FERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, Daniel. El obelisco coital: dispositivo sexológico y masculinidad. La ventana [online]. 2016, vol.5, n.43, pp.82-123. ISSN 1405-9436.

The present article analyses the construction of masculine sexuality that entails the sexological device, taking as source of analysis the TV program En el punto: de la ciencia al sexo, from the National Radio and Television System of Costa Rica (SINART). An important premise of the study is the contradiction in the heart of sexological discourse, according to which, in spite of the affirmation that sexuality is a holistic field, most of the suggestions, warnings and exhortations of this discipline, are directed to coitus. That polarization, reproduce the stereotypical designation of active men and passive women and strengthen a model of sexuality, in which the main goal is to maximize the performance of the male bio-genital apparatus.

Keywords : masculinity; sexology; biopolitics; coitus; sexual dysfunction.
