What interests children about sexuality?
BACKGROUND: In recent decades, international organisations have advocated for comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in school curricula, emphasising its role in equipping children with knowledge, skills, and values for informed, healthy, and respectful decisions about sexuality. Despite this, CSE programmes often focus on adolescence, adopting a preventive approach centred on risks like HIV and unintended pregnancies, while neglecting topics su…
My belly tickles! And my vulva too
In Spain, children's sexuality is a sensitive topic, and pleasure is its most controversial aspect, contradicting the notion of children's innocence. Through a new feminist materialist approach, I analyse the narratives of primary school children (aged 9–11) about pleasant bodily sensations to explore their capacity for pleasure and the assemblage of elements that facilitate it. Additionally, I describe the forces that stabilise these assemblages…

Governança de la sexualitat a l'etapa d'Educació Infantil
A Catalunya, la sexualitat infantil és governada de diferents maneres segons l'edat i el gènere. A partir de l'anàlisi de narratives d'infants d'entre tres i cinc anys de quatre escoles públiques catalanes, emmarcades en el projecte SexAFIN, s'han analitzat les percepcions dels infants al voltant de la sexualitat i l'afectivitat. Emmarcat en les epistemologies feministes i la comprensió de la governança de la sexualitat, aquest article reflexiona…
Self-touching, genitals, pleasure and privacy
Until December 2020, Spanish primary schools were not required to provide any kind of sexuality education, and most teachers did not receive training to carry it out. However, sexuality is clearly present in children’s daily lives in school. We carried out qualitative research with teachers from four primary schools in Catalonia (Spain), aiming to explore how teachers without specific training in sexuality approach the issues in the classroom. Ou…
We haven’t even been able to talk!’
Through language, children participate actively in the construction of meanings around sexuality, which is governed unequally according to gender. This article examines the articulation of the social constructions of sexuality and gender with the pictorial and narrative representations of boys and girls from 9 to 11 years of age from four public schools in Barcelona province in the 2020–2021 school year. We used participatory methods, including d…
Pregnancy and babies versus penises and intercourse
We examine the border between sexuality and reproduction from the perspective of pre-pubescent children from two primary schools in Spain, a country where childhood is seen as asexual. We conducted 14 focus groups with children aged 9 and 11 to analyze the gender differences that primary-school-aged children produced when talking about sexuality through the lens of reproduction. When we asked about reproduction, children produced sexualities and …
