Mulher: o prazer e o saber

Abstract

Accurate knowledge of the female body concerning its pleasure zones, for a long time, was considered a taboo. Therefore, female pleasure has been a silenced and judged subject throughout human history, and there are still traces of this silencing and judgment regarding female sexuality in today's society. The aim of this study is to analyse the perceptions of Biological Sciences students and teachers on the influence of religion, educational attainment, marital status and length of relationship in the understanding of the body and sexual pleasure relations. For this, a questionnaire with open and closed questions, through an online platform, was applied to female students and professors of Biological Sciences at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul, Campus Realeza, Parana. Considering the thesis statement of this paper, it is possible to affirm religion does not influence the understanding of the female body and pleasure relations; marital status and length of relationship are determining factors for knowledge of pleasure, and educational attainment could not be assessed with certainty in this research.
