description This work seeks to intertwine some findings from three anthropological investigations in Uruguay of which I have been a part: one addressed sexual negotiations and the strategies that women put into practice to manage the differences that occur in heterosexual encounters; another the meanings and experiences of the erotic in practitioners of free love and BDSM; the third, the models of sexuality and love that are being built and reaffirmed from neo-Pentecostal churches based on anti-gender discourses. The purpose will be to build a dialogue between these investigations to visualize the different forms that eroticism adopts in these contexts, considering the practices and discourses of various social actors. In particular, the interest will be in identifying how eroticism can be useful to question or reaffirm the dominant sex-affective models, characterized by patriarchy, heterosexuality and monogamy as systems, and gender-sex binary and complementarity. The voices of the different actors will give an account of how these sexual-affective models are embodied, resisted, modified, dismantled, reconstructed or reaffirmed through their practices and discourses.

El siguiente trabajo busca entrecruzar algunos hallazgos de tres investigaciones antropológicas en Uruguay de las que he formado parte: una abordó las negociaciones sexuales y las estrategias que las mujeres ponen en práctica para gestionar las diferencias que se dan en los encuentros heterosexuales; otra, las significaciones y vivencias de lo erótico en practicantes de amor libre y de BDSM; la tercera los modelos de sexualidad y amor que se vienen construyendo y reafirmando desde iglesias neopentecostales en base a discursos antigénero. El propósito será construir un diálogo entre estas investigaciones para visualizar las distintas formas que adopta el erotismo en estos contextos, considerando las prácticas y discursos de diverses actores sociales. En particular, el interés estará puesto en identificar de qué forma el erotismo puede ser útil para cuestionar o reafirmar los modelos sexo-afectivos dominantes, caracterizados por el patriarcado, la heterosexualidad y la monogamia como sistemas, y el binarismo y la complementariedad sexo-genérica. Las voces de les distintes actores darán cuenta de cómo se encarnan, resisten, modifican, desmontan, reconstruyen o reafirman estos modelos sexo-afectivos a través de sus prácticas y discursos.
