“It Is Help, Not Prostitution”. Sexuality, Aging and Affection Among Persons with Homosexual Conduct in The Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

This article integrates a broader research worried with the intersection among aging, memory and homosexual conducts in Pantanal region of Mato Grosso do Sul. I discuss here the changes and perspectives operated during the life course of some of interlocutors of mine in what concerns sexuality and aging. I analyze help as a category to understand the strategies used to establish emotional, erotic and sexual bonds. Finally, I mark the relations among sex, affection, erotism and money among the interlocutors, their lovers and prostitution.
