SUMMARY:

The sexuality of straight Brazilian men orientation is not a very explored field in our country. In the male representations about the ideal of sex, pleasure, affection and woman, pornography stands out, which, as a gender technology, favors the association between sexual violence, objectification and domination of women. In this way, violence and sexuality are intimately related. The sexuality of this population is based on the effectiveness device, which has some characteristics as sexual virility, and the detachment of what is considered feminine and from the gay universe. In this sense, the study of three dimensions is necessary, as they are intrinsically related: erotic imaginary, sexual desire, and sexual behavior. “Erotic imaginary” is a dimension that brings together cognition (imagination) and eroticism (lascivious, sensual love). "Sexual desire" refers to the field of desire and arousal. And "sexual behavior" refers not only to sexual activities, but also to scripts (set of practices within a specific context) and meanings (functions and values attributed to sexual activities). This study aims to understand subjective aspects related to sexual life in heterosexual men. To this end, a mixed methodology will be adopted, composed of three stages: a first, theoretical, with a literature review about the theme; a second quantitative, with descriptive character and an application of an electronic form; a third, qualitative, with an explanatory nature and individual interviews. Straight men, over 18 years old, capable for acts of civil life, white and black, will participate in the research. The electronic form contains simple questions (“yes”, “no”), Likert scale, and multiple choice, and the answers will be analyzed using the SPSS program. The form will also provide data on men interested in participating in the interview, which was organized based on a semi-structured script, with questions covering the three object dimensions of this study. The third stage will have the material recorded in audio, and it will be evaluated through Content Analysis. The present research is justified by the possibility of opening the limits that surround the sexuality of straight men, considering that this can favor the existence of other ways of being masculine – different from the logic of the effectiveness device, and not guided by violence as a way of being.
