Abstract
The question of the norm is aggravated when the matter is the sexuality in adolescence, and even more, sexuality in adolescence while being deprived of freedom. The objective of this work is to map the bibliographical production about how the professionals of the socio-educational system deal with the expressions of adolescents’ sexuality in socio-educational internment. We searched several online databases, using different combinations of the keywords sexuality, adolescents, socio-educational, sexual rights and reproductive rights, and we found few works on the matter. The articles and texts were discussed through a thematic proposal, since their reading allowed to highlight the forces that make up the scenario of adolescents’ sexuality in the deprivation of freedom, making emerge as themes of analysis: sexuality as a right, practices of professionals in the socio-educational system, and the question of the intimate visit. The professionals’ understanding that working on sexuality is not part of socioeducation was remarkable, and this is taken as a problem to be avoided. Regarding deprivation of liberty spaces, it can be said that the disciplinary functioning to which adolescents are submitted, operates schemes of surveillance and control of sexuality, instituting daily micropenalties applicable to any deviation. Professionals deal with the issue through discipline and control, in the detriment of autonomy and pleasure, evidencing how far we are from guaranteeing youth protagonism in the political decisions related to this young population.
