Cet article adresse les conceptualisations de 'sexe' (en rapport avec les categories biologie/nature) et de 'relations entre les sexes' (en rapport avec la culture). Les anthropologues ont des difficultes a conceptualiser les relations entre les sexes si ce n'est a travers une vision des differences sexuelles binaire et orientee sur la reproduction. En utilisant des donnees recueillies chez les Gitanos (Gitans espagnols), cet article demontre qu'il est possible d'apprehender le corps sans pour autant abandonner l'idee que la masculinite et la femininite sont des constructions culturelles. Bien que ces Gitanos fondent l'identite personnelle sur la difference heterosexuelle, l'element physique par lequel ils definissent la feminite - la honra (glandes de Bartholin) - n'est pas reconnu dans l'imagination occidentale populaire ou anthropologique. Cet article decrit les pratiques et les conceptions communes qui contribuent a la creation de la feminite Gitano. De meme que l'experience d'etre femme ou homme varie d'une culture a l'autre, le corps aussi est different
