahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5714/11895https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5714/11896https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5714/11897https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/5714/11898Arantxa Grau-MuñozEduardo Pla-ErnstJosefina Belda-IbáñezAmparo Juan-CorronsElisa Fernández-GarcíaElena Doménech-AlonsoEnrique Galán-RubioFernando Lloria-PaesTrinidad Zafra-EspinosaTeresa Tasa-ZapaterConcepción Santos-RubioIgnacio Alastrue-Loscosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:53Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/5714Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:06:32.108325Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
