The book "Representations of Masculinities in Playboy Brazil" by Marcel Arruda Furquim examines the portrayal of masculinity in the Brazilian edition of Playboy between 1978 and 1981. During this period, Brazil experienced a phase of profound social changes marked by the sexual revolution. These changes influenced not only sexuality but also gender roles and societal notions of masculinity and femininity. The Playboy magazines from these years provide a platform where discourses about male practices and ideals were formulated, shaping the perception of masculinity in society. The book aims to contribute to the history of masculinity by analyzing the cultural constructions and the associated sexual norms.
