Abstract

In the last years, questions about childhood, school, sexuality and gender are subjects
of interest of several actions of the public power. Thus, this article proposes to analyze the
process of normalization of subjectivities in childhood through the regulation of masturbation in
the schools. The construction of children's sexuality, through play and rules, is associated with a
traditional gender relationship. In addition, masturbation is denied as a playful act of pleasure for
the child to know his body, especially in school. But the attempt to ban questions and practices
about bodies and pleasures, rather than repressing something, insists on creating standardized
modes of existence. Thus, when investigating the relations between sexuality, childhood and
school, we propose to analyze the prohibitions established between such terms and masturbation.
