Abstract
GALLEGO, Gabriel. First Homoerotic Experience in Males in Mexico City. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.2, pp.913-928. ISSN 1692-715X.
In this article a description the first homoerotic experience in a group of 250 gay/homosexual males in Mexico City is described. Through the course of life approach and the application of a biographic survey, it was possible for me to understand this process that puts into play in the males' minds a complete popular belief around virginity, pregnancy and paternity, and gives sense to "activity" and "passivity" in sexual performance. In homoerotism the age of the people interviewed and the age of their couple allow the understanding of gender relationships between males and the tendency to feminize the youngest male, since younger age turns them into someone penetrable.
