This study examined aspects of male sexuality in São Paulo using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It commences with an outline of some key tenets of emerging perspectives on male sexuality in Brazil and contemporary issues such as sexual orientation, first intercourse, perception of male sexual nature, sexual philosophies (with particular reference to gender and the double standard) and number of sexual partners. The findings show evidence for some aspects of traditional stereotypes, but also evidence of more gender-liberal and sexually monogamous traits among many men in São Paulo. Care needs to be taken against over-generalization regarding male sexuality in Brazil.
