At the same time, three thematic axes were recognized in which the studies founded were distributed: alternative sexual practices, sexuality and gender and cross-sectional studies. The relevance consists in the analytical review of the academic production of a topic poorly addressed in sociocultural research. We start from the epistemological orientation: what is the meaning of the search for sexual pleasure in an emergency context of alternative sexual practices?
