Resumo: This article is about sexual myths and conducts, aiming to demonstrate the constructed nature of the Brazilian sexuality representation as highly eroticized and malleable. Starting from a constructivist perspective of sexuality, the myth of Brazilian sexual nature is analyzed. There is a widespread idea that Brazilian culture is sexually too open, expansive and warm – which is considered as a positive reference for national identity. Considering historical data and those originated from a survey carried out in three regions of the country with young people of both sexes aged 18 through 24, the article demonstrates that sexual behaviors do not correspond to the socially diffused image of Brazilian sexuality - strongly patterned by gender relations.

A partir de uma visão construtivista da sexualidade, os mitos em torno da natureza sexual dos brasileiros são analisados. Vigora no país a representação de que a cultura brasileira é muito aberta sexualmente, expansiva e calorosa – o que se constitui como referência positiva para a identidade nacional. A partir de dados provenientes de um inquérito domiciliar realizado em três cidades de distintas regiões do país, com jovens de ambos os sexos, de 18 a 24 anos, e de dados históricos, o artigo busca demonstrar que os comportamentos sexuais não correspondem à imagem socialmente difundida da sexualidade brasileira, fortemente codificada por relações de gênero.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2006-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200600010000410.1590/S0104-026X2006000100004Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 14 No. 1 (2006); 43Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 14 Núm. 1 (2006); 43Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 14 n. 1 (2006); 431806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2006000100004/7602Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHeilborn, Maria Luiza2020-01-30T08:45:40Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/8287Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:24.573389Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
