In the scope of a nationwide survey on sexual practices and risk management, what caught our attention, in the search for media materials relating sex and sexualities to the Covid-19 pandemic, the majority presence of a group of “specialists” linked to the heterogeneous field of Sexology, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, urologists, sexologists, sex educators, associated with infectologists. Through keyword research, via google search, we inventoried a number of 44 articles from large and alternative journalistic groups websites, as well as clinics, professional associations and private blogs, published between March 2020 and July 2021. From these, we focused our analysis on 30 articles corresponding to those published by large and alternative journalistic groups. The reading performed was inspired by the problematic of the production of objects via enunciative and material practices, through which associations between different elements, questions and explicit answers, stabilize not only the senses, but the objects in dispute, in the case observed here, sexual practices. At the end of our study, it was noticed that the sex and sexuality produced by the “specialists” through the media channels tends to the generalization of bodies and the decontextualization of practices.
