Tensiones en la educación sexual : pornografía y transformación de la sexualidad en la era digital

Abstract

The present work constitutes an argumentative exercise that objects to the traditional chairs in sexual education, whose pedagogical practice is commonly assigned to biology teachers, who from this discipline approach sexuality with contraceptive and prophylactic approaches; edges that, although they are important for society, exclude countless elements present in this human dimension, among them: pleasure, desire, power, the body, identity, among many others, which take on relevance by being builders of culture, civility and the subject; that is why throughout the investigation the lack of reciprocity between the objectives and the scope of sexual education interventions is insisted on; so that an industrial phenomenon is taken up which, given this lack of correspondence, assumes the role of shaper of sexuality: pornography. From this, a historical reconstruction is developed on the concept of sexuality -as a characteristic discourse of modern western societies-, in order to clarify the objectives of this project that seeks its teachability. In a second moment, we approach from a classroom experience to the identification of some obstacles and possibilities that emerge in the approach from the school of pornography as a presumed educator in sexuality; to finally present a content analysis that contextualizes other implicit communicative structures in the pornography and that reinforce the urgency to integrate the subject in sex education chairs, which in turn demand greater interdisciplinarity.
