Mayoría de edad: el imperativo sexual

Abstract

This article analyzes the way in which young people sexuality is depicted in the medical-sexological discourse. The TV program of the National Radio and Television System of Costa Rica (SINART) En el punto: de la ciencia al sexo, would be the discursive source of the present analysis. One of the most important aspects is the biopolitical inscription of the sexual body, specially the teenager’s body. By the other hand, the main object of these reflections is the deconstruction of this aseptic sexological view, devoted to an axiomatic logic in which pleasure depends of age.
