Este artigo analisa formas de regulação do gênero e da sexualidade em sua articulação com os discursos normativos acionados na produção discursiva do envelhecimento. Buscando problematizar os jogos de verdade que cercam as experimentações de homens idosos em práticas homo/eróticas, tratou-se neste estudo (resultado de uma tese de doutorado em Educação) de compreender como algo em torno de uma forma que o corpo toma é fabricado e descrito como verdade, produzindo sua materialidade (discursiva) 'abjeta'.This article analyzes forms of regulation of gender and sexuality in their relationship with the normative discourses triggered by the discursive production of the 'aging'. Seeking the games of truth that surround the experience of elderly men with homo erotic practices, this study (the result of a doctoral thesis in Education) tried to understand how the modern discursive practices can build and materialize the aging body as "abject".

Este artigo discute a dinâmica homoerótica e os signos de masculinidade que caracterizam ou marcam os encontros de barebacking. Essa discussão é decorrente de uma etnografia on-line, no contexto brasileiro, entre os anos de 2004 a 2007, considerando as novas possibilidades da internet, de trocas de experiências e encontros eróticos, como é o caso das comunidades do Orkut. Distintas modalidades de barebacking (e barebackers) parecem coexistir atualmente, demonstrando que múltiplos aspectos e situações estão implicados no sexo desprotegido. Uma dessas modalidades diz respeito à sua forma mais extensiva e de maior contato, ou seja, às formas mais extremas ou transgressivas em busca de prazer. Entretanto, todos os praticantes parecem ter em comum um discurso sobre o prazer mais livre e intenso no sexo sem camisinha, ainda que, para alguns, esse prazer esteja estreitamente vinculado a uma experiência mais excessiva ou transgressiva, inclusive por desafiar o vírus, a doença e os limites da própria vidaThis article discusses the homoerotic dynamics and the signs of masculinity that characterize barebacking dates. This discussion is originated from on-line ethnography in the Brazilian context, from 2004 to 2007, considering the experiences and erotic dates exchange the internet makes possible, as it is the case of Orkut communities. Different modalities of barebacking (and barebackers) seem to coexist now, demonstrating that multiple aspects and situations are implicated during unprotected sex. One of these modalities is a form of more extensive and larger contact, in other words, the most extreme or transgressive forms in search of pleasure. However, all the barebackers interviewed seemed to have in common the same discourse about having more free and intense pleasure during unprotected sex, even though, for some of them, this pleasure was intimately linked to a more excessive and transgressive experience, as it challenges the virus, the disease, and the limits of their own life
