Under dictatorship in Argentina, sex and sexuality were regulated
to the point where sex education, explicit images, and even
suggestive material were prohibited. With the return to democracy
in 1983, Argentines experienced new freedoms, including sexual
freedoms. The explosion of the availability and ubiquity of sexual
material became known as the destape, and it uncovered sexuality in
provocative ways. This was a mass-media phenomenon, but it went
beyond this. It was, in effect, a deeper process of change in
sexual ideologies and practices. By exploring the boom of sex
therapy and sexology; the fight for the implementation of sex
education in schools; the expansion of family planning services and
of organizations dedicated to sexual health care; and the
centrality of discussions on sexuality in feminist and gay
organizations, Milanesio shows that the destape was a profound
transformation of the way Argentines talked, understood, and
experienced sexuality, a change in manners, morals, and personal
freedoms.
