Resumo: This work is the result of an analysis on the Masters & Johnson’s Reports, originally published in 1966 (Human Sexual Response) and 1970 (The Human Sexual Inadequacy). The reports investigated, produced in the United States and spread worldwide, were prepared based on a careful, scientific investigation of the physiologic and anatomic responses of male and female sexuality. The authors used the results to formulate techniques and treatment in sexual therapy, which are so far in use by professionals in the clinical area. The Masters & Johnson’s reports came with the proposal of filling the medical, physiological and psychological gaps left by the behaviorist statistics research by Alfred Kinsey (1948 and 1953). M&J‘s work defends openly the heterosexual monogamist marriage, with elaborations mingled with gender questions. From the theoretical tools by Michel Foucault, it is possible to observe that they are examples of the scientia sexualis practice, which tries to institute a truth in sex and of sex.

Os relatórios analisados, produzidos nos Estados Unidos e com repercussão mundial, foram elaborados a partir de uma minuciosa investigação científica das respostas fisiológicas e anatômicas da sexualidade masculina e feminina. Os autores, em decorrência, utilizaram esses conhecimentos para a formulação de técnicas e tratamento em terapia sexual utilizadas até hoje por profissionais da área clínica. Os relatórios Masters & Johnson emergiram com a proposta de preencher as lacunas médicas, fisiológicas e psicológicas diante das pesquisas estatísticas comportamentais de Alfred Kinsey (1948 e 1953). A obra de M&J se apresenta abertamente como uma defesa do casamento monogâmico heterossexual, e com elaborações atravessadas por questões de gênero. Partindo do instrumental teórico de Michel Foucault, verifica-se serem exemplares da prática de uma scientia sexualis, que procura instituir uma verdade no sexo e do sexo.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X201000010001410.1590/S0104-026X2010000100014Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 18 No. 1 (2010); 221Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 18 Núm. 1 (2010); 221Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 18 n. 1 (2010); 2211806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2010000100014/12400Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSena, Tito2020-01-30T11:25:18Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/13532Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:52.087704Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
