| Resumo: | This article develops an analysis about “Viagem de núpcias” Rubens Fonseca’s short stories. In the analysis, the taboo issue is discussed, considering that main character can’t get sexual intercourse with his wife, due to excessive respect he had for her, althought he is a man that accumulates several sexual experiences. At this point, we also approach about men’s studies investigating to what extent this taboo affects subject’s sexuality. The loving theme is thought in a contrasting perspective to fleeting and cumulative relationships, becoming the predominant paradigm in contemporary society. Finally, this way of relationships doesn’t prove the competence about a sexuality linked to loving and affective scopes, but just fortuitous experiences. |
