VILET CARVAJAL, Mariana Gabriela  and  GALAN JIMENEZ, Jaime Sebastián F.. Body appropriation: autoerotism and sexual machismo. La ventana [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.53, pp.342-373.  Epub Feb 23, 2021. ISSN 1405-9436.

Autoerotism as a self-managed possibility of individual pleasure, is not limited to masturbation, it also includes fantasies, dreams, explorations, excitations and desires. The objective of this research is to know the implications of autoerotism with gender mandates, identities and sexes, as well as assessing their relationship with sexual “machismo” and the possibility of enjoyment. A cross-sectional, correlational and comparative analytical quantitative design was used in the method. The sample size was 277 participants, 62% were women, 37.1% men and 0.72% intersex with an average age of 25 D.E. 7.23. The obtained results allow us to infer that autoeroticism and enjoyment (gaudibility) are associated, related to the identification with feminism. In turn, lower autoerotism and gaudibility in women, significant differences between binary and non-binary people in enjoyment capacity, significant correlations between body care, the sense of ownership and its negative relationship with having unwanted relationships. Autoerotism as appropriation of the body and liberation of patriarchal gender mandates.

Keywords : body; gender; autoerotism; sexual machismo and measurement.
