GREGORI, Maria Filomena. Usos de sex toys: a circulação erótica entre objetos e pessoas. Mana [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.2, pp. 313-336. ISSN 0104-9313.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-93132011000200003.

This article presents a discussion on the interconnections between people, bodies and objects and their effects on norms relating to gender and sexuality, based on statements given by users of erotic accessories. The relationships implied in the uses and practices surrounding these objects suggest, in particular, experiences of displacement between sex and gender, body and matter, subject and object, bodily presence and virtuality.
