Looking at Resilience among Transgender and Gender Diverse People in Portugal
The transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) population is highly diverse. To date, research on the association of the various family-parenthood aspirations of TGGD people with distinct affirming paths and identities remains scarce. A survey was conducted aiming to characterize the TGGD population's diversity and socio-demographic profile. A community-based convenience sample of 115 self-identified TGGD adults living in Portugal was collected. Most …

Open interviews were conducted with men and women in public mental health services in Brazil. Transcrips were examined based on the proposal of sexual scripts.

Exploring Gender in Portuguese Bedrooms
The nature of intimacy and self-identity changed profoundly over the past century. The disruption between sex and procreation enabled the emergence of new forms of relationships and contributed towards the legitimacy of a sexuality focused on pleasure, as a mean of self-realization and an expression of intimacy. Despite the evidence that most individuals now approach close relations with expectations of mutual emotional support and romantic love,…

Transformations in the Medicalization of Sex
This article examines transformations in HIV prevention strategies from the 1980s to the present. Drawing on the concepts of medicalization (Conrad, 2007 ), discipline and biopolitics (Foucault, 1976/ 1988 ), and biomedicalization (Clarke, Fishman, Fosket, Mamo, & Shim, 2003 ), it explores the shift from behavioral to biomedical and surgical prevention techniques-a shift symbolic of a more general trend toward the biomedicalization of sexuality. …

Cent ans d'hétérosexualité
Cien años de heterosexualidad. La aparición de la heterosexualidad se inscribe dentro del movimiento que disocia la función erótica de la sexualidad de su función reproductora, es decir, en el contexto de la « modernización de la sexualidad ». A fines del siglo XIX, los « pioneros de la sexología » clasificaron la « heterosexualidad », forma de sexualidad cuya meta es la consecución del placer, entre las « aberraciones sexuales ». En el otro extr…
Da impotência à disfunção erétil
Este artigo retrata a história recente da transformação do conceito da impotência, como desordem psicossexual, em disfunção erétil, considerada como uma doença de etiologia principalmente orgânica. Demonstra sucessivamente como a impotência masculina constituiu uma abrangência global de todo o ciclo da resposta sexual, e ainda, uma violação da identidade e da autoimagem; como o relacionamento entre casais se transformou progressivamente em dificu…

While persons living in a couple in the two countries are quite similar, controlling for gender, age, and relationship status points to a number of important differences among those who are not living in a couple. Among these individuals, the French are more likely to be monogamous…
La place de la sexualité dans le travail infirmier
Partant du constat de la quasi-absence de travaux sociologiques sur la place de la sexualité dans la pratique infirmière, une enquête psycho-sociologique de terrain a été menée en 2007 et 2008 auprès de 64 infirmières et soignants travaillant dans le champ du cancer. La théorie des scripts de la sexualité (Gagnon, 1990) qui propose une distinction entre scénarios culturels, scripts interpersonnels et intra-psychiques a été appliquée à ce terrain.…

Partial non-response and “don't know” responses in surveys on sexual behaviour
This article is based on a secondary analysis of non-responses (NR) and “don't know” (DK)-responses in two French surveys on sexual behaviour. The analysis is situated within a problem framework focusing on dissociating the respondent's ignorance concerning an experience or knowledge of a behaviour and the way they are measured by means of DKs and NRs. First, the specificity and diversity of the information collected in these surveys is described…

A medicalização da sexualidade. Foucault e Lantéri-Laura
O livro de Lantéri-Laura, Leitura das perversões: história de sua apropriação médica, foi publicado em 1979, três anos depois do primeiro volume da História da sexualidade, de Michel Foucault. Os dois livros lidam com a história da sexualidade no século XIX, mas, curiosamente, Lantéri-Laura não cita Foucault. Uma leitura atenta de ambos os textos demonstra dois pontos: (1) enquanto Foucault estava preocupado com a relação entre sexualidade e verd…
